The local plan for H42 is not sound as fails to address the increased road traffic as a result of an additional housing development in the area. Significant and potentially cost prohibitive developments would need to take place to the surrounding road systems of westwood heath road, Cromwell lane, charter avenue, sir henry parks road, Bockenden Road, Station Avenue, Gibbet Hill Road, Kirby Corner Road, the area surrounding Cannon Park and Canley junction of the Coventry A45 Fletchamstead Highway to allow for increased numbers of vehicles. Many of the impacted roads have seen recent high cost improvements to cope with existing traffic flows. The compounded effect of the new ALDI supermarket, construction traffic for HS2, increased local residencies will cause major congestion in the area at peak times resulting in significant delays to the major roads such as A45.
The roads required for improvement to accommodate additional traffic from the proposed development are restricted by existing housing and development making sufficient improvements to them to increase traffic flow extremely unlikely, add to the very limited viability of adding a development at H42.
