Leamington's rich heritage and natural beauty should be preserved and this includes surrounding areas. The porposals for significant significant urban extensions undermine this - especially in the green belt. If growth is justified it should be focused near Heathcote or Radford, close to employment, retail and infratsructure. This would also aid regeneration. Locating development close to employment would redice commute time and make better use of infratsructure.

Green belt development is not needed, particualrly in the context of a recession that is likely to go on for a considerable time. Using agricultural land is not justified and wil make us more susceptible to global conditions.

We should make the most of what we have rather than be obessed with building more.

The Council seems to be taking a political approach by trying to "spread the pain", but this is not leading to a sensible selection of sites.
