The site at the Peeping Tom Public House, Burton Green is available, and suitable to provide additional housing in Burton Green. The village is affected by HS2. One of the consequences of this is that the allocated site at Burrow Hill Nursery is unlikely to come forward before HS2 is complete. The plan therefore provides no flexibility for the delivery of housing in the village. Further, the Plan does not take account the loss and abandonment of homes as a result of HS2 is we have estimated at around 55 dwellings or 20.91% of the housing stock in the village. Further land therefore needs to be allocated. The site at Cromwell Lane would be a suitable Green Belt release and is isolated from HS2. Evidence has previously been submitted - centrally located, close to public transport and employment opportunities. Vehicular access can be achieved and work has been undertaken to demonstrate landscape and visual impacts are acceptable. Further the site can delivered in 5 years. A similar site to the north is proposed for allocation in Coventry's Local Plan.
