There is no need for additional housing to support Coventry, to be based in Old Milverton. Green belt land should not be used for this purpose.
This land is to be used to support Coventry City Council's housing need.
* The "Exceptional Circumstances" needed to remove this land from the green belt do not exist. There are lower value green belt sites closer to Coventry which on the basis of planning precedent should be used in preference to the land in Old Milverton.
* The idea that Warwick District Council should promote commuting from Old Milverton to Coventry is ill conceived, irresponsible and bad planning.
* In practice people who want to live and work in Coventry will not buy houses in Old Milverton.
