We were horrified to learn of the Warwick District Council's Preferred Options Local Plan, which threatens to engulf Blackdown in a major new development, and reduce it to just another part of a town.

The reason we moved here some 36 years ago, was that we agreed with the statement by the real-estate agents that our property was in the most unique rural, most sought after location near the beautiful town of Leamington.
We did move here, and stayed that long, because we felt, and were told, that the Green Belt laws and regulations would never allow any developments of the kind you are presently proposing, to spoil the unique nature of this small settlement.

We studied the details of the proposal, and discussed the details with our neighbours and others concerned with the proposed breach of the Green Belt rules and regulations, and contributed to the list of points in the attachment to this email, which we fully support.

These points were thoroughly researched, and , even already supported by earlier legal analyses and studies by the Warwick District Council itself, especially where the Green Belt issues, and the rejection some years ago of the dual-carriage-way A452 project for practical, jusifiability, and cost reasons, were concerned.

In addition, the enlargement of the Stoneleigh road between Sandy Lane and Bericote Lane , would mean cutting the its old trees down, and make us lose forever this unique setting of Blackdown in the English countryside, while there will be no noticable improvement of the trafic flow on that road.

Based on the above , my wife and I strongly oppose the proposals , and beg you to review this matter again in great detail to find a better solution to the development and housing problems you are facing.
