Revised Development Strategy

Representation ID: 59121

Received: 26/07/2013

Respondent: Ms Patricia Campbell

Representation Summary:

I object strongly to The Gateway and the totally unsuitable development of Green Belt land. In no respect should this project be given credence in the light of unfounded promises of boosting employment numbers and eroding such large areas and blighting the land. Please take on board the BPC concerns and see less commerce £ signs and a more balanced view of the benefit of such a scheme. In light of so many industrial units being empty in and around Coventry and businesses crumbling daily, it seems preposterous for more green belt land to be taken forever and lives and homes ruined.

Where extra housing is also concerned, please take into account the lack of transport, amenities, schools, doctors are a-lacking in this area and a small village can only take so much. 70-90 properties is extreme. A small number as was built in Andrews Close would be acceptable, but no more. Farmland and people's properties would have to be purloined to accommodate to high numbers. If there is a good infrastructure to support such changes then they should be considered but not until.
