Object to Kings Hill site:
Loss of green belt land and wildlife Precious little green open space inside Coventry now, taking green belt from around the city would reduce 'lungs' and diminish air quality. There are ancient hedgerows dating back to 1500 on land. Along with loss of green belt and agricultural land, there is loss of wildlife. Continuous loss of habitat is pushing too many species to extinction and the eco-balance is further upset.
Loss of farm land - food prices rising and world food crisis. Our food has to be imported , even that traditionally grown here, as production capacity per head of population is extremely low, yet we have some of the best farmland in the world. Land is built on and farmers paid minimum prices. Brown field sites can be reused but once greenbelt/farmland built on, it cannot be recovered.
