The Joint Green Belt Study of June 2015 is listed in the Evidence Base, but its findings ignored. The associated SA Addendum makes a single mention of the JGBS with reference to Baginton as a growth village, recognizing that the JGBS 'found that the parcel of land (C14) comprising the Rosswood Farm site (H19) represents the principal protector of the countryside from further encroachment' and consequently the SA concluded that Rosswood Farm development in Baginton would have 'major negative effects on the Prudent Use of Land and Natural Resources).
The SA acknowledges the proposed urban extensions south of Coventry would have cumulative and potentially major negative effects on landscape, visual amenity and openness through loss of Green Belt and that these would remain even after mitigation.
Development in the Green Belt is excessive and not justified, particularly when the chosen sites are some of the most sensitive parts of Green Belt. The plan is unsound because it has not taken account of the Joint Green Belt Study.
