Object to Kings Hill site:
Current transport links to centre of Coventry and University of Warwick insufficient to cope with volume of traffic during peak hours. More dwellings would reduce transport network to gridlock. Massive expansion of road network needed on Stoneleigh Road, Green Lane, St Martin's Road, Leamington Road and A45.
Current physical state of Coventry roads appalling - situation would worsen.
Schools - Finham Park designed for 1000 pupils, already 1500. New school needed before new housing developed or children will have to be bussed to Kenilworth. Grid lock around existing schools and Stoneleigh Road after 8am in the morning, no options viable.
Type of housing - As would be in Warwick District would 40% affordable apply? Coventry is 25% but wants luxury housing, therefore Coventry standard should apply as residents will be using Coventry infrastructure and there is no shortage of affordable housing in Coventry.
South Coventry short of shops and other local amenities meaning residents have to travel to centre of Coventy or supermarkets. Introduce a new Finham High Street - could this be demanded of developer?
If development goes ahead, would make sense to conduct boundary review and place land within Coventry City.
Kings Hill is spot of real natural beauty that cannot be ignored - don't take that away.
