On behalf of Bellway Homes, White Peak Planning co-ordinated an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for an outline planning application for up to 550 dwellings at land between Tamworth Road and Fivefield Road, Coventry.

The site is located north-west of Coventry City and is part of the Kerseley Sustainable Urban Extension as allocated within the Coventry Local Plan adopted in December 2017.

Due to the nature and scale of the development, an EIA Screening Opinion was required. The proposed development is Schedule 2 development, as it proposes over 150 dwellings and the site area exceeds 5 hectares. An EIA was therefore required to assess the likely potential significant cumulative effects to the environment.

White Peak have carefully managed the EIA process, from formal EIA scoping with Coventry City Council and the relevant technical consultants through to production of the Environmental Statement. We reviewed the various technical chapters and cross-referenced them to ensure accuracy and consistency.

The application was submitted in December 2018 and outline planning permission was granted in 2022.
