The overall housing provision does not meet the identified housing requirements set out in the evidence base.
There is a relationship between new jobs in the District and the demand for new houses, but there will be demand for housing from people who work outside the District.
The level of growth is insufficient -lower than the evidence in the SHMA and recent household projections. It fails to take account of the decisions of adjacent local authorities.
It is wrong to use a capcity based approach to growth instead of demand and anyway Duty to Cooperate requires unmet need to be delivered elsewhere

It is sensible to develop the CIL scheme alongside the Local Plan. It is however essential that the emerging CIL adopts realistic rates of charging so as not to impede the delivery of strategic sites where the initial investment in infrastructure etc is extremely high.

Given that the SHHA identifies an annual need for affordable housing of 698 dwellings which exceeds the preferred option for housing growth, this is a further indication that there is no justification to phase the release of housing sites.

Need further housing to meet the needs of the District and Coventry.
Green belt will need to be released to do this.
The Land at Lodge Farm (C14C) was assessed in the green belt study as being one of the least constrained parcels to the south of Coventry and potentially suitable to be released from the green belt.
The SHLAA identified the site as suitable - it is therefore available, suiatble and achievable.
The traffic modelling and schools concluded there were no problems with this site
