I am writing to object to the new local plan and the proposal to build on "green belt" in the north of Leamington Spa.

My objections are because of

* Loss of local amenity - we live near the cricket pitch and use the green space regularly - often sitting and watching the cricket. The pitch is used regularly with many children participating. Encouraging the young to participate in sports needs to be high on the priorities of both local and national government.
* I disagree with development on green belt land - that is what makes Leamington so special. One of our favourite walks, particularly in winter is to stroll over the field behind Northumberland Road over to Old Milverton and to take have well earned refreshments in Saxon Mill. Green Belt land should mean just that - it's a protection from Urban spoil.
* The level of housing provision seems huge for the amount of land to be developed on
* Traffic and Infrastructure - the current infrastructure struggles already and is not appropriate to cope with any more pressure. The effect of the proposed North Leamington Relief Road would have severe damaging results on Old Milverton
*
I do hope these plans do not go ahead
