You are correct, Lex. I knew that pre-owned empty properties were subjected to this, but wasn't aware of new builds. - You learn something every day!

500 homes for Stratford's 'Canal Quarter'; 'Packed in like sardines' comes to mind: https://stratfordobserver.co.uk/news/work-begins-on-canal-quarter-regeneration-zone/

Not the best of ideas, is it? Schemes like this have come adrift before, I hope this one doesn't.

Well, that's Bedworth absorbed into Coventry: https://coventryobserver.co.uk/news/outline-planning-granted-for-115-million-hawkesbury-canal-village-which-will-bedworth-to-coventry/

Claims that estimated increases in Coventry's population are flawed: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-coventry-warwickshire-62042981

When houses are thrown up en masse, and in a rush, quality's bound to suffer: https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/local-news/riddled-faults-freezing-cold-say-25685706

Plans for the 1700 homes in Nuneaton: https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/local-news/new-map-shows-layout-giant-26326881

That is a lot of housing! I hope the supporting infrastructure is provided.

No chance!

A development at Warwickshire Police HQ has been kicked out: https://stratfordobserver.co.uk/news/plans-for-homes-at-warwickshire-police-hq-thrown-out-again/

The developer will have to increase its 'donation' to council funds.

God knows where the 10,200 homes for Stratford figure has come from; the population of the district can't be much below 135,000 now, let alone 2040: https://stratfordobserver.co.uk/news/stratford-district-will-need-more-than-1000-new-homes-for-growing-population-49466/

A former convent near Rugby is up for sale, with a view to being converted into 4 flats. This sounds like a effort to maximise profit, rather than providing decent housing: https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/local-news/gallery/former-warwickshire-convent-plans-turn-29700725
