Representation Summary:

700 dwellings is far too many. A significant smaller number of dwellings would enhance and help preserve the natural character, wildlife and value of a precious green corner of this lovely Midlands town. The proposed site is within the green belt area. The Grade II listed field is beginning to be harmed. Damson Parkway traffic has already been affected by JLR expansion, and a further 1400 cars would create more traffic and pollution,

Change suggested by respondent:

This site is precious green belt land that provides valued open space to the large local community. The site is already a problem area due to JLR commercial and employees traffic.
No building should take place here if this requires removing beautiful green belt pastures, and he overcrowding of the historic village of Catherine de Barnes, certainly not of the size of 700 dwellings. If building was to take place on this site the plan should be greatly reduced in size to protect the environment the site set well back from the existing Damson Parkway.
