Why is HS2 mentioned as contributing to the area of growth. HS2 only passes through the area. Only refer to proposed transport networks to encompass these issues in the local plan policy.
The inclusion of this policy is welcomed together with the potential for it to expand in the future if necessary. It means that further land take south the towns to accommodate the new requirement from the HMA problem is no longer necessary since further land south of Coventry is.
It is important that the Duty to Cooperate obligations across the HMA are acknowledged.
It would be expected that as these developments are initiated by their projected unmet need that Coventry's planners will take the lead in producing a comprehensive development plan for all the sites being provided by the remainder of the Housing Market Area. The infrastructure works will need to be coordinated with matters within the city boundary as well as the adjacent sites.

The joint authorities should devise plans that when developers are preparing their parts of the plan, they have a clear idea of what they are expected to include within their planning application.
