The specific areas I object to are, the housing proposals on:

1) Land at Lower Heathcote Farm, south of Harbury Lane

And also:

2) Land South of Sydenham and east of Whitnash
3) Land at Woodside Farm, north of Harbury Lane, Whitnash
4) Land west of Europa Way, Warwick

My objections are based on the following:
Q2. Why have you reserved land at Finham for the Use of Coventry to meet their housing demands and to count towards satisfying their quota and not included this area as a potential for ameliorating the demands place on WDC?

Q3. Why isn't the brownfield site where the Puegot plant was located being considered for housing development?

Q4. Why isn't all housing demand placed upon the region not being centred around Coventry? Here is a city that badly needs an influx of new workers to the region, development of employment opportunities, retail centres and urban regeneration if Coventry is to emerge as a 21st century City. Why are new developments instead being concentrated around the rural and medieval towns and villages of Warwickshire?

I do believe that some housing may be needed for organic growth within individual communities; however, I feel this should be decided at a local level with the support of the local people. I urge you to rethink the Options radically; and focus imaginative thinking on leading the region in the regeneration of brownfield sites.
