Preferred Options

I think that the preferred option requires too many new houses. The assumed population growth figure I think implies some inward migration. Natural population growth would not be as high as stated over this length of time. There is brownfield land to spare in Coventry and Birmingham and if houses are needed in the Midlands as a whole, that land should be used first. Too many people here will start to damage the very features which made it an attractive area in the first place.
