We wish to object to the proposed plan to develop farmland at Old Milverton.

This development, including the road will take 40% of our farm and therefore a good percentage of our livlihood with negligable compensation since we aren't the land owners. There is little chance we can rent more land locally to replace the loss and we will have dependent children for some time to come. We have put our lives into this farm and we can show you figures to prove that the fields in question are the most productive on the farm! There is only a narrow green belt of land between Kenilworth and Leamington as it is. This development will alter the dynamic between the two towns.

Surely it would be more sensible to spread the development around the district rather than build these massive developments either side of Leamington. I don't see that this enhances our local community, rather it increases an unwelcome urban sprawl.
