I write to support the New Local Plan Revised Development Strategy; in particular I support the absence of development on the North Leamington Greenbelt around Od Milverton and Blackdown.

I feel that it is essential that the plan does not return to a scheme involving any development on the North Leamington Greenbelt. The greenbelt in the area meets the 5 key roles of greenbelt and is an excellent and well used cultural and exercise related resource. Development in Kenilworth and Baginton and Lillington already takes land from this essential greenbelt no further development on it would be sustainable. It must not be permitted.

There is considerable concern regarding the availability of school places. This year and the next 2 years are said to be bumper births years where it is already known that there are not enough school places. The same can be said for healthcare provision,

The exclusion of development in the North Leamington Greenbelt enables the plan to comply with the NPPF. Any attempt to re-introduce development here would be bitterly opposed. It would be unacceptable as no exceptional circumstances exist and this land has a vital and immeasurable purpose for the future of the district and it critical to its future sustainability .

Development in the South reduces traffic congestion, reduces air pollution as well as enabling better provision of schools.
