Full text:

The proposed development on land adjacent to the Kenilworth Road is to support Coventry City Council's housing need. In practice it is unlikely that people who want to live and work in Coventry will buy houses here and therefore this development proposal will not support Coventry's housing need. Further, the addition of 250 homes will add considerably to the already heavily congested route between Leamington and the A46. While I don't object to a park & ride scheme in principle this has no relevance to Coventry's housing needs. Locating it at Blackdown is a poor decision as it is too close to the centre of Leamington and will do nothing to ease the traffic congestion along the A452.
