Development here would:
* benefit from existing infrastructure close to Coventry, including the re-opening of Kenilworth railway station;
* support the regeneration of Coventry and focus development on the core north-south corridor in the sub region (also close to the A46 and A45 transport corridors);
* allow separate identities of the four towns to be maintained by removing pressure to 'join them up' with continuous housing.
Refusal of planning permission for Coventry airport expansion and subsequent decision by the owners to put it up for sale provides an ideal opportunity to meet the housing needs of both Warwickshire and Coventry without using Greenfield land.
