Coventry is a city of historic and modern contrasts, with areas like the city centre, Foleshill, and Earlsdon. Famous for the Cathedral, manufacturing history, and the Motor Industry, about 15% of the district is Green Belt, shaping development on the outskirts. Planning focuses on urban regeneration, extensions, and conversions. We can support residential and commercial projects across Coventry.
In the last year Coventry decided 1,226 applications which is well above the national average of 988. The approval rate was 86% (roughly equal to the national average of 88%) and 89% of applications were decided on time, (significantly above the national average of 59%). Stats updated March 2026 from gov. sources. See how Coventry performs relative to other LPAs in our LPA hub.
The Green Belt is nationally designated land around towns and cities, created to limit urban growth.
15.0% of Coventry is within the Green Belt and proposals in these areas can be subject to high levels of scrutiny.
The Coventry Green Belt preserves farmland, river corridors, and villages such as Baginton and Allesley, vulnerable to urban sprawl.
In our experience, one of the top reasons poorly conceived Green Belt proposals are refused is causing 'harm to openness'. We can lower the risk of refusal with site-specific guidance. Contact us here.
