We support the Council’s approach to undertaking a Green Belt review as an integral part of the evidence base underpinning the SWLP.
We do however object to any sequential approach to Green Belt release, where this seeks to allocate non-Green Belt sites before considering Green Belt release. This is a wholly inappropriate approach, it does not in accordance with the NPPF which has no such sequential approach to Green Belt release, and risks bringing forward a plan which is not founded on robust broader sustainability principles. For example, applying a sequential approach would close off significant parts of the main towns of Stratford, Warwick, Leamington Spa and Kenilworth. It would also make addressing the duty to co-operate far more difficult since a sequential approach would effectively push any housing requirements meeting the two HMA’s further south away from the HMA areas which housing is intended to serve.
