NPPF states Green belt boundaries should only be altered in exceptional circumstances. Not the case as there are suitable sites in South Leamington, identified in Core Strategy.
Most of road network is in south of town and to now propose building a "northern relief road "at vast cost , simply adds to error !
The Green Belt in Old Milverton and Blackdown fulfils the 5 purposes of Greenbelt set out in NPPF.
Reconsider PO with view to concentrating housing development in south of town.
The Government's National Planning Policy Framework [NPPF] states that Green belt boundaries should only be altered in exceptional circumstances. I do not believe this to be the case as there are other sites in South Leamington on White Belt land which could be used for house building. These were of course outlined in your previous plan, the 2009 Core Strategy document. Most of the main road network is concentrated in the south of the town and to now propose building a "northern relief road "at vast cost , simply adds to the error !
The Green Belt in Old Milverton and Blackdown fulfils the 5 purposes of Greenbelt as set out in the NPPF in that it prevents the unrestricted sprawl of Leamington northwards, and also prevents the merging of Leamington and Kenilworth.
I would ask that WDC reconsider the Preferred Options Plan with a view to concentrating housing development in the south of the town.
