The land at Baginton offers an exceptional opportunity to link housing to the employment growth proposed at the Warwick Gateway site and located on the periphery of Coventry City/CWLEP North South Corridor.

The site at Baginton/Coventry Gateway should be recognised by the Council as a sustainable site adjacent to the urban area and large-scale employment. It could accommodate a significant proportion of housing that would contribute towards the growth of Coventry and support the Gateway scheme, ensuring compliance with the NPPF in relation to the duty to cooperate, and should be allocated within the Local Plan.

Extensive technical assessments have been undertaken for
the site in relation to flood risk, noise, ecology, conservation and heritage and landscape, which have previously been submitted to the Council. These reports demonstrate that the site is suitable for a significant residential-led development either in isolation or in connection with proposals for the wider area.

While it is acknowledged that the site is within the Green Belt, the site contains no constraints that preclude development on the site.

The 2014 SHLAA maintains that there are noise and odour constraints, however, the Council has never presented RPS with any evidence that these exist. Conversely, RPS has provided evidence that they do not exist.

It is therefore concluded that the site is entirely suitable as defined for development in the promotional document appended.
