As a resident in Westwood Heath I strongly object to this proposed development for the following reasons:-
1.Building on this greenbelt land is totally unacceptable and will :-
a. Result in the merger of Coventry & Kenilworth.
b. Destroy the small areas of natural open space left which is vital to the local residents and is the reason most people live in the area.
c. Impact & destroy local wildlife in the area.
2. Building on greenbelt land should be considered as a last resort once all Brownfield sites in Coventry have been exhausted
3. The local road infrastructure will be unable to support the development as traffic congestion is already under strain and this will only increase and lead to complete gridlock in the area
4. Cannon Park would not be able to support additional homes in the area along with current residential developments and Warwick University expansion.
5. With the proposed high speed rail link passing next to this proposed development, is it still viable and will people want to move there?
