I think it would be very regrettable to develop this site, impinging on the green belt which gives separate identities to Coventry and Kenilworth.
I find it surprising that housing needs have reached or might reach such a level as to make that a possibility. I do wonder if the figures are subject to amendment now the housing boom is over for the time being.

3,500 units is almost a new town that is being proposed without full responsibility being assumed by anybody. To residents of Green Lane this Green Belt is a valuable resource.

The failure of Warwick and Coventry Councils to provide access to the University has proved a disaster for the small roads and lanes around. This development will make the situation the worse. Just building houses without infrastructure will lead to so many problems that can not, even with hindsight, be overcome. This is a poor ill conceived scheme which in the end will leave Coventry and Kenilworth joined up.

The area is a green lung between Coventry and Kenilworth. It serves as a reservoir for a diversity of wild life, flora and fauna, and for the local populace. There are many mature trees., which contribute to lowering the Carbon footprint.
Apart from the proposed housing development, the infrastructure require would completely destroy the valuable and valued character of the area

Proposed loss of green belt land- (no longer regarded as sacrosanct?!)
An excessive number of new dwellings.
Traffic problems envisaged - poor infrastructure. Loss of farming land - cross boundary overspill endangering areas of recognised and both geographical and historical value - a lack of communication as well as know limitations to proposed sites etc.

This housing is not needed at this location. It will cause extensive traffic congestion because of University and Westwood park offices. There must be far better locations available e.g.industrial units no longer in use in both Coventry and Warwick areas.

Vital to keep greenbelt between Coventry and Kenilworth. The environmental impact that a development would have on this area would be devastating- not to mention the negative impact that housing and business units would have upon the already overloaded infrastructure and amenities.

A housing development next to a large sewage works seems an ill thought out option.

The council need to rethink their plans in order to achieve a balance between providing housing and preserving greenbelt land that characterises the neighourhood and provides a distinct boundary between Coventry and Kenilworth.

Without a new major road transport infrastructure ie a Coventry / Kenilworth outer ring road system, this proposal will cause local traffic congestion akin to that experienced daily on the M25.
The current Kenilworth Road, Stoneliegh Road and Gibbet Hill Road network is already at saturation point at peak travel times.
The proposed site, bounded on three sides by Coventry City will create a isolated living environment. It will be unatractive to those executive home buyers seeking the prestige of a Warwicksire or Kenilworth address. The marketing alternative being a vast low cost housing development.

King's Hill is NOT a 'reasonable' option
Precious green belt land must be protected
Services, facilities, roads, infrastructure only just able to cope with current population

If this land were to be used at all, it would be better used initially to create jobs in the manufacturing industry. We need to generate some jobs before we consider putting more housing in an area with no sufficient infrastructure to cope. What about traffic, schools, libraries, shops, green space play areas... the list goes on. Would Warwick pay for this because although the residents would be paying rates to Warwick, they would be using ALL of Coventry's amenities! Very unfair and a drain on an already depleted money pot.

The site currently provides a habitat for a number of animal and bird species, providing hedgerows, ponds, grass and woodland, some of which are protected.

Further, there are historic hedgerows within the site dating back hundreds of years, show on historic maps of the area.

The loss of any of this would be a travesty, and not only loss of habitat for animals, but loss of such a resource of education for our children for future years, a habitat that is becoming rare, particulalrly in and around such big cities.

Finham functions as a village but does not have the status and protections of one.
Coventry does not need to develop outside its boundary.
Availability of Greenfield land will be a disincentive to developers to engage in urban renewal of Coventry.
Use of greenfield land at Finham goes against policy guidance in RSS, such as building leading to commuting, on greenbelt, sustainability and high quality and high density.
This area would involve loss of green belt and is also productive, high quality agricultural land.

It would erode gap between existing settlements.

Warwick District should unequivocally renounce building on King's Hill.

Strongly Object to these proposals.I believe the traffic congestion is already too much now in morning and evening rush hours. Also this is a required greenbelt land that should be kept as that for our wildlife. New housing would also join the Finham area to Kenilworth, and there would be no boundary between the two. It would not be a desirable location opposite the sewage works ! and in close proximity to the airport. The school is already too over-subscribed with pupils from outside the catchment area, and to build more housing in this area is a wrong choice.
