These objectives are flawed. The first bullet point highlights that the council is failing to make a distinction between green belt land and other land on the edge of urban areas. The second is a valid objective but the plan has the opposite effect, leading to severe narrowing of the green belt between Kenilworth and Leamington and the enclosure of Old Milverton. The third (distributing growth) may be desirable as an abstract concept, but is not practical in these circumstances because it would be at the expense of precious green belt land.
