The Greenbelt

The Greenbelt is an area of open countryside surrounding the city of Coventry. In 2009 several parts of the greenbelt, Keresley, Ash Green and King's Hill were threatened with housebuilding on a massive scale plus some smaller areas bordering the Greenbelt.

With the change in government and the City Council this threat has now receeded. In the latest Core Strategy proposals by the City Council the strength of feeling against the house building has been recognised with the statement that no new house building should take place on Greenbelt land within Coventry.
