The Hatton (B1) proposal contravenes Green Belt protections, disregarding the 2017 Warwick Local Plan Inspector’s rejection of similar development due to harm to openness and coalescence risks. Arup’s Green Belt Review mischaracterizes Leamington’s status, inflating housing needs via unverified cross-boundary targets. Non-Green Belt alternatives (Long Marston, Bearley/Wilmcote) with rail access and 12,762-home capacity are inadequately assessed. Infrastructure plans lack binding commitments, violating NPPF §20. The proposal neglects impacts on Grade 2 farmland and biodiversity (skylarks, ancient hedgerows), failing NPPF §186. Duty-to-Cooperate gaps and overreliance on unviable Green Belt release render the plan undeliverable.
