The Cannon Park area is soon to be burdened by the approved construction of a new Tesco store. This in its self is not objectionable, however, The additional accommodation/housing that is proposed is objected to most strongly.
The area infrastructure currently classified as 'critical' - barely capable of handling existing peak hour traffic.
Substantial additional traffic which will be generated by (approved)nearby major developments (Tesco, W.U. expansion, Canley regeneration etc.,) Further, considerable increase in the volume of traffic attributable to Hurst Farm would bring to a crescendo the noise pollution and vehicle pollution and overwhelm the inadequate road network.
Congestion on Gibber Hill Road and Stoneleigh road will force traffic to use Westwood Heath Road, Kirby Corner Road and Sir Henry Parkes Road to access A45 and City Center. Gridlock is readily predictable.
The value of the existing property in this area is based upon a quiet location and this is already in question regarding the existing development awaiting construction by Tesco and Warwick University. Will there be a compensation package to the owners of property being de valued by the scheme proposed? There seems never to be any thought about the owners of existing property and the basis that they bought this housing. Where on earth is it possible to live and retire that is not about to be pounced upon to cover the green field sites and agricultural land with more concrete.
There are many adequate industrial sites in Coventry that would benefit form the relocation of this scheme and it to be done in a local and sustainable manor with micro generation at its core and the collection of water and its use to green infrastructure that could be part of such new development.
The provision of working or live work property could be done in conjunction with land owners who own industrial sites needing regeneration and not spoiling the beauty of nature that is all to unavailable in our times.
The increment of the closure of the Kenilworth/Coventry gap is also a negative move in regard to the gaining pressure of development in open spaces.
What attention has been paid to the report of Richard Rodgers outlining the pitiful state of the housing stock and infrastructure in the UK?
It appears that the urban conurbation stretching from Nuneaton in the north to Stratford in the south (Linear City concept is still being perused despite wiser counsel prevailing. Would you please identify the offset of such impacts for both the dwellers in these areas and the wildlife that drew us to settle hear.
The use of agricultural land for accommodation is highly risky with the change in the climate that is affecting the production of food and its security in the UK as a whole and no doubt in this local.
There would be great benefit in providing any further built environment to be of an in ground strategy thereby releasing the above ground to open space and green countryside, with all the increase in health and open access that this would provide. In ground building is not a new development and it would provide opportunity to utilize heat pump technology and ensure best practice in insulation needs for the coming or should it be confirmed existing severe weather in all seasons and now in a mixed season environment.
