THE CORRIDOR
A rough and notional corridor drawn by Coventry, Nuneaton/Bedworth and Warwick runs north to south through their areas. The object of this was to identify areas which are suitable for housing and employment use to be put forward to their core strategies. To apply this rigidly seems flawed and impractical in that the substantial area of the new Ansty Business Park , the existing Rolls Royce works and the Peugeot works, are both to the east of Coventry's boundary in Rugby's jurisdiction. The Ansty Business Park is about to embark on the second of its three phases of development.
To apply this theoretical strict corridor solely to housing omitting Coventry's employment land targets is flawed in practical terms. Especially in respect of suitable alternative housing sites immediately cross border in Rugby District.
Coventry has stated in a publically published document to the Coventry Scrutiny Board 3, Scrutiny Co-ordination Committee and City Cabinet dated 24th and 29th June 2009 (ref.page 3,#3.10) that Warwick is obliged to find land - ie Kings Hill - to satisfy Coventry's developable land shortage. This is not specifically the case.
