* planners should be considering a more European approach to urban dwellings, with higher density of buildings containing high-quality flats with reasonably-sized rooms (as opposed to most being built currently which have ridiculously small rooms making them difficult to sell) They should also have pleasant balconies or communal courtyards/gardens (many people do not want the extra work involved in keeping their own gardens but would nevertheless like the use of space outdoors). The 'need' to use the Green Belt for building would be at the very least greatly reduced, if not removed completely. I do not believe either Coventry City Council or Warwick District Council have examined this option adequately. Coventry certainly seems to believe people do not want to buy houses in apartment buildings, but is arriving at this conclusion after having given planning permission for a style of apartment dwelling which is unlikely to be popular, and is as a result not considering the possibility of encouraging the building of more spacious flats with high-quality facilities and security.
