I write in support of the revised development strategy for the new draft local plan for development in Warwick District for the next 15 years.

I welcome the commitment to concentrate growth within and on the edge of existing urban areas and to avoid development which could lead to the joining of existing areas of habitation and the consequent loss of identity.

In particular I welcome the commitment to protect the Green Belt from development. It is clear that no Exceptional Circumstances exist which could justify any building on Green Belt. I trust, therefore, that even in the event that the current plan is further amended, the Council will continue its commitment to protect all Green-Belt sites.
