-The land at Lodge Farm is one of the least constrained parcels south of Coventry and potentially suitable for release from the Green Belt (Coventry Joint Green Belt Review, July 2009).
-The SHLAA identifies that the land is suitable, achievable and deliverable. The site was not recognised as having a high landscape value and 18.5 hectares could be developed with satisfactory mitigation.
-The site has been intensely farmed for many years and there is little biodiversity interest within the land itself. Development would provide the opportunity to enhance biodiversity.
-HS2 would not restrict the development of the site.
-Site access can be obtained for the requisite standards to serve a development of up to 800 dwellings.
-There are no other technical or environmental issues that would prohibit the delivery of the site.
