It is claimed that the new housing requirement is the Districts objectively assessed need which is based on the needs of the Coventry and Warwickshire sub-region. No sub-regional plan has been published so the validity of these claims cannot be assessed.
As this is stated to be the basis of the housing need in Warwick District the evidence should be presented to allow community consultation on the officers recommendations for the JSHMA. If areas of Warwickshire are to be given to Coventry to fulfil its building requirements the residents must be presented with proof that Coventry has done everything possible inside its own boundaries. The policy of safeguarding areas of greenspace around Coventry needs to be critically addressed as the purposeof the 2009 green belt review was to find extra land for Coventry and not consider the needs of Warwickshireor adjoining communities. The basis of the calculation for housing development has been undermined by the recently stated aim of Coventry City Council to build housing development on Kings Hill.
