Erosion of Green Belt

Full text:

The green belt land between Coventry and Birmingham will eventually disappear if planning is approved in this area. We already have the Airport and the NEC, plus an ever growing town of Balsall Common.
Since Westwood Business park has been built we have continual road congestion and speeding through our residential area of Burton Green. It is very difficult to cross the road when taking my grandson to and from the village school.
No new roads have been built or planned to care for this existing increase let alone another huge development such as Hurst Farm.
The area around Crackley and Bockendon is beatiful and rural and should be retained as this.
We have already seen sufficient development in Westwood Heath Road and also on the sight of the old Sports Centre in Cromwell Lane plus of course Warwick University.
I strongly object to the proposal to build on Hurst Farm.
