Building on the greenbelt does not sit well with environmental stewardship. This area is a valued landscape both in terms of beauty and recreational value (walkers, cyclists). The proposals will damage the natural environment, ruin the character of the area and lead to loss of productive farmland. The infrastructure requirements to support housing (LNRR) are particularly concerning. As well as affecting amenity, this will lead to merging of Leamington and Kenilworth.
The proposals are clearly against the wishes of local people who have genuine objections. Loss of agricultural land would be permanent.
Development should be at affordable prices in suitable locations. It is doubtful that this can be achieved here given the limited access to infrastructure and employment - including public transport. The proposals do not seem to provide for affordable housing and will have a negative impact on quality of life.
Exceptional circumstances for green belt development have not been justified especially as there are alternatives outside the green belt. Traffic congestion may also increase. There is also concern that opinions expressed by the public will not be taken on board.

The quantity of housing proposed is not soundly based and seems to only relate to what the Government are likely to find acceptable when the plan is submitted. Properly assessing the numbers is vital, clearly setting out the thinking behind a sustainable increase for the local area.
