The proposal that Warwick district should take the largest share of Coventry's unmet housing need is unsound, given the Green Belt status of a large part. The NPPF requires that unmet needs from neighbouring authorities should only be accommodated 'when it reasonable to do so and consistent with achieving sustainable development'. Para 14 footnote 9 specifically excludes land in Green Belt.
Insufficient attention has been paid to infrastructure, and pressure on local roads. The proposed development at King's Hill and the proposed sub-regional employment site (DS16) and 80 houses at Rosswood Farm in Baginton (H19) will generate intolerable amounts of traffic through the villages of Stoneleigh, Baginton and Bubbenhall.
The policy has not paid sufficient attention to the Joint Green Belt Study 2015.
