Land in between Kenilworth, Coventry and North Leamington would benefit from being designated an Area of Restraint. Developments over the last five years have led to the gap narrowing considerably. Designating it an Area of Restraint would ensure that the open nature is preserved and that the purposes of the green belt here are maintained. It would have an opposite, positive effect to that of possible development in SGs 1-6. SG06 in particular is agricultural land with leisure benefits offered by the rural footpaths. It therefore meets the criteria outlined in the draft policy.

We support these principles. It is important to remember that, where agricultural land exists within green belt land, it may be performing more than one important function. The valuable contribution of agricultural land should not be ignored in the face of nomination as green belt land; both statuses should be considered individually and with regard to their own distinct functions and purposes.

Supporting Documents 1-4 outline OMBJPC’s full position.
Housing need can be met without building on green belt; exceptional circumstances not present.
Flawed analysis and reliance on removed paragraph 142 (NPPF) undermines Green Belt Review and future selection criteria.
SG06 not a ‘sustainable location’; would promote car use.
SG06 fulfils the five purposes of Green Belt, contributing greatly to ‘openness’ and protecting the settings of historic settlements.
SG06 is high quality agricultural land, important for sustainability and security.
Planning Inspectorate rejected similar proposals in 2017.
SG06 already promotes the principles ‘healthy, safe and inclusive’ and ‘biodiverse and environmentally resilient’.

The land at SG06 represents some of the ‘best and most versatile’ agricultural land in the area. We are pleased that this consultation recognises the plans outlined in A Green Future and argue that, as part of this, the land at SG06 should be preserved as agricultural land.
In addition we draw attention to a year-long study that we commissioned from Worcestershire Wildlife Trust which identified the wide range of wildlife in SG06. Further information on the area’s biodiversity can be found at www.ombparish.org.uk/the-green-belt
