Object to Kings Hill site:
Green belt land will be destroyed - objectives are: protect natural or semi natural environments; improve air quality within urban areas; ensure that urban dwellers have access to countryside with consequent educational and recreational opportunities and protect the unique character of rural communities which might otherwise be absorbed by expanding suburbs.
Green belt has many benefits: walking, camping, and biking areas close to cities and towns; habitat for wild plants, animal and wildlife; cleaner air and water; better land use of areas bordering cities.
Access: Finham and surrounding area has approx 2000 homes. Traffic at peak times unbearable with slow moving traffic on largest of roads. Almost all roads into and out of Finham are small or rural with parked cars lining one side making single lane for passing traffic. A primary and secondary school are located on Green Lane with resulting traffic ar certain times of day and making surrounding streets severely congested. Additional traffic would be serious danger to school children.
Precedent: Allowing development or building on the green belt would allow similar decision to be made on protected green belt areas. Will be gradual but definite erosion of irreplaceable resource.
Environment: At a time when world focussed on saving precious resources, WDC or Coventry will be communicating to the world its policy on the environment is to destroy, not maintain, decreasing resources such as these.
