Full text:

The District has participated in a strategic employment land review, through the Coventry and Warwickshire LEP, a review of major employment sites and in the City Deal for Coventry and Warwickshire that has led to the identification of the former Honiley Airfield as an important investment site. The NPPF requires planning to proactively drive and support economic development and to do everything it can to support sustainable economic growth, but attaches great importance to green belts in retaining openness and preventing urban sprawl. The approach of the plan to the former Honiley Airfield reflects these important principles and the duty to co-operate.
