Housing capacity of growth villages is greater than the plan allows for and in particular the growth villages close to Coventry can play a greater role in meeting Coventry's needs. The present broad distribution is not the most effective and means there a risks to the delivery of homes over the Plan period. The plan assumes that the allocations in Burton Green and Baginton will deliver new homes in the first 5 years, but beyond 2020/21 the plan does not envisage further development in these villages. The delivery rate for Burrow Hill nursery conflicts with the position in 2015 when it was anticipated the site would not complete until 2026/7 due to HS2. The delivery assumptions show that in 2020/21 the 4 sites closest to Coventry will deliver 355dpa, but after that only 200 dpa from Kings Hill will be achieved, giving an annual shortfall of 227 dpa for Coventry's part of the need. The plan is therefore deficient in providing sites for the demand for new homes for the City. Further it relies on Westwood Heath and Kings Hill being brought forward quickly - previous experience shows this cannot be relied on. Further capacity in growth villages close to Coventry therefore needs to be provided, particularly where these are readily available and deliverable.
