By allocating some housing and employment development in south east Kenilworth, the amount of out-commuting from the town (much of which is undertaken by car) will be potentially reduced. By locating it in this part of Kenilworth, the development will be able to make use of the strategic bus connections between Coventry and Leamington Spa/Warwick, as well as the proposed new rail station.
Transport mitigation measures could include:
- new railway station at Kenilworth and improved rail & bus links in north/south corridor;
- dedicated cycle link between Kenilworth & Coventry;
- improved traffic management; bus service & urban cycle network

This allocation, adjacent to the built-up area of Coventry, will maximise trips to be made into the city centre by bus. Shorter trips both within the site and to nearby services and facilities can be made on foot or by bike.
Transport mitigation measures could include:
- upgrade of the A46 Stoneleigh Interchange; improvements to the C32 Stoneleigh Road between the A46 and the A429 Kenilworth Road; and to the A429 Kenilworth Road/C32 Stoneleigh Road/Gibbet Hill junction;
- measures to minimise the impact of traffic through Stoneleigh village;
- improvements to public transport, including
links to the existing network in Coventry;
possible extension of the proposed Bus Rapid Transit network in Coventry ; and possible provision of a railway station at Gibbet Hill; and
- a comprehensive network of pedestrian and cycle routes to/from and within the site; and
- a Green Travel Plan for the overall development.

Work is currently being undertaken by the County Council to develop a number of the transport mitigation measures described above in order to inform the preparation of the Infrastructure Delivery Plan. It is suggested that officers from both the District and County Council meet at an appropriate point in the near future to discuss which measures need to be included in the Plan, who the lead delivery organisation will be, the likely timescale for the improvements to come forward, and their anticipated cost.

By limiting the amount of development in villages, hamlets and the open countryside, the impact of traffic on rural roads within the District will be minimised.
