Local Plan Main Modifications 2017

Representation ID: 70477

Received: 03/05/2017

Respondent: Cryfield Land (Kenilworth) Ltd

Agent: Mr Niall Crabb

Representation Summary:

Whilst it is supported that "Greenfield sites on the edge of Coventry" are necessary to meet the housing need, in order to produce a "sound" plan, greater provision on such land would be preferable to other Greenfield sites proposed on the edge of other towns.

This being for a combination of reasons relating to sustainability, existence of existing services, close to centres of employment, close to Warwick University and, that large areas of land are already identified for possible development between Coventry and the HS2 line and specifically referred to in MM17 Policy DSNEW 1.
