The proposed site at Burrow Hill nursery is not sufficiently well justified. The site being promoted by my clients to r/o Cromwell Lane and Hodgetts Lane is more appropriate and sustainable. See also reps to Mod 8 which argue the plan is unsound due to the approach it takes to accommodating the needs of the City. As a result the site r/o Cromwell Lane and Hodgetts Lane should be allocated and shown on the policies map 6.
The Burrow Hill Nursery site is not as well located for buses, the railway stationat Tile Hill, new facilities at Westwood Heath. IOt is also likely to experience noise problems due to location adjacent to HS2 tunnel portal. Further a high pressure pipeline runs through part of the site and is on an aquifer with medium/high vulnerability. Finally development here would have an impact on landscape.
None of these constraints apply to the land r/o Cromwell Lane and Hodgetts Lane. The access to this site is now resolved, the site is in an area of lower landscape value and development is achievable subject to landscaping. This site is therefore more appropriate and its delivery is less constrained by HS2
