Table showing the three scenarios and how they could affect how we tackle the important issues

Important issues	Scenario one	Scenario two	Scenario three
Summary of likely effect	Low levels of new development and investment with the least potential to deal with the important issues in relation to providing more jobs, homes and investment in our town centres. This scenario will have the least impact on the environment and character of the area. It will also place the least additional demands on local services, although it has the least potential to generate additional money for maintaining, improving and providing new community facilities and services.	Average levels of new development and investment with the potential to deal with the important issues in relation to providing more jobs, homes and investment in our town centres. This scenario will impact on the environment and character of the area. It will also place additional demands on local services, although it has the potential to generate additional money for maintaining, improving and providing new community facilities and services.	High levels of new development and investment with the greatest potential to deal with the important issues in relation to providing more jobs, homes and investment in our town centres. This scenario will have the greatest impact on the environment and character of the area. It will also place the greatest additional demands on local services, although it has the greatest potential to generate additional money for maintaining, improving and providing new community facilities and services.
Uncertain future of the local economy	Limited increases in opportunities for businesses to grow or move to the area, with potentially fewer new jobs available for local people and more need for people to travel outside of the area to work.	Increases opportunities for businesses to grow or move to the area, with the potential for more and varied new jobs available for local people.	Significantly increases opportunities for businesses to grow or move to the area, with the potential for many more and varied new jobs available for local people, with less need to travel out of the area to work.
High house prices and lack of affordable homes	Limited increases in the supply of new homes, and less likely to provide any affordable homes for local people who need them or are unable to get on the property ladder.	Increases the supply of new homes and affordable homes for local people who need them or are unable to get on the property ladder.	Significantly increases the supply of new homes and affordable homes for local people who need them or are unable to get on the property ladder.
Economic strength of the town centres	Limited potential to attract new shops and businesses, and little encouragement for investment in maintaining and improving the town centres.	Potential to attract new shops and businesses, and likely to encourage investment in maintaining and improving the town centres.	Potential to attract many new shops and businesses, and likely to encourage significant levels of investment in maintaining and improving the town centres.
Size and condition of public facilities and services	Limited increases in demands on local schools and community facilities, although limited potential to generate money from new development to maintain and improve local facilities and services.	Increases in demands on local schools, and community facilities, although potential to generate money from new development to maintain and improve local facilities and services.	Significant increases in demands on local schools, and community facilities, although the greatest potential to generate money from new development to maintain and improve local facilities and services.
Unequal opportunities to improve health and well being	Limited increases in demands on open space, sports and cultural facilities, although limited potential to generate money from new development to maintain and improve local facilities and services.	Increases in demands on open space, sports and cultural facilities, although potential to generate money from new development to maintain and improve local facilities and services.	Significant increases in demands on open space, sports and cultural facilities, although the greatest potential to generate money from new development to maintain and improve local facilities and services.
Road congestion and air pollution	Limited increases in congestion and air pollution, although limited potential to generate money from new development to improve roads and public transport.	Increases in congestion and air pollution, although the potential to generate money from new development to improve roads and public transport.	Significant increases in congestion and air pollution, although the greatest potential to generate money from new development to improve roads and public transport.
Threat of flooding of homes and businesses	No building on farmland, with no potential increase in risk of flooding as a result, although limited potential to generate money from new development to go towards flood defence schemes.	Building on farmland, potentially increasing the risk of flooding as a result, although potential to generate money from new development to go towards flood defence schemes.	Significant levels of building on farmland, potentially increasing the risk of flooding as a result, although the greatest potential to generate money from new development to go towards flood defence schemes.
Areas of poverty in Warwick and Leamington	Limited potential for new development to encourage investment to regenerate run-down areas.	Levels of new development could potentially encourage some investment to regenerate run-down areas.	Significant levels of new development could potentially encourage more investment to regenerate run-down areas.
Threats to the environment	All farmland around the towns and villages will be protected from being built on.	Some large areas of farmland around the towns and villages will be built on (approximately 125 hectares or 300 acres in total), but other areas will be protected.	Significant areas of farmland around the towns and villages will be built on (approximately 275 hectares or 700 acres in total), but other areas will be protected.
Crime and fear of crime	Limited increases in demands on the police, although limited potential to generate money from new development to go towards creating safer areas.	Increases in demands on the police, although the potential to generate money from new development to go towards creating safer areas.	Significant increases in demands on the police, although the greatest potential to generate money from new development to go towards creating safer areas.
Amount of new development and investment in the district	On average around 250 new homes and 4 hectares of land for businesses being built a year in the district. This means there will be an increase of less than 0.5% in the total number of homes in the district each year.	On average, around 500 new homes and 4.5 hectares of land for businesses being built a year in the district. This means there will be an increase of less than 1% in the total number of homes in the district each year.	On average, around 800 new homes and 5 hectares of land for businesses being built a year in the district. This means there will be an increase of 1.5% in the total number of homes in the district each year.
