In response to the SWLP consultation I would like you to take my thoughts into consideration


1) I am very strongly against any further development on the greenbelt. There are a large number of options for development in the greenbelt that have currently been put forward and would be available for development if needed, so certainly no new developments are required! the greenbelt is essential to be respected, to keep the integrity of our unique villages etc and for the mental wellbeing of people to have green spaces easily accessible. We need land for food production, more now than ever in this unsafe world, we should be as self reliant as possible and not have to rely on imports from other countries.

2) In planning terms HS2 forms a hard landscape feature, and permanent solid barrier to the north of Leamington. Therefore it is important that development in the greenbelt does not extend over this barrier as it will result in rapid erosion of the greenbelt between Leamington and Coventry, which is already heavily under pressure. The HS2 route should form the northernmost boundary of the priority area to the North of Leamington.
