BASE HEADER

I am shocked and appalled to hear about the planned proposals to develop green belt, land as a member of the local community I frequently use the area around Milverton to walk and jog through enjoying access to local countryside looking at wildlife and enjoying a peaceful atmosphere. I also feel substantial concern for the villagers who will almost certainly see the value of their houses reduce due to the new development.

It is then of even greater concern to find out that there is perfectly usable brown belt land available to use south of Leamington which is mentioned in the 2009 proposal which would also make far better use of current road structures and access to community facilities. The decision not to use this seems simply to be that it does not bring enough financial benefit to developers, this strikes of pure greed and not in the communities interest whatsoever!

Considering the continued growth of our population a need for new houses is understandable, have local governments even begun to consider that this increased population will also need to be fed! We should be preserving our agricultural land as well as the allotments which help support our community.

I am not in any way against new development, I have 12 new houses being built only 3 doors away from my own home on a piece of land which originally housed an underused pub, this will make an excellent use of the land. This iscertainly not a "not in my backyard"complaint!
I have outlined some of my personal views against this development and feel very strongly that this is in the worst possible interests of our community.
