Crest object to the proposed hierarchy in that it does not consider how unmet development needs from adjoining Districts can and should be met. It is highly likely that the District will have to accommodate some of the unmet housing needs from Coventry City. The Local Plan should consider how best such housing needs can be accommodated in a sustainable way.

It is concluded that these housing needs me best accommodated on land currently within the green belt to the south of Coventry. Where it has been recognised previously that Coventry's housing needs could not be met land to the south of Coventry partly in the green belt have been identified for release. Crest control land at Lodge Farm, which is immediately available to accommodate additional housing development the Joint Strategic Green Belt Study confirmed that the land had potential to be released from the green belt.
