NPPF 13 (protecting Green Belt land) has an imperative purpose, to assist in safeguarding the countryside from encroachment and should ensure priority is given to non-Green Belt sites. ‘Land is to be removed from Green Belt only if the established need cannot be met by other means’. This clearly is not the case given other options in the surrounding and further Warwickshire Area. (X1 and X2 provide 650 hectares of non-Green belt land suitable for development).
Access to the site is insufficient.
Reliance on an underfunded and substantially overstretched local rail infrastructure and near obsolete rolling stock, throwing considerable doubt on ability to fund and deal with extra capacity.
The proposed scheme will not attract employment from the south given the ongoing development and existing schemes at Segro Park - Coventry, Prologis Park - Ryton and the proposed Gigafactory at Coventry Airport.
There is a significant risk of excessive noise and light pollution to nearby homes.
Significant and unattainable drainage measures will be required to be implemented.
