Warwick District Council should reject this proposal and refer the issue back to Coventry District Council. there is no justification for the use of greenbelt land- there are no exceptional circumstances. There are Brownfield sites that can be used or further developed within Coventry itself and these should be maximised to their fullest potential before any suggestion of greenbelt land being used for housing is even discussed.
The new plan addresses housing issues in Coventry, which is not addressing local Warwickshire concerns. The greenbelt land identified is integral to promoting a clean and healthy environment for our future. There is no need for the land to be utilised in this way and not to satisfy a neighbouring council. The amount of houses (how many of which would be social housing?) would change the environment permanently and is not justified. Not to mention the amount of traffic which would further destruct the environment. The park and ride suggestion is a nonsense- there is no justification for this and in practice they are underused and expensive.
