The Local Plan is not sound as it has not been positively prepared, justified and is not consistent with National Policy. The Green Belt Review 2009 identified Oaklea Farm and Baginton as sensitive sites and as such, retained in the Green Belt. These same sites are now proposed to be released from the Green Belt. The site at Kings Hill, Finham however, was recommended for further detailed study and this has not been carried out. Furthermore, the Green Belt and Green Field Review 2013 does not assess the Kings Hill site, but no reason for this is given.

The plan should provide a proactive approach to support the needs of neighbouring authorities. The housing requirement identified in the GL Hearn Joint Housing Market Area Assessment shows that Coventry will potentially require land outside its' boundary. The release of the Kings Hill area of Green Belt in Warwick District could address the necessary additional housing required in Coventry.

The site at King's Hill, Finham has not been properly assessed as was recommended in the Green Belt Review 2009. There is no justified reason as to why this site should be discounted from Green belt release and not included as an allocated housing site. It proves to be less sensitive than Oak Lee Farm, Baginton and some of the village sites and does not meet all of the purposes of the Green Belt set out in the NPPF. This site could deliver some of the housing requirements in Warwick which are potentially undeliverable. In this regard, as a minimum the site could be identified as ADR.
