Object to site for Coventry overspill at Kings Hill:
Loss of green belt between Coventry and Kenilworth. Acts as lung between towns and in area of natural beauty.
Do not object to a few houses being built south side of Green Lane South, but do object to thousands which are being considered. Amount of people and vehicles drawn into area would put strain on exisiting services which are not up to scratch anyway.
Sewerage - will Severn Trent cope with increased volume? Has anyone asked them?
Crematorium - proposal for additional has already been successfully objected to by residents of Green Lane.
Schools - Finham Junior School already successfully objected to proposed expansion of their school and will do so again. Finham Park School is just about to be rebuilt to accommodate current applications. Will it have capacity for increase?
Public transportation - current bus provision is poor and additional dwellings would be unbearable load. West Midlands Transport have had to be bullied by the local residents just to get poor service.
How will loss of farmland sit with DEFRA? If British farmers to produce more food, how will this be achieved if land is built on?
Loss of employment for people with learning disability at Leasowes Nursery. Since closure of Remploy, employment opportunities for this section of public is greatly reduced already, without taking these places too.
3,000 dwellings means 6,000 more cars which means increased pollution. Whatever green space is left will contain polluted air.
No mention of school provision in strategy when children are being encouraged to walk to school, cycle or use public transport. Children from new community will be likely to need to be driven to school.
Who will offer employment when Coventry has been in decline for years before current recession? There are offices in the city centre that have never been fully occupied and at Westwood Heath the same in a rural setting.
Area covered by PCSOs recently revised to reduce officer numbers. Dwellings at Kings Hill will mean an increase in officers needed.
Development has no benefit to local community. No mention of medical facilities, shops, schools and there will probably be few green spaces as they try to cram dwellings in.
Will be removing an area people use for walks and horse riding when government is encouraging people to become more active.
