The Green Belt should be preserved to avoid encroachment between Leamington and Kenilworth. The area is used for recreation and its loss would detrimental impact to amenity value of land.
Sites identified in the 2009 Core Strategy are less expensive to implement as new infrastructure would not be required.
I object to the proposed development in Old Milverton and Blackdown contained in Warwick District Council's Preferred Options for the Local plan. The Green Belt land in the north of Leamington should be preserved to stop the potential merger of Leamington Spa and Kenilworth and safeguard the countryside from encroachment.
The area around Old Milverton and Blackdown is used by both residents and visitors for recreational purposes such as walking, running, cycling and riding. It provides a countryside environment close to the centres of Leamington and Warwick. If the proposed development and Northern Relief road were to go ahead this would substantially reduce the amount of land available to be enjoyed and have a detrimental impact on the ambience and, therefore, the amenity value of the land.
I urge you to look at alternative sites for the development that are not on precious Green Belt land. The plans that were prepared in 2009 for the Core Strategy Plan would have been much less expensive to implement as they did not require the extravagance of a whole new infrastructure, which we do not need.
