King hill is home Badgers,Muntjac deer,Newts that populate the ponds on kings hill and numerous varieties of birds plus a bat colony .
The land contains the sites of a least two ancient Saxon settlements.
The land is prone to high levels of water in parts .
Why would Warwickshire build a stand alone development next door to Coventry AND Coventry allow this to happen if it were not to receive any benefit from it ie council tax. As i see it Finham would be over whelmed with the extra traffic, noise ,schools and medical services unable to cope. Green lane south in particular is no more than a country lane with its protected ancient hedgerow (mentioned in the Doomsday book) running down the road marking the border between the West Midlands and Warwickshire.Why not build onto existing Towns and Villages !!!!!.

The Alvis sports and social club is under threat from housing. The club is home to football teams of all ages young and older. There is a Netball team ,cricket teams and a bowling team plus a dominoes team and pool team.What would happen to this facility which supports the local community. Does health not matter anymore ?.
Kings hill is an area of beauty and should not be lost. It forms a natural screen of Coventry from Warwickshire as you travel along the A46. Houses would destroy this.Other areas should be considered first and foremost before green fields. Regeneration might cost more but would have less impact on the environment in the long term.
