Preferred Options

Representation ID: 46701

Received: 23/07/2012

Respondent: Joanna Illingworth

Representation Summary:

Brownfield sites and green field sites outside the green belt should be used in preference to green belt land, except in Kenilworth as the town is surrounded by green belt. The defunct Core Strategy planned to make more use of land in the Whitnash/Bishop's Tachbrook area for housing. If those sites were appropriate for development then, they are so now. One suspects they have been excluded from the Preferred Options because of political pressure.
