We welcome the efforts of the District Council in Policy DS4 to prioritise housing development on brownfield sites / Completions and sites with planning permission account for 3,629 dwellings. Small urban sites, consolidation of existing employment sites and the allowance for windfall sites account for a further 3,147 dwellings.

Despite the above, the District Council are proposing to provide almost half the total provision in the form of sites newly allocated in the Plan.

850 would be on the southeast side of Kenilworth in the Green Belt. As noted in other responses, we do not consider that the Plan demonstrates the exceptional circumstances required to remove land from the Green Belt for new allocated housing sites.

Sites on the edge of villages and in the rural area account for a further 763 dwellings. Some of the proposals involve substantial expansion of relatively small settlements and we are particularly concerned about those for Leek Wootton, Kingswood (Lapworth), Bishops Tachbrook, Cubbington, Hampton Magna and Radford Semele.
