Kings Hill site:
Concerned with the increased traffic associated with any development in the King's Hill Lane area of Finham. The roads around the area are already over capacity at peak time. In the morning peak there is queuing traffic from the bridge over the A46 junction onto Gibbets Hill Road, whilst in both morning and evening peaks there is queuing up St Martins Road to the roundabout by the BP garage (and subsequently on the A45). We believe any development in the Kings Hill Road will exacerbate these issues and increase the use of Baginton as a rat run from the Tollbar / Ryton direction. The Core Strategy document indicates that the infrastructure will be progressively developed in due course but our acceptance of it will depend on how you plan to cope with the increased traffic flows to Coventry, Kenilworth and the A46. At this stage of the consultation we must therefore object to the Finham proposals.

2. If this new Kings Hill estate is proposed to help out Coventry City, who argue that they do not have the space to build their housing allocation to 2026, then we would object to the whole development in Kings Hill Finham. Coventry should be made to use all their Green Belt before pressurising neighbouring authorities to bale them out by sacrificing theirs.

3.We are opposed to building on green belt when there are brownfield sites available but not utilised.
