Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Crest object to this policy which does not allocate land within their control at Lodge farm , Westward Heath Road, Coventry. These representations should be read in conjunction with those on duty to Co-operate and Policy DS6- Level of Housing Growth, Policy DS7 - Meeting Housing Requirements and DS1O Broad Location tor Development. As stated in our objection to the level of proposed development (Policy DS6) as well as Duty to Co-operate) there is a recognised and identified need for additional housing within the District not just to meet the District's housing needs but probably also those of adjoining districts such as Coventry. The Local Plan should and must provide the necessary certainty that those needs will be met. This can only be achieved if additional land is identified for housing development.

The Joint Green BElt Study (2009) concluded that the land is one of the least constrained parcels to the south of Coventry and potentially suitable to be released from the green belt.

The suitability of the site for development was identified within the SHLAA (May 2013). The site is available, suitable and deliverable.

It has been demonstrated that both the existing road network and schools have capacity to cope with the proposed development.
