BASE HEADER

In my view the projected housing numbers are based on a mathematical model, the premises of which are now completely out of date, given the present recession. I doubt myself whether Warwick, or any other part of the UK is going to see economic growth over the next 10 years which in any way would approach that of the last 10.
My suggestion is, therefore that WDC should withdraw this consultation and produce another plan based strictly on natural population growth, but limited to what new housing can be accommodated without encroaching on the Green Belt. WDC has often said that it wishes to preserve the character of the District. A necessary condition for that is that the Green Belt is maintained. I expect that my view will be shared by many others
