Draft Local Plan - Supplementary Consultation
Representation ID: 7529
Received: 11/03/2019
Respondent: Mr Kevin Thomas
Site selection process fundamentally flawed due to:
1. A failure to consider the aggregate impact and loss of green belt amenity from additional Coventry build and HS2.
2. Selection of greenfield sites in preference to a number of brownfield sites
3. Insufficient weight given to the poor transport links in the Balsall Common area
4. The rationale for the excessive burden of development for Balsall Common is not given (1690 new homes vs 3900 existing) when only 900 homes ( vs 8000 existing) are proposed for Knowle, Dorridge and Bentley Heath.
