Questionnaire Response: I object strongly. This is designated green belt land and provides a valuable home to wildlife and area of natural beauty for local residents.

A. At present the local roads cannot support the current levels of traffic in this area. Westwood Heath Road, Gibbett Hill and the University campus, Business Park and Science Park already create major problems for local residents and Crackley Lane is extremely dangerous at various times throughout the day, depending on the flow of traffic. The recent parking issues thanks to the University's charging structure have already created problems for residents around the University. The last snow also showed what a nonsense the current system is.
B. Coventry will bear the brunt of any extra housing/transport issues, and therefore local residents who are not necessarily being made aware of this situation by Warwick District Council.
C. This is green belt land if there were to be further development on green belt it should be to improve access to and parking facilities at and into Warwick University and NOT residential development.
D. There will no longer be any distinction between Coventry and Kenilworth if this area is developed - they will merge together seamlessly.
