Object to Kings Hill development. Short sighted proposal in construction of unnecessary housing in current depressed market. Coventrys housing stock already includes many empty houses and flats so difficult to see where market is for enormous housing estate.
Coventry struggling to supply employment for current population so little to attract people to area.
Poor access to amenities, poor public transport so use of car a necessity.
Has feasibility been discussed with Severn Trent? Already problems with sewage in Finham area so would need major investment to cope with such a large development.
Acknowledged constraints: scheduled ancient monument, regionally important geological site, flood risk zones, undulating land, noise from A46 and railway line, impact on area of medium and high landscape value.
Kings Hill historic area with links to Stoneleigh Abbey: ancient hedgerows, diverse wildlife. Green barrier separating Coventry from Kenilworth.
