Respondent: Stoneleigh & Ashow Parish Council

The calculation of the employment land requirement is flawed:
- a 60% contingency has been applied to the requirement to provide "flexibility of supply" (16.5 has) and " flexibility and the assumptions used in modelling & forecasting" (5has)
- 13.5 has have been added to the requirement to allow for the redevelopment of existing employment areas. It is not acceptable to take land in urban areas out of employment use and replace it on greenfield sites. The strategy should be to improve the effective use of existing employment sites at increased density.
- If flexibility is reduced to 16.5 has and existing employment areas improved at higher densities, there would be no requirement for new employment sites

Objects to the site for the following reasons:
- the employment land requirement is flawed and there is no need for a sub-regional site in the Green Belt
-no definition is given of "sub-regional" and need is based on the RSS Phase 2 Revision which has been abolished
- no justification for need for such site or demand for uses
- no justification for locating all the B1, B8, A1, A3 and other uses together on one site
- even if justification for need proven, no justification for siting in Warwick District
- no very special circumstances justified for Green belt development
- site would lead to coalescence of Baginton & Coventry
- site would be better located close to areas of high unemployment
- no consideration given to alternative sites
