OBJECTION:
Land Northwest of M40 Junction 15 Commercial / Industrial Site (ID 44)

Warwick, a historic town in England, is subject to various planning policies aimed at preserving its character and preventing urban sprawl. This plan to develop a large Industrial / Commercial site in the Green Belt on the edge of Warwick and within view of the town, a busy dual carriageway and surrounding villages would appear to conflict with this and would not protect Warwick's historic character and maintain its openness by controlling development and preventing sprawl.
Warwick, a town of significant historical value, is governed by a range of planning policies designed to protect its character. These policies are essential for maintaining the town’s distinctiveness and ensuring that its unique heritage remains safeguarded for future generations.
However, the proposed development on the edge of Warwick is in direct conflict with these protective measures. Such a development would inevitably lead to the erosion of Warwick's historic landscape, blurring the boundaries between the town and surrounding areas. It would compromise the openness of the town, a quality that has long defined its charm and visual integrity.
In addition, the development would disrupt the carefully planned control over sprawl that has been established to protect the town’s setting. By permitting this large-scale g project, we risk undermining the principles that keep Warwick distinct, potentially triggering further urban encroachment. This would not only damage the town’s unique heritage but also diminish its appeal as a historic gem.
