The Rcaecourse plays an importnat roile in the District as a leisure and recreational facility and this should be recognised in the Local Plan. At present there is no site specific policy for the Racecourse.

Support the reference to the sustainable growth of the retail and leisure offer in the existing town centres to improve the vitality and viability of these centres and to maintain their profile as tourist destinations.

Warwick town centre is not best suited to major development proposals and therefore alternative development locations, such as the racecourse should be considered as it provides the ideal opportunity to accommodate development being an existing tourism and leisure destination. Its location close to the town centre means that enhancement of the racecourse will have spin off benefits.

Flexibility for development at the Racecourse therefore needs to be built in, especially as falling media income means that the Racecourse will need to diversify. Including potential for
-a hotel
-replacement saddling boxes
-new members entrance
-renewal of the Chandler Suite
-new main racecourse entrance
-extension to the caravan park

Whilst generally support the proposal to replace the existing policy of Areas of Restraint with designated Green Wedges, Map 6 proposes that the racecourse be designated as "Public Parks and Gardens". It is unclear from Policy POl5 what the intention of this is and what implications this might have for the racecourse, in particular in relation to race day activities. Therefore objects to Policy PO15 due to concern that this could potentially conflict with operation of the
racecourse business.
