The substantial additional quantum arising from the City of Coventry's requirement is of considerable concern, before the Transport Evidence underlying the submitted Plan had even been examined.

Many of the localised impacts of the Westwood Heath and Kings Hill proposed allocations will arise, no doubt, outside the District within the City of Coventry. It is rather unclear to us how far existing Transport plans and strategies within the City currently facilitate a cross-boundary approach to mitigating impact

Any Park and Ride provision can only be effective if buses are not subject to congestion on the routes into the town centres. Without effective and comprehensive bus advantage, there will be virtually no obvious reason to use the P+R provision at all.

Stagecoach supports the provision of the Park and Ride at North of Milverton (H44)

The optimum location of the facility is something that Stagecoach would want to see examined further.

Stagecoach generally supports bus service infrastructure necessary to support new development as identified in the Infrastructure Delivery Plan.
Some of the comments relate to detailed design consideration which would need to be considered at the reserved matters stage

Stagecoach supports the proposed modification allocating this site.
This site is likely to represent among the best choices when all reasonable options are considered. Proximity to the Gateway site, JLR Whitley and the University/Westwood, and potential connectivity towards such development that might occur at Stoneleigh represents a location advantage that suggests sustainable modes.

A great deal of work to be done to ensure that the transport and traffic impacts of this development, both within the Plan period and beyond, are appropriately provided for.

Effective provision will need to be made cross-boundary,

Stagecoach supports the proposed modification allocating this site.

It is realistic to conclude that a sufficiently frequent service could be provided linking the sites south and east of Kenilworth to Coventry and Leamington, to be both commercially sustainable and a reasonable alternative to personal car use

Stagecoach objects to the allocation of this site as part of the Modifications

The proposed allocation is of entirely insufficient scale to anchor a critical mass of demand sufficient to sustain sufficient patronage to be sustainable

Stagecoach supports the Proposed Modification allocating this site.

The evidence makes clear, this site benefits from being well located with respect to employment and services in Warwick and Leamington on the one hand, and Coventry on the other.

Stagecoach would add that the site would both deliver, and be able to take advantage of, the Park and Ride facility, and associated comprehensive improvements to the A452, including bus priority.

This is a highly credible location for the "virtual Park and Ride" concept to be delivered, which needs no reliance on a bespoke bus service

This land stretches away from existing bus service and facilities, that are already relatively distant, by unnecessarily extending the built up area in a lobate form.
