Objects to development of the greenbelt at Old Milverton and Blackdown. The idea of the greenbelt is to prevent the expansion of housing and to guarantee areas of land that will never be developed into housing or other development types (eg factories). The additional infrastructure required to accomodate the increase in housing will place additional strain on existing infrastructure such as roads increasing danger to the population. This is not a circumstance which would justify altering the greenbelt, there are alternative sites not close to existing housing. Leamington will lose its character and natural beauty. The area should be maintained for use by nearby residents for recreational activities like running, cycling and walking.
In respect to the recent decision to develop from Greenbelt to housing the Old Milverton and Blackdown area I would like to strongly object to this proposal.
I have lived at 64 Leicester Lane since 2003 which is opposite the proposed site to develop, it has always been a Greenbelt designated site which I believe is critical to maintain as such. The whole idea of Greenbelt land is to prevent the expansion of housing and to gurantee areas of land that will never be developed into housing or other development types (eg factories). The proposed new infrastructure to accommodate the increase of housing proposed will put an additional strain on an existing infrastructure (eg road traffic) that will take it above acceptable levels increasing the dangers to the population, including my children.
Greenbelt should as per the Government standards only be altered in extreme circumstances, this is not one of those. There are other alternative sites that are not close to existing housing areas that could be used. This area of Leamington Spa will lose its character and natural beauty by this proposed development.
In addition this area is used by many people for recreational activities like running, cycling and walking. We need to maintain areas like this for the current nearby residents.
Please can you consider using an alternative site and leave Old Milverton and Blackdown as a Greenbelt area.
