Object to Old Milverton and Blackdown sites.
Loss of recreational space.
Status can only be changed in exceptional circumstances. There are other areas when the impact would not be as great.
Towns would lose their identities and communities would be lost.
I am writing to object strongly to the proposed development of green belt land in Old Milverton and Blackdown.
As a resident of Leamington Spa for the past 68 years I have always appreciated the open space, recreational and exercising facilities created by green belt land.
I always thought that when an area was granted Green Belt status it was illegal for this status to be changed except for very exceptional circumstances. Looking at the area of Leamington as a whole I am surprised that the council have not seen fit to look at different areas where the impact of additional housing would not be so great.
The proposal as it stands would result in the urbanisation of Leamington and Kenilworth, a move which would result in these two towns losing their individual identities. It would also result in the communities of Old Milverton and Blackdown being lost.
I strongly urge the Council to reconsider their planned proposal.
