BASE HEADER

We are very pleased that you have taken account of the various points made to you during the first consultation period, in particular:
1. You are basing the majority of the development to the south of Warwick and Leamington on designated development land which is where the businesses are and most of the shopping complexes outside the main towns, and you are making use of the available brownfield sites. There is also room here for improved infrastructure to accommodate this development.
2. You are also spreading the distribution of the housing so that some of it is to the north i.e. south of Kenilworth and at Lillington, although these are smaller developments which can be accommodated by the existing infrastructure, and small amounts of development will be allowed in villages around the district.
3. You have recognised that there are no exceptional circumstances for building on the Green Belt north of Leamington which will preserve the green space between Leamington and Kenilworth.
We sincerely trust that the Revised Development Strategy will be accepted although we do have an issue with the total number of new houses that you propose to build.
