Representation Summary:

This land represents a green space which improves the quality of life of walkers, cyclists and runners from all around the town.

The land designated to be removed from the green belt would be of no effective use to meet the stated housing needs of Coventry. It is not on an adequate access route; it is too far to be appealing to people working in Coventry; and it would increase road traffic in ways which are inconsistent with the 'green' aspirations of both towns.

There are green belt sites already designated of lower value than this area, which could be developed instead.
