Ymatebydd: Burton Green Residents' Association
A sensible level of funding for small rural schools should be maintained.
The main concerns of residents are that the green belt should be retained, particularly between Coventry and kenilworth; only limited infill housing should be allowed to meet the needs of first time buyers and people wishing to downsize; public transport links to Kenilworth should not be reduced and a sensible level of funding for small rural schools should be maintained.
HS2 has blighted housing values and the construction process will affect village life, a site for a new village hall may have to be found as a consequence. Some houses in the Burton Green locality may have to be demolished and there should be consideration of a means to re-house them in the immediate locality.

Ymatebydd: Offchurch Plan Implementation Group
Detailed data on health and general services are available in the Offchurch Plan. In relation to schools, it should be noted that childrent from Offchurch attend 12 different schools, which in some cases involves difficult tranport arrangements for families. There is a danger that Offchurch could be seen on the margins of catchment areas for schools and health etc.
Therefore the accessibility of facilities and services is as important as their size and condition, especially if further services are centralised.
The Offchurch Plan data showed that the village is divided between those who would support low housing growth (Scenario 1) and those who would like some new housing to respond to a need for both the young and the elderly to be able to stay in the village.
