BASE HEADER

This proposal runs directly counter to the Core Strategy Executive Summary, p.1, paragraph 2 and its declared aim 'to protect the most important areas of green belt that separates [Kenilworth] from the urban area of Coventry'. This aim coincides with the wishes of local residents, but housing in such a sensitive area and on such a scale would defeat it at a stroke, and be the not-so-thin edge of destroying the 'Green Wedge' between Kenilworth and Coventry.

It may seem that this proposal pales into insignificance beside that to site the route of the proposed High Speed trains between Birmingham and London across this area, thus destroying it completely. But I have always understood that any planning proposal should be considered on its own merits, without reference to other considerations. In my view this proposal has none.
