Received: 08/04/2010

Respondent: Mr Raymond Bullen

Representation Summary:

Not appropriate for full development. The A46 forms the natural north and west boundary to development. Woodloes Lane is on a ridge. Building from this line would be visually intrusive. However, north of the Nursery, development will present minimal visual impact owing to the topography. At least 16.9ha is suitable for 550 homes, but this could be extended northwards to take in Loes Farm up to Como pit woodland with a substantial 50m wide shelter belt to the west of the Coventry Road, opposite Saxon mill. This would increase the area by 6ha and add a further 240 homes.
