Alternative Sites Consultation

Representation ID: 43894

Received: 06/04/2010

Respondent: Mrs Marilyn Bull

Representation Summary:

The Land at Baginton is sufficiently large to sustain a mixed development as outlined in the document. However, caveats are that any development should be carried out with a sympathetic view to existing local inhabitants and that there should be clear indications of how Coventry airport, if it is retained, would operate in the future.
We support the proposal given its proximity to existing infrastructure and the facilities Coventry offers. With the nearby historical sites and nurseries, this is an opportunity to provide a well-planned, well-landscaped housing development ensuring it is eco-friendly and a pleasure to inhabit.

The area indicated in the Core Strategy would appear to be sufficiently large to sustain a mixed development as outlined in the document. However, any development should be carried out with a sympathetic view to existing local inhabitants.
If Coventry Airport is retained in some shape or form, this would surely have an impact on any new residential development. We think there should be clear indications of how the airport would operate in the future in the light of the proposed intensified development.
We support the proposal in general given its proximity to existing infrastructure and the facilities Coventry offers and it would provide a boost to the surrounding small businesses. With the nearby historical sites and nurseries, this is an opportunity to provide a well-planned, well-landscaped housing development with every effort made to make it eco-friendly and a pleasure to inhabit.
