Representation Summary:

Policy DS16 Sub-Regional Employment Site is unsound, it contravenes the NPPF (National Planning Policy Framework); there has been no consultation with the local community and other stakeholders concerning the removal of this land from Green Belt; the Sub-Regional Employment Site is NOT the most appropriate strategy when considered against reasonable alternatives.
There are no 'exceptional circumstances' that would justify the revision of the Green Belt in this location. The identified site should be removed from the proposals map and the area around Coventry airport retained in Green Belt.
