Essential green belt is maintained. Natural habitat for wildlife. Green areas, wood and forests are lungs of the planet and destruction would add to climate change not reduce it as cannot dictate to people where they will work - where are jobs anyway?
Schools and transport will have to be considered. Demand increased by more houses. Level of traffic along Stoneleigh Road, A45 and A46 at peak times is immense - further traffic add to chaos. Cannot see how introduction of roads into new development will ease situation, as will ultimately flow into existing.
Do not need to build more houses for increased immigration when there is lost generation of school leavers not earning or learning new skills.
Should be training young people new skills for jobs that will be available at end of recession. Birth rates rising and life expectancy increasing but this may reverse.
Affordable housing will increase in value, will government then expect new affordable housing to be built? Too many people dealing with debt, repossession of property and loss of jobs. The answer is not to build more houses especially not on the green belt.
With loss of passenger flights and extension of runway at Birmingham airport, surely Coventry no longer needs an airport and has motorway network and major trunk roads nearby and is brown field.
Land available at North Leamington Community School is not in Core Strategy, but should be considered for Coventry overspill. Where overspill not able to be accommodated to the south of Coventry, it should be directed to nearest urban area - this means development on the edge of Kenilworth and possibly some on north side of Leamington and Warwick.
