Ymatebydd: Finham Parish Council

We are aware Kings Hill has already received Outline Planning Permission, has been carried over to the new plan, and is not part of this consultation. However we are re-iterating our desires for the site and hope you can consider the below.

1) No bus gate on Green Lane immediately next to Finham Primary School. This would increase traffic congestion and accident risk.
2) No roundabout at junction of Green Lane/Howes Lane. This would encroach on what little greenery will be left and allows insufficient room for large lorries.
3) Preserve our ancient hedgerows along the south end of Green Lane.
4) Preserve our trees along Green Lane especially those with Tree Preservation Orders.
5) Provide a green corridor along Green Lane, particularly around the back of the primary school to contribute to the biodiversity requirements of the site.
6) Preserve the Anglo-Saxon remains close to the Kings Hill Lane/Green Lane junction.
7) New children’s play area as close to Finham as possible, ideally on site of the proposed bus gate.
8) Ensure the promised Primary and Senior schools will be built early in the building phase to avoid stretching the resources of current local schools.
9) Ensure the promised clinic will be built during the first phase of building.
10) Provide commitment for a new Community Centre building.

Finham is the most affected area by housing development on Kings Hill and therefore the FPC should be kept informed of all developments, changes and proposals that will affect Finham residents. FPC would like an update on the progress of CIL discussions between yourselves, the developers and Coventry City Council and would hope to influence spend.
