Object to Kings Hill site:
Essential green belt areas maintained. Natural habitat for wildlife. Green areas, woods, forests are lungs of the planet; their destruction will add to climate change. Not possible to dictate to people where they live and how they travel to work. Where are the jobs anyway?
Schools and transport have to be considered. Three local schools, one taking children from out of catchment as is a faith school. Need to provide further educational facilities. Will add to traffic problems especially at peak times. Traffic already bad along Stoneleigh Road, A45 and A46. Additional traffic would result in chaos. New roads in the development won't ease situation and ultimately will flow onto existing roads and spill onto Green Lane itself.
Sceptical as to need for 33,500 new homes in Coventry. Should not be buidling to allow for increased immigration. Concerns for lost generation of school leavers, currently not earning or learning new skills. Perhaps birth rates will fall in future.
Housing that starts as affordable gains value in time. Will government decide new affordable homes will be needed. Too many people dealing with debt, repossession of property and loss of jobs. The answer is not to build new properties and certainly not on green belt land.
Options: Coventry Airport - loss of passenger flights, expansion of Birmingham Airport; surely Coventry no longer needs airport.
North Leamington Community School - Not in core strategy. Should be considered for Coventry overspill. 'Where development cannot be accommodated immediately to south of Coventry, it will be directed to closest urban area' - this means additional development on edge of Kenilworth and some on north side of Warwick and Leamington.
