We wish to see the strategy, and its subsequent policies, as a positive vision for the whole District. We support the intention to create a District that is a sustainable mixture of housing, with `neighbourhoods that are well designed and distinctive'. These intentions will only be realised through intelligent and well organised planning.
In particular we have to plan for a society that is less car dependent. The area designated for housing will have an enormous road infrastructure to accompany it. We believe that
new housing developments must be accompanied by investment in public transport, strategic cycle routes to Town Centres and employment sites and pedestrian networks, or people could become isolated in their housing areas.
We like the `Smart Growth' approach, that addresses housing, land-use, sense of place, transport and community together.
Royal Leamington Spa Town Council broadly welcomes the Revised Development Strategy and in the attached document gives a more detailed response to items within it.
