The proposals has been brought forward as a rapid response to the Inspector's initial findings, it has therefore been introduced late in to the process. Rugby and North Warwickshire are less densely populated and could accommodate a greater share of Coventry's overspill. Kings Hill concentrates too many houses in one area and will dwarf neighbouring Finham. The location of the site also removes valuable green space adjacent to the City - green belt has always been protected in the past.

The plan requires considerable infrastructures to address: disturbing bat colonies; flooding; water contamination; drainage issues; archaeology; ancient woodlands, trees and hedgerows; the network of pipes under the site. there has been no in depth ecological study in to the site. Further, Wainbody Wood should be excluded from the site. The proposals will lead to loss of farmland and will increase the carbon footprint. The Alvis sports ground should be protected. Access would need to be from roads that are already congested. Local schools are already at capacity. So where is the infrastructure to support 4000 homes
