Dear Sir

Following the consultation meeting at Old Milverton I would like to make the following points:

Why are even thinking of putting this development on Greenbelt land when other Brown and White field sites have not been properly investigated?

Old Milverton and Blackdown do not have the infrastructure for a development of this nature and it would extremely costly and disruptive to put this in place.

Much infrastructure is already in place south of the town.

Employment is mainly south of Leamington and practically none in the area where you are planning to build.

People's views should be heard - I hope you are going to listen to them and not present people with a fait accompli.

Why are you making these changes to the 2009 Core Strategy, which was carefully thought out, in contrast to these recent ideas which appear to lack any imagination or appreciation of this lovely natural area of countryside, which is a fitting divide between Leamington Spa, Old Milverton and Kenilworth. This is something that should not be lost for ever.

I do hope you will listen to the people you represent - you have a duty to do so.

Thank you.

Yours faithfully

Jill Wiglesworth
