It makes sense is so far as employment is needed by residents of Kenilworth and if this site is also used for significant housing development.

Qualified YES - It is impossible to give a reasoned response withour knowing the infrastructure impllications etc. Also Coventry fringe needs to be considered in the context of the future of Coventry Airport, which itself raises issues of sustainability.

Object to development due to:
1. Over estimating demand for land type, numerous existing empty or undeveloped existing sites
2. Use of greenbelt land.
3. Lack of local infrastructure, and impact upon local existing infrastructure.
4. Highway safety and traffic generation.- insufficient existing transport access
5. No consultation with Coventry residents identifying site as a 'standby site'.
5. Loss of visual amenity and impact upon local quality of life.
6. Impact upon environment.
7. Availability of several other, more appropriate brownfield sites in Warwickshire.
8. Significant local opposition.

Close to Coventry which offers much greater employment opportunities, closer to large brownfield sites for new employment development opportunities. Closer to higher/continuing education facilities. Better established infrastructure.

Any development of this land will adversely affect and eventually destroy the existing green belt between Coventry and Kenilworth and result in the destruction of their separate identities and the creation of urban sprawl and is therefore to be strongly deprecated.

The land south of Green Lane, Kings Hill, Finham should never be used as employment land as it is not necessary, the traffic and noise would be a nuisance and the infrastructure can't serve current situations creating gridlocked roads which would be unsafe for the schools in the area. The loss of farm land and green belt land is unacceptable. Wildlife will be destroyed and the area is prone to flooding in parts because of Finham Brook.

King's Hill is insufficient to accommodate a significant employment area to generate a cluster of business uses and is not effectively connected to other business areas.

Other Local factors and reasons why the development would be inappropriate:
(a) Odour from Finham Sewage Works
(b) Development would risk the purity of the aquifer beneath the site from which STW extract water for local water supply and would lead to loss of a scarce supply of potable water.
(c) Noise from A46
(d) Loss of two plant nursery projects providing employment to mainly disabled people.

This green belt land is currently productive farmland and also provides employment for people with learning difficulties at two nurseries. Due to current economic climate it is unlikely there would be many, if any, employment opportunities at the Uni of Warwick or any related businesses.

Developing this area wouldn't be wise because:
1 it's green belt!
2 the traffic implementation onto existing roads would make an already poor situation worse - St Martins Road junction with a45, a45 in all directions and A46 where it meets London Road all suffer from backed up traffic already.

There has been from what I can see no mention of access to the sites, no mention of improving already congested roads to help cope with 2600 extra residents travelling around the area. I think this option to develop Kings hill is not the best choice.

The traffic in the area is already constricted. The schools are full with waiting lists already as are the area doctors also i think green belt land deserves to be protected.

Why should coventry be used on such a large scale as this when all other areas shown are miniscule in proportion!

with appropriate densiities this site could accommodate a large part of the housing currently required on green field land.
- Proximity to University and Coventry and new Kenilworth railway station, and A46 are significant advantages.

Loss of greenbelt which contains historic woodlands, hedge rows, trees and ancient monuments.
Loss of rich arable farm land at a time when more food is required.
Loss of wildlife habitats, including badgers, bats and great crested newts.
Lack of supporting infrastructure to support the development. The road and rail services would be drastically overstretched as well as local schools.
Coventry has taken on an unrealistic quota of housing which is being overspill into Warwick.
Great lack of of information on this issue for Coventry residents.
Local people do not wish this development to go ahead.

Local infrastructure and facilities are inadequate to cope with additional traffic and people. Would need to be increased significantly including possible A46/A45 link road.

Development south of Coventry would eventually merge Coventry and Kenilworth, contribute to urban sprawl and existing traffic problems within Kenilworth.

Loss of wildlife habitat.

SoS of DEFRA stated that we should be producing more of our own food. This is good quality arable land and is too important to lose.

SCW vision states the need for more action to maintain and enhance the biodiversity of the Sub-Region.

Known flooding problems in the area that would be aggravated
