Object to site at Kings Hill:
Housing predictions are at best, educated guesses. Local govt. then expected to toe the line and look for possible sites. Quality being sacrificed for achieving numbers dicatated by distant govt. Decisions should be made by those living and working in an area.
Brown field should be developed first and needs careful monitoring to ensure that full capacity is achieved before green belt land considered.
Green fields between Coventry and Kenilworth is essential to quality of life of both communities.
Currently used for crops and livestock as well as habitat to wildlife, which is disappearing elsewhere.
In current economic climate, govt. putting 'cart before the horse'. People need employment to earn money to buy homes. Who will be living in new homes? Until resurgence in the economy, picture is unclear - another reason for more measured approach to housing development.
Need for detailed survey of infrastructure.
