Having 80% of the district designated as green belt restricts how much as well as where development can take place but this has not been recognized.

Concentrating new housing in the southern part of the district and new employment in the north east will increase commuting.

Warwick and Leamington have their town centres, police stations, hospitals and fire services on the north bank of the Rivers Leam and Avon and on the north side of the West Coast Main Line. There are limited crossing points all of which are congested at peak times. No proposals have been put forward for additional crossing points and by the councils own admission it is very difficult to upgrade them and impossible to create a new crossing. Therefore development south of these barriers should be restricted to current levels and either new sites identified north of these barriers or development overall restricted.
