Object to Kings Hill site:
Green belt land benefits people - leisure, habitats, cleaner air and water, better use of land bordering cities.
Access - Traffic currently unbearable with slow moving traffic on A45 at peak times.
Almost all roads in and out of Finham small or rural with parked cars lining one side and congested further at school times.
Precedent - allowing green belt land to be developed will allow similar decisions to be made regarding other green belt sites.
Environment - When world focussed on saving precious resources WDC or Coventry destroying not maintaining.

Objects to development at Kings Hill which will have a devastating impact on the countryside and wildlife some of which are protected species. The area is already prone to flooding and despite remediation work water can be seen backing out of drains during times of rainfall. The development will not aid the creation of well paid jobs, but instead residents will have to commute for employment . The road structure is already gridlocked with school traffic and commuting to Warwick University and is inadequate to support the development of additional housing. School demand already exceeds capacity and more housing will take that to breakpoint and increase traffic. Former factories in Coventry should be used first to bring much needed regeneration.

Object to Kings Hill site:
Roads are already dangerously busy and grid-locked during peak times and development would make worse.
Insufficient facilities and services to accommodate extremely large number of people would inhabit new houses, such as schools, shops, doctors, dentists and public transport.
Not enough jobs in area for existing residents.
Finham is one of more desirable areas to live in Coventry on the edge of countryside - thousands more homes will have detrimental effect.

Objects to development at Kings Hill which will destroy the countryside resulting in the loss of farmland and wildlife. It will increase already congested traffic and result in further pollution. The infrastructure and services are not in place to accomodate an increase in population. It is an area of significant beauty providing the necessary gap between the City and Kenilworth.

Loss of green belt and wild life habitats - badgers, foxes, bats, dragon flies.

WDC has not made contact to inform resident of this housing development.
Hope powers that be look for brown field site. Coventry has many areas where rejuvenation is badly needed.

Mistake to put all development in one area. Will change character of that part of the town. Development should be spread more equally around the town. This would help the existing infrastructure to absorb new developments.

Roads already congested, particularly A45 and A46, both of which are already busy routes.

Ymatebydd: Mr & Mrs John & Margaret Pyner

Object to Kings Hill site:
Area could not cope with extra traffic. Queues to St Martins Road roundabout in conflict with A45 Green Lane traffic now - can only get worse. Traffic queuing further back would may encroach on school traffic adding safety risks. New roads may shift traffic onto Green Lane as a rat run if people try to take shorter route. Road only takes one lane of traffic now due to parking - significant hazard especially to children with cars mounting pavement to get past. Will Green Lane be widened if development takes place?
Increase in number of people will put significant pressure on local services; schools, shops, GP surgery, dental surgery and public transport.
Why need for large amount of dwellings? Lack of demonstrable requirement. We are in a downturn. No prospect of jobs returning to Coventry.
Loss of green belt. Does not look to the future when we need green space and farming land to grow enough food. Not been clearly demonstrated that all brown field land utilised. Green space to south of city special and gives some division between Coventry and Kenilworth.
Lack of public consultation with members of Finham area. Unhealthy, unbalanced allocation of majority of housing to Coventry conurbation, compared to Warwick and Solihull areas.
Not protecting sports facilites and securing open space if building on Alvis sports site in Green Lane.
Moving to semi-rural setting which Green Lane was but large develoment will erode.

Ymatebydd: Mrs Joyce A Green

Object to Kings Hill site:
Essential green belt areas maintained. Natural habitat for wildlife. Green areas, woods, forests are lungs of the planet; their destruction will add to climate change. Not possible to dictate to people where they live and how they travel to work. Where are the jobs anyway?
Schools and transport have to be considered. Three local schools, one taking children from out of catchment as is a faith school. Need to provide further educational facilities. Will add to traffic problems especially at peak times. Traffic already bad along Stoneleigh Road, A45 and A46. Additional traffic would result in chaos. New roads in the development won't ease situation and ultimately will flow onto existing roads and spill onto Green Lane itself.
Sceptical as to need for 33,500 new homes in Coventry. Should not be buidling to allow for increased immigration. Concerns for lost generation of school leavers, currently not earning or learning new skills. Perhaps birth rates will fall in future.
Housing that starts as affordable gains value in time. Will government decide new affordable homes will be needed. Too many people dealing with debt, repossession of property and loss of jobs. The answer is not to build new properties and certainly not on green belt land.
Options: Coventry Airport - loss of passenger flights, expansion of Birmingham Airport; surely Coventry no longer needs airport.
North Leamington Community School - Not in core strategy. Should be considered for Coventry overspill. 'Where development cannot be accommodated immediately to south of Coventry, it will be directed to closest urban area' - this means additional development on edge of Kenilworth and some on north side of Warwick and Leamington.

Object to Kings Hill site:
Loss of green belt and good farming land and will destroy all wildlife.
Would bring further traffic congestion into congested area - Stoneleigh Road and Green Lane. Green Lane not wide and cars and buses struggle to get past schools and shops due to parking. Also used as short cut from Festival Island to Kenilworth Road traffic lights on A45 to avoid queues on Kenpas Highway.
Schools on Green Lane won't be able to cope with more children.
Not enough local amenities - shops, GP surgeries, dental surgeries, church, post office, fast food outlets, public transport, pubs.
Is adult population going to grow enough to justify 3500 homes? Currently hundreds of houses for sale or rent in Coventry area. Can't imagine influx of people as no jobs, not even a passenger airport.
