    A patch of woodland looks likely to be uprooted for more houses: https://www.stratford-herald.com/112...-woodland.html

    Doesn't look good, does it?
    Of course it'll fit, you just need a bigger hammer.

    Environmental concerns seem to be forgotten when there's economic concerns or the council/councillors/political parties stand to benefit from the deal.

    The numbers don't stack up. We also need to review how our leaving the EU will affect numbers.

    The thing is, once we've lost the greenbelt land there is no recovery, we won't get it back.

    I've you've said somewhere before, Rebbonk, that houses could be being thrown just for the sake of keeping the building industry busy.

    I'll hazard a guess that this is a temporary halt to things because the housing market isn't at it's best (or won't be when these houses are ready for sale). My bet is that once all our current problems are behind us, this will rear its head again.

    High rise flats have been rejected in Coventry; could've been a different story if they were aimed at students!

    204 houses to be built near Bedworth. Building houses above old mine workings has caused a lot of problems in the Black Country: https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/ne...-plan-19763241

    The area is riddled with old mine workings. There are many unexplained clusters of cancer around the area, it's suspected caused by what went in the old mines before they were sealed. - No records, of course!
