Gypsy and Traveller Site Options
GT07 Land at Stoneleigh Road

As Coventry CC cannot meet their housing requirement within their boundary, the shortfall will need to be met from sites on the periphery of Coventry. The LENCO site at Baginton could deliver approx 1000 dwellings - including the GT07. Infrastructure improvements associated with the Gateway will support housing development in this area. It is important that new housing is provided close to new employment and being close to Baginton, with access to Coventry, this is a sustainable location. This means this is an ideal site for housing.
The provision of a gyspy and traveller site in this area may preclude residential development on the rest of the site thereby losing the opportunity.
The Council has been inconsistent with its evidence base arguing this area is not suitable for housing in the SHLAA, at the same time arguing it may be suitable for the gyspy and traveller site. RPS believe this is a sustainable location for housing, but that a gyspy and traveller site should not be promoted here due to the potnetial for this to preclude a larger housing scheme
