Representation Summary:

Coventry's housing needs should be addressed closer to Coventry. The road system between Leamington and Coventry is almost at breaking point as it is.

The farmland that the site is proposed for is in 'food production' which will be gone forever. Surely it is better to used lower value land, such as small pony paddocks and waste ground first. Sites have been identified.

I don't see that there are exceptional circumstances for using this land when there are viable alternatives.
