The South Warwickshire Local Plan, provided by the planning department, clearly shows that there are sufficient non greenfield sites available to accommodate the developments required.
The government has stated that Greenbelt should only be considered where there are exceptional circumstances, as this is not the case, all greenbelt sites should be withdrawn from the SWLP. (see below)
“ The 2018 revisions to the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) added the requirement, unchanged in the 2019 update, that exceptional circumstances should be "fully evidenced and justified, through the preparation or updating of plans". It states that, before green belt boundaries are redrawn, an authority must demonstrate that it has "examined all other reasonable options for meeting its identified need for development", including making use of brownfield land, increasing the density of existing settlements and exploring whether neighbouring authorities can help meet its needs.”
Coventry Council only allowed non-Greenbelt land to be put forward in their call for sites. They want to protect the land for future generations, I would like Warwick to do the same.

To make Warwick District a great place to live, work and visit by improving lives and our environment."
Do you honestly believe building unnecessary on Greenbelt land supports this strategy?
