There has been no public acknowledgment of the significant data that undermines the credibility of the need for 4000 houses let alone an increase to 4500.
The impact of 4000 house let alone 4500 houses on the environment, flood risk, river water quality and the transport network in Coventry have not been fully mitigated.
Please see two attachment that show the need for development on Kings Hill is unsound.
The Proposed number of house has been increased from 4000 to 4500. Evidence has been submitted showing that the area could not sustain even 4000.
The area was unable to accommodate 4000 houses because of the habitats. If each habitat, pond and ancient hedge is given the required protection there is not room for 4500 dwellings.
The south side of Coventry is stated in this main modification that it could provide 4500 houses whereas in MM8 the figure is stated as 4000. What is the planned figure.
The risk of flooding and contamination will be increased.
There is no account given in the modifications to the study by Professor Wellington on the undesirable bacteria in the local river resulting from no capacity at Finham Sewage Works.
There has been no public acknowledgment of the significant data that undermines the credibility of the need for 4000 houses let alone an increase to 4500.
