no exceptional circumstances to justifying removing the green belt status as per NPPF. 2nd lowest housing yeild of all the growth areas, would in effect merge kenilworth and leek wootton, loss of productive farmland, not a 20 minute neighbourhood (study on bus travel incorrect, is accounting for school and pre-pay bus services, not public bus), infrastructure (schools, GP's and dentists already oversubscribed with no plan to accomodate increase in population), foul drainange alreay inadequate, local employment opps limited, adverse effect on public footpaths, negative impact on heritage site (castle), loss of biodiversity, existing roads already congested.

SG04 contains vital rural land providing significant contribution to the green belt status of this area. Releasing its green belt status would be of detriment to the wider area given its connection to the Millenium Way, Kenilworth Castle as well as the local eco system.
Access from Rounds Hill (between 19 & 19A) would not be suitable as Rounds Hill is already a congested road with high traffic volume (often speeding traffic bypassing Kenilworth town centre) and increasing traffic of any sort here would not be responsible.
