A 46.
This is runs the entire length of the south east of Kings Hill and is already a very noticeable source of noise and exhaust pollution. It has been officially identified as being overburdened along this stretch. The certain new major interchange at the north east end of Coventry airport (Toll Bar) will without doubt increase the traffic further and increase the problem of the bottleneck at the roundabout on the south east of Finham.
The Highways agency has filed its concerns that developing kings Hill will have devastating effects further south on the A46.
The inevitable and hugely expensive road infrastructure associated outside the immediate site will inevitably and substantially increase both noise and air pollution.

TRAFFIC/ROADS
Immediately to NW is Finham and area which was designed as an integrated development cannot take any more traffic. Its roads are likely to become rat runs to any development on Kings Hill even if traffic is majorly diverted from this area.
To the south west, and through the site, are the minor roads connecting the area to Crackley Heath, Gibbets Hill, Kenilworth, Stoneleigh and all. These will require hugely expensive major upgrades. There will be extra road lanes, interchanges and no doubt the occasional overpass necessary. (The Toll Bar interchange on the north of Coventry Airport is reported as will be costing #100,000 on present estimates.)
Kenilworth road, Fletchamstead, Kempas Highway and all are already officially reported as overloaded and accident reports are frequent.
Access to Coventry's main areas of recreation, shopping, employment, motorways, main airports, Rugby, Birmingham, the Ricoh Centre, main distribution centers and all to the north will be unsatisfactory and difficult.
Warwick University has addressed much concerning access roads to its site in its exemplary planning application. On a brief study, the effects associated with a large development on Kings Hill become very clear.
The Highway Agency have also registered avid concern on the adverse effects of a major development on Kings Hill especially on routes towards the south.


In the plans published by Severn Trent in its review for the sewerage and water supply for Coventry, as found on Coventry's website, this well is not included
The Environment Agency is well on its crusade to stopping the building of culverts. The Finham and Waverly Bridges will be under threat (it is not known at this time if they are scheduled). Also The Agency has announced serious concern as to the effect as to river quality and overburden downstream. As mentioned the amount of water to be carried of the proposed site will be more than just considerable.
