I object to the Hurst Farm Development for the following Reasons:
1. Vast amounts of green belt farmland and woodland are being lost every year throughout Britain and once lost cannot be replaced. We have less land to produce our food and so have to import more food which adds to our carbon foot print. This is bad for the environment, bad for the economy and bad for farming. It also makes Britain more reliant on other countries. Not a good idea in times of crisis.
2. Valuable wildlife habitat would be destroyed including farmland and wooded areas. This is putting more pressure on the diverse wildlife in the area. Councils should be more concerned about the destruction of our wildlife heritage.
3. Gibbet Hill and Westwood Heath are already very overcrowded. The traffic jams on Gibbet Hill are extremely bad and this development will make the situation much worse. It would again be very bad for the environment.
4. The buffer zone should be preserved between Coventry and Kenilworth to prevent urban sprawl and air pollution.
