Respondent: Mr Peter Barclay

Representation Summary:

I support the plan as drafted, as it allows for the controlled incursion into current greenbelt land that is deemed necessary for a controlled expansion of housing to extend existing communities. However I am concerned that the recent news in the press regarding Kings Hill may be re-considered as a possible development site for 5,000 homes within the new local plan. This type of development would destroy ay kind of boundary between Coventry and Kenilworth, creating an urban sprawl that would be unsupportable by the current road infrastructure.
