I suggest that consideration be given to lifting the Green Belt restriction at the Burton Green Option 7 location. This should be considered even if the consultation concludes that the primary development site for Burton Green might be elsewhere. This would improve further the sustainability of the village and provide some capacity to balance non-development in other areas of green belt requiring higher priority protection. For administrative convenience and to make use of an established cartographic line, it might be appropriate to move the green belt boundary and village boundary even further on the north-west side of Cromwell Lane - as far as the line of the Warwickshire/Solihull Boundary. This might extend from Hodgetts Lane to the boundary's three way junction with the Coventry City Council boundary near the junction between Cromwell Lane and Westward Heath Road. The irregularity of this line, used in this manner, would generate small parcels of discrete useful development land without setting a substantially detrimental precedent.
If this extended strategy was applied, it could also include the Burton Green Housing Site 2.
