Building on Greenbelt should be a final resort and used only when all other options both including re-use of "brownfield" sites are exhausted. The Greenbelt is a valuable resource for all, not just for those living adjacent to it.
The plan as set out represents a further step in the merging of Kenilworth, Leamington and Warwick into a single conurbation.
Whilst I believe the plan as currently set out is deeply flawed in many aspects ranging from its fundamental assumptions through to its final proposals I base my objections on two main points:
1. The plan proposes building on Greenbelt Land. Building on Greenbelt should be a final resort and used only when all other options both including re-use of "brownfield" sites are exhausted. The Greenbelt is a valuable resource for all, not just for those living adjacent to it.
2. The plan as set out represents a further step in the merging of Kenilworth, Leamington and Warwick into a single conurbation, a process that has happened by stealth and by design increasingly over the past 40 years. If the council want a single town to be established they should be honest and open about such a proposal. Otherwise the separation, particularly of Leamington and Kenilworth in this case must be maintained.
