My own interpretation of the requirements is that consolidation of housing for future developments could best be achieved at the Westwood / Tile Hill end of the village where access to the Tile Hill station, shops, amenities and schools (all unavailable in Burton Green) is more readily available without he use of vehilces. The availibility of housing within closer proximity to Eon and National Rail Westwood may also help to reduce the significant rush hour congestion down Cromwell Lane (ref impact on traffic & highways). The statistical decline in 15 year olds within the village is purely down to lack of secondry school provision, with young families moving to fall within catchment areas for prefered schools. Since distance to schools is the primary factor in allocation of spaces, this should be of consideration in locating future development of the village as near as possible to local secondary schools and in particular those which are least oversubscribed.
I am trying not to be NIMBY and if, the local primary school is undersubscribed, then I submit that the preferred option one site is viable, and as such could be considered as a bridge between the primary school and the village. As such, it should be developed to include safe walking and cycling routes for children from all areas of the village to reach the school (the top of Red lane is currently very unsafe for both)
However this area should not be redeveloped as a new centre to the village i.e by moving village hall, as this could encourage ribbon development down Hob Lane & Red Lane which would not be beneficial to surrounding agricultural landscapes, hedgerow habitats & significant trees.
