This area is important to the setting of the town and developing it would reduce opportunities for recreation. It provide importnat gren space between towns - acts as a break to sprawl of the built envronment.
More appropriate brownfield sites could be used such Old Ford Foundry where housing would be a better than a large supermarket.
I write to express strong objection to the plans to build on Green Belt land near Old Milverton and Blackdown.
I was brought up in this part of Leamington and used and enjoyed the local rural environment throughout my childhood until I left the area to study. Although now resident in London, I visit frequently to share the same space and experiences with my own children and their grandparents who still live in the same house.
It seems highly irresponsible to even consider spoiling a part of this historic town, eroding the green space between Leamington and Kenilworth, as well as vastly reducing opportunities for residents and their visitors to use the space for recreation and exercise when existing Brown Field sites could be used. (Dont think the area really needs a huge bottom-of-the-range supermarket on the old Ford Foundry for example. Surely that would have been ideal for housing close to both station and motorway)
I urge you to look harder at finding areas NOT in the Green Belt that can be used.
