The Council appear to have made assumptions and assertions about where they feel it is appropriate to locate housing within the district, as well as the level of housing to be provided, before carrying out the relevant assessments with an open mind to reach such a conclusion. Thus, the process has begun from entirely the wrong premise and is based on evidence that is partial, inaccurate and subjective. It also shows little regard for the evidence base for the new Local Plan. Following the cessation of work on the 2010 Core Strategy the Council did not start the process anew, and instead merely attempted to rehash pre-determined strategies and development patterns.

The green belt allocations are not sufficiently justified as there are suitable sites outside the green belt. Exceptional circumstances pertaining to the 'need' for land are not proven. See reps relatibg to policies DS11 and DS19 as well.

A number of sites proposed in the Plan have previously been refused planning permission and cannot therefore be considered deliverable. Further the significant amount of development in one location on land to the south of Leamington Spa, will mean there is not enough choice to provide the level of competition required. The plan is not considered sufficiently robust to adapt to market conditionsdue to under-allocation of sites and little overall headroom.
