Coventry’s Planning Committee rejected the proposed housing development at the former E.ON headquarters at Westwood Business Park, with cross-party support for the refusal. Cllr Mattie Heaven and Cllr Pratibha Reddy spoke alongside residents, raising concerns about the loss of employment land and the proposed vehicle access through Ten Shilling Drive. A residents’ petition opposing the application attracted 96 signatures. In its response to Coventry’s Local Plan consultation, the Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce highlighted an employment land shortfall of at least 57.23 hectares and stated: “We ask that the Westwood Business Park be ‘repurposed’ for other employment use.” Commenting on the decision, Cllr John Blundell said: “The application raised questions about employment land and access arrangements. With Coventry facing a significant shortfall in employment land, protecting existing sites is important to support businesses and jobs alongside the city’s housing needs.

Campaigners are delighted that councillors put a stop to the use of prime employment land for a new housing estate

Five years ago today, Sir David Amess was murdered while doing what he had done for almost 40 years: serving the people who elected him.

He never stopped showing up for them. On the day his life was taken, he was there once again, listening and helping, just as he always had.

Today we remember a much-loved colleague and friend. Above all, our thoughts are with his wife and children, who carry his loss every day.
