-The Revised development Strategy consultation document acknowledges at paragraph 4.1.1 that the proposed level of housing growth (12,300 homes between 2011 and 2029) may be revised pending the findings of a Joint SHMA between Coventry City Council, Warwick District, Rugby Borough and Nuneaton & Bedworth Borough Councils, and the resulting co-operation between the authorities.

-The West Midlands RSS Revision Phase 2 (which was never adopted due to a change in
Government), proposed that Warwick District Council allocate 3,500 dwellings within its boundaries to the south of Coventry to accommodate Coventry overflow.

-Should Warwick District Council be required to accommodate a proportion of Coventry's growth, a Green Belt review would be required since Coventry City is surrounded by Green Belt.
