Helping Shape the District

Representation ID: 46125

Received: 14/07/2011

Respondent: Graham A. Reynolds

Representation Summary:

Is concerned over the credibility of the Enterprise Zone proposals at Coventry Airport and how this might influence decisions within the New Local Plan. Experience from other similar sites such as Ansty Park suggests that progress developing the site is unlikely to happen over night. The number of jobs forecast appears very optimistic particularly since the level is higher that that stated for the recently agreed Stafford Enterprise Zone which is larger. The required road infrastructure is not easily solved particularly at the Tollbar End roundabout, the proposed solutions raise concerns for the highways authority and other businesses in the area. The EA has information on locally known landfill sites in the Baginton area. Careless development may risk contaminants finding their way into the Avon.
