I support the designation as Local Green Spaces all those listed, and hope that, when it is transferred to Warwick District Council, Portabello Fields will also be put forward as for Local Green Space designation.

I agree with the emphasis on the importance of green spaces to the town - not only the biological values but their social value too. I would particularly refer to Christchurch Gardens where WDC were seriously considering converting the tennis/basketball courts to a carpark. This threat seems temporarily to have receded but the 'Friends of the Christchurch Gardens' are very actively working to secure their long-term future.

Policy RLS8 refers to the ‘possible’ designation of Local Green Spaces within the plan area. Again Taylor Wimpey considers that the wording of the policy should be more prescriptive and clear to allow a decision maker to apply it consistently and with confidence when determining planning applications.
While Taylor Wimpey does not seek to make individual comments on the ‘possible’ local green spaces identified, they are very concerned to see the following reference made within the Policy:
“Development of designated Local Green Spaces will only be supported when consistent with national Green Belt policy (emphasis added)”.
While Taylor Wimpey recognises that the reference within Policy RLS8 to Green Belt may be erroneous, they reiterate that Local Green Spaces are much different to the allocation of Green Belt, with NPPF paragraph 135 confirming that “New Green Belts should only be established in exceptional circumstances” with such changes being made through strategic plan making. Taylor Wimpey therefore considers that the reference within Policy RLS8 to Green Belt should be removed.
