This is a war on the countryside. As far as I know the Green Belt protections remain in place and all new settlements should be locally led and not imposed on communities.
The picturesque northern gateway to Royal Leamington Spa will be destroyed if this plan goes ahead and the Green Lung between Leamington and Kenilworth will be reduced to less than 1 1/2 miles. The highly productive, high value farming land with long established wild life habitat will be destroyed. The local residents will be deprived of an area which is enjoyed for walking, running, cycling and riding.
The idea that tiny Milverton should provide houses for Coventry City Council is wrong. We the residents were not consulted.Coventry is a huge city and must find its own land not ours to build their houses on. Anyway it is illogical and not green planning for Coventry workers to live in Leamington and commute to Coventry every day. If each house has two cars, imagine what a lot of extra cars and fumes will be on our roads.
Land must be found nearer Coventry, whether north,south,west or east. In fact land is available at Kings Hill.
In fact there are no exceptional circumstances to remove this land from the Green Belt. There are other sites adjacent to Coventry with a lower Green Belt value that should be used in preference to land north of Milverton.
