Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

The Draft Plan allocates housing to site H01 and, with the removal of the employment allocation, increases that from 1190 to 1300 dwellings.
We argue elsewhere (3. Updated evidence) that WDC has over-provided in total housing provision within its Draft Plan. However if sites in this area are to be allocated to housing it is perverse to remove the specific community hub element from such large new settlements. (The added NB that these uses "will still be required" smacks of a hasty afterthought to cover a dubious fix).
To replace it with a football stadium will introduce disturbance of extra traffic, noise and lights on match days. To badge it with the contrived title "Community stadium" is absolutely no substitute for vital community facilities and services in daily use as listed in the original Draft Plan.
The future residents of these houses will not be given the chance to object to this large independent structure in the middle of their suburb or to the absence of local retail, community and medical facilities, which will not be built unless planned for in advance.

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

New Evidence
The recent Petition, followed by Council debate and resolution have high-lighted the very special nature of St. Mary's Lands and this was after previous Local Plan consultation.
Why Draft Plan is incomplete
We note that the draft supports the principle of designating an LGS (as provided for in NPPF).
HS3 suggests that local communities may designate through Neighbourhood Plans. But many communities are not proposing neighbourhood plans (eg Leamington Town Council) and adjacent spaces may relate to either several or to no neighbourhood plans. The NPPF states (para 76) that an LGS "should be designated when a plan is prepared or reviewed" so now is the time for designation, not left as vague possibility.
There will be few spaces appropriate for LGS status within the WDC area. But we suggest two notable spaces which could and should be designated in the text of the Local Plan. They are :-
St. Mary's Lands
This is demonstrably special to the local community, as indicated above, and not just to those livingimmediately adjacent. It also fulfils most of the possible criteria. We support this designation as a unique space within the District.
Welch's Meadow and east as far as the canal (and old railway line)
This land, bounded to north by River Leam and south by A425, is certainly close to and special for the local community. It meets various criteria including tranquillity close to the town, richness of wildlife, and recreational value for many walkers.
