Green Belt land N Milverton
I object because:
1.The Exceptional Circumstances required by the NPP Framework to justify removal of greenbelt land have not been shown. There are other , better and nearer sites to support Coventry's housing needs. These have been identified by WDC and Coventry CC.
The justification for releasing land from the Green Belt requires that those sites with the least Green Belt value be removed first. The Green Belt land at Milverton should be one of the last on the list.
2. If the houses are for Coventry's needs then they are in the wrong place, leading to more traffic congestion in traveling to Coventry.

3. The proposed railway station will not work as there is a deep cutting where it is proposed.
4. The proposals include some light industry. It is a good idea for people to live near their work. But how is light industry, which is in the plan, going to address Coventry's housing needs?
5. The area is much used by walkers and we see it well used. The prime farmland is an important resource as are the wildlife habitats.

6. The green space between Leamington and Warwick will be further reduced . This goes against the reasons for the Green Belt
