Alternative Sites Consultation

Representation ID: 44266

Received: 08/04/2010

Respondent: Mr Raymond Bullen

Representation Summary:

The whole site is not appropriate for full development. However, the area is identified as one of low landscape value. This site could take pressure away from King's Hill with the provision of 1400 homes and 30ha of employment land.

Owing to its potential role in providing Coventry overflow, the land south of the A45 to the west of the 10.4ha employment land shown could provide a further 10ha of housing, 400 homes. A shelter belt zone could be retained between this development and Baginton village, keeping it clear of Lunt Fort and the river flood plain.

I do not think that the whole site is appropriate for full development. However, the Joint Greenbelt Review identifies the area as one of low landscape value, owing to the airport, business parks and previous development. It appears sensible to use this site to take pressure away from King's Hill with the provision of 1400 homes and 30ha of employment land. Development of this site would not be expected until the third phase (2021-26).
