I am generally in support of the proposed preferred site Option 1, subject to the following points:

1. The number of houses is reduced to maximum of 30-35 due to over-development and impact on infrastructure and split over another option towards Tile Hill end (sites 2,5 or 6)

2. The development should include some substantial land for a church as this is currently lacking in the village

3. Site access is from Hob Lane instead of Red Lane

4. Existing hedgerow/trees, particularly on Red Lane side, is maintained/kept to decrease visual impact, and preserve Red Lane as an attractive, quality road

Other comments:

- Are the primary school existing facilities able to cope with substantial increases in student numbers?

- The housing numbers should definitely be split over another site (i.e option 5), as this is too much development for one site, causing increases in traffic, and spoiling/impacting visually on a quality, attractive and up-market section of the village

- Advantages of some of the housing being the Tile Hill/Westwood end is this is attractive to be nearer amenities and facilities, especially GP, and other shops, station etc, in Tile Hill.

- The housing should be quality and substantial housing, so as to attract more professional and 'white-collar' residents in keeping with the existing character of the road, and also to ensure crime levels are not increased, and other social issues are not exaggerated.
