Representation Summary:

This land is a much-used 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 also too far away from Coventry to be appealing to people working there. And it would substantially increase road traffic.

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