Objects to proposal to allocate 700 houses on 46.5 hectares of Green Belt at Thickthorn, Kenilworth:
* The site represents a large tract of land and performs all NPPF Green Belt functions . .
* It operates as a Green Wedge and serves to avoid coalescence with Leamington.
* It is highly visible and is regarded as sensitive in landscape, visual and openness terms (openness being the primary purpose of designating Green Belt).
Where alternative options are available to meet the housing requirements of the Plan the emerging allocation cannot be regarded as being sound. One such option includes allocating land in Stratford-upon-Avon District, close to Southam, where a site is being actively promoted and could accommodate between 1,000 and 1,200 houses in the Plan period.
