There appears to be some considerable confusion as to which land has and has not been designated for future housing development.
Warwick District Council as obliged by the government drew up a plan to identify possible areas of land within the district to meet future housing needs, As well as areas around Warwick and Leamington this identified a track of land south of Coventry in the Kings Hill Area. At this stage other possible sites including some in the Baginton area close to the airport were considered and rejected. These proposals then went out for public consultation. As part of this consultation it was possible to suggest alternatives to the areas Warwick District Council was proposing. This prompted a rash of landowners suggesting their land as possible alternatives - building land is worth a lot more than farming land. Some of these landowners coming forward are in the Baginton Area in the vicinity of the airport. These alternatives are now out for consultation over the next 6 weeks. Given that these areas have already been rejected by the district council, and that the Baginton parish council vigorously objected to a set of traffic lights in the proposed area as urbanisation, the chances of these pieces of land finishing up in the areas that are eventually designated as housing land is remote.
