BASE HEADER

As I do not believe that WDC has demonstrated the 'exceptional circumstances' necessary to build on green belt land when other non-green belt land is available, the plan suggested must not go ahead. It would set a very worrying precedent which could see Leamington and Kenilworth edge ever closer to each other.
Any idea of sharing out available land for development purposes whether that land is green belt or not must be resisted to allow Leamington to preserve its unique character as a town surrounded by green.
This current plan smacks worryingly of the present government's ideas about preserving areas of special natural beauty. This sounds wonderful until one understands the subtext; most of the countryside is not ESPECIALLY beautiful and is therefore up for development. Let WDC not slide into this slipshod thinking. The countryside to which most of us have access is very precious even if it is not of outstanding natural beauty.
Houses are clearly necessary but please ensure that they are built where infrastructure already exists and where they will not cause Leamington to encroach on precious green belt.
One last thought:
Please do ensure that any houses built are of size, quality and price for those who require housing and not of a type designed to give developers hefty profits.
