BASE HEADER

We are shocked and disturbed that there are plans to build a huge 'estate' on the beautiful Milverton /Blackdown green belt land.
We have seen many new builds go up around my own house since living in Milverton (26 years)and have never objected to any of them, but the size of the current plan would completely change the character of a huge area for thousands of current residents


My main reasons for objecting are:

1)It is and should remain an important green belt area. It is used widely by the local community for recreation; walking/running/cycling/wildlife enthusiasts/photographers etc. Other areas that are not set aside as green belt are available and should be considered. Can we not build more smaller developments on unused/little used urban and derelict sites?

2) The development will be the start of the 'merging' of Leamington and Kenilworth and Old Milverton, as Warwick is now merged with Leamington, leaving an ugly urban sprawl that will cause even more congestion which the towns cannot cope with. Even with a new dual carriageway.

3)The proposed businesses within the plan will take yet more customers from existing shops etc forcing even more closures of small businesses in the area. This is bound to have a detrimental effect to the look and feel of our beautiful, much visited town.
