Whilst recognising the need for a "Town Plan" to meet the future housing needs in Royal Leamington Spa, we are appalled that green belt land is even being considered when other options are available.
Urban sprawl is not the answer; running the risk of linking one town to another destroys the feeling of community identity.
Building of such a scale on land to the North of the town would most certainly require a relief road requiring even further destruction of our valuable countryside.

North Leamington's Green belt provides a buffer between the towns and villages to the North. The area is used for walking and the villages are unspoilt. Old Milverton and the surrounding green belt in particular is outstanding and should be kept as a heritage area for the generations to come.
Local Plan has not demonstrated exceptional circumstances in accordance with the NPPF as there is sufficient land outside of the Green Belt that has not been included in the preferred options.

This land has great recreational value to the local community.
The Greenbelt in Old Milverton and Blackdown fulfils the five purposes of Greenbelt set out in the NPPF and therefore should remain as open Greenbelt land forever.
As there are alternative sites outside of the Greenbelt, there are no exceptional circumstances which outweigh the harm caused by altering the Greenbelt.

Opposes development of Green Belt land in North Leamington.
An important local amenity for walking.
There is suitable non green belt land available to the south of the Town.
The NPPF principles should be adhered to where the development of Green Belt land is concerned.

This area is an asset to Leamington Spa.
It is enjoyed by many walkers, runners riders and cyclists and should be preserved at all costs.
It would be shameful to build here until you have exhausted all alternatives and checked that the number of houses you require is needed !

Sites are in the narrow Green Belt between Kenilworth & Leamington, there cannot be a need here as there available sites outside of the Green Belt.
Allowing development here along with large development proposed at Gateway, HS2, Stoneleigh Park would destroy the valuable rural environment which maintains the spatial integrity of nearby small villages.
The proposed new road would negatively impact the area towards Guys Cliffe.
Traffic model is necessary to consider combined impacts of all development in this area. Congestion is Stoneleigh is already unacceptable at peak times.

The Green Belt land in this area is an asset to Leamington Spa and Kenilworth. It is enjoyed by many walkers, runners, riders and cyclists and should be preserved at all costs. What is the point of designating any land as greenbelt if council's can build on them, when there are alternative brownfield sites South of Leamington. It would be shameful to build here until you have exhausted all alternatives and checked that the number of houses you require is needed.

One of the main reasons for choosing this property to reside in, was the amazing views across the fields and the reassurance then that Green Belt land was sacrosanct. It seems now that the term Green Belt no longer has any relevance or worth! An important factor is the existence of a protected species of newt, It is my understanding that only authorised personnel are permitted to handle these creatures. The resulting devastation of these and other wildlife seem to contravene attempts to protect fauna. The agricultural land periodically falls victim to flooding, surely unsuitable for housing. Furthermore, there is danger of Warwick, Leamington and Kenilworth merging.

The prospect of destroying Warwickshire countryside, cutting down trees and killing wildlife is a disgrace and should not be allowed to happen.How will the surrounding road structure cope with the substantial increase in traffic? Why destroy the countryside when there was a substantial amount of land at the Fords Foundry site, close to the town centre and all amenities. Yet a further supermarket has been allowed to take this over. How many supermarkets does a town need? I would like to know how many small traders, who also employ staff you are putting out of business as they cannot compete with large supermarkets.

Proposed development of new housing on Green Belt land to the North of Leamington Spa is objectionable and outlandish. The purpose of defining Green Belt is to retain agricultural value, recreational assets, natural beauty and prevent urban sprawl. Such a development would create a great deal of further chaos and congestion on the roads, which can already be witnessed at peak times. A relief road is proposed to compliment such development which would cut through swathes of land of extreme natural environment and beauty which would be outrageous. I understand that there are numerous parcels of land to the South of Leamington Spa which have not been listed as Green Belt.

This land has great recreational value to the local community. It is enjoyed by many runners, riders, walkers and cyclists. It is also prime food producing agricultural land which once destroyed can never be replaced. According to the NPPF the fundamental aim of Green Belt is to prevent urban sprawl by keeping land permanently open. The Green Belt in Old Milverton and Blackdown fufils the 5 purposes of Green Belt set out in the NPPF. There are other non Green Belt sites to the South that could be developed, from the 2009 Core Strategy, with existing employment opportunities and infrastructure.

It defies sense that designated Green Belt land should be developed when there are other more suitable options available. Our strongest objection is that the infrastructure in North Leamington will clearly not cope without massive additional investment. There are other areas on the southern side of Leamington that already have a much better infrastructure, without the constraints of North Leamington that could be sensibly developed

Strongly object to proposed development plan on Green Belt land in North Leamington. One can assume that it was designated as Green Belt after careful consideration of all relevant factors. Why is this original work now being ignored? Nothing has changed since the 2009 Core Strategy, so what justification is there to disregard all the work that was carried out and resulted in the Green Belt Classification? Whilst I understand that more houses have to be built, such building must be carried out on Brown and White field sites before any consideration is given to using valuable Green Belt land

Objection on the grounds that the land is used by the local community, goes against the National Planning Policy Framework, other sites exist which are not in the greenbelt and plenty of brown field sites exist which could be used instead. It was also suggested that decisions taken now would limit options in the future.

This land is Green Belt and farmland, producing valuable crops many people use it for recreational purposes. Surely, there is land in South Leamington which would be suitable for housing where the infrastructure is already in place rather than violating this much loved and much enjoyed part of Warwickshire.

Green Belt protection is fundamental. Where is the justification for merging Kenilworth and Leamington when other options are available. The Green Belt is a well-used amenity and proposed developments 4 and 5 will remove this much loved open space. Why do you consider that there is to be a need for over 8,000 dwellings by 2029, working in a school it is apparent the birth rate does not reflect this, supported by secondary place availability. At the Potterton site, a majority of units remain empty. It is apparent level of demand does not exceed supply is the demand projection accurate?

The development map shows that the council are trying to win approval for building on Green Belt when White and Brown land was already set aside from the 2009 plan without justification. Why are we trying to build more houses than is required by the National Plan. If National Plan numbers are adhered to then no extra land is required saving building a new road plus other infrastructure projects to support over 1400 houses in what is currently Green Belt. The Green Belt area is enjoyed by many local residents and should be preserved for the future.

There are other sites, which can be developed that are not in the Green Belt. These sites mainly to the South of Leamington were included in Warwick District Council's 2009 previous plan. So what has changed? Employment and infrastructure already exists there, this land should be used in preference to the Greenbelt.

The Green Belt land borders Lillington and New Cubbington, it provides a 'green lung' of open countryside for the benefit of many thousands of residents. This valuable amenity would be lost forever if the proposed development is allowed to proceed. Development of Green Belt can be permitted if 'exceptional circumstances' exist and no other suitable land is available. However, the council's own plans already show adequate non-Green Belt land South of Leamington to be available, which has close proximity to existing infrastructure and employment opportunities. The threatened Green Belt provides much amenity and adds much character its loss is inexcusable.

Fundamental reasons to support our objections:
1. Land has recreational value.
2. Fundamental aim of Green Belt is to prevent urban sprawl.
3. Prevents merging of Leamington and Kenilworth, helps preserve setting and character of Leamington.
4. Green Belt helps safeguard countryside from encroachment and helps maximise wildlife habitats.
5. The proposals ignore WDC's study of the Green Belt land at Old Milverton and Blackdown, which concluded that these areas had high Green Belt value.
6. NPPF requires 'very special circumstances' for development in the Green Belt.
7. Land South of Leamington was identified and is still available for development.

I object to the proposed development of Green Belt land to the North of Leamington, overall I find that insufficient planning evidence exists to justify the proposed development on Green Belt land.
1. Green Belt land should not be developed when other suitable land is available in Leamington for development.
2. The proposed plan will lead to coalescence of urban areas.
3. The local infrastructure is not sufficient to support development.
4. The plan proposes 1,370 excess dwellings over and above projected requirements.

The stipulated area is prime agricultural land, used not only for farming purposes, but also as a local amenity. I acknowledge the need for housing in the area but it would be more appropriate to use Brown or White field sites. I can see that new land is easier and more profitable for developers to build on, but can only hope that WDC will put the beauty of the area, requirement for agricultural land, wishes of residents and commonsense above the profit motives of national and local building firms.

It is my passionate belief that Green Belt land should be sustained for the preservation of wildlife habitat and recreational and educational enjoyment. As no 'very special circumstances' have been presented for the development of the Green Belt space, I can see no reason to seek this as the obvious choice for the proposed plans. Previously developed land has already been identified which is still available. The proposed development would further encourage an urban sprawl between Warwick, Leamington and Kenilworth. Furthermore in the current economic climate many can ill afford to purchase homes, is it practical to build more?

Objection to the proposal for houses and commercial premises in the North Leamington area. We support the need; however object to the location of this project on a Green Belt site. Available land has already been identified in other areas that do not require sacrificing Green Belt land, which was designated to protect our living environment. Although estimated building requirements appear to support this massive programme, we feel they may be too excessive in view of Government determination to reduce immigration. Developing on the Green Belt will result in urban sprawl and the merging of Leamington and Kenilworth.

Whilst recognising the need for new housing in order to fulfil the government objective. I would like to stress the importance of protecting local communities from any developments, which could cause a loss of identity and countryside by joining up existing urban areas.
Proposed development does not support government policy to empower local people and protect their access to countryside relaxation areas. Over the years, we have enjoyed the peace and serenity of Old Milverton and still do as a walking area. We should like to believe that this beautiful area of country will remain unspoilt for future generations.
