Respondent: Mrs Louise Wilks

Representation Summary:

It is not justifed to develop the Green Belt area north of Leamington Spa for business and/or - as extensively addressed in our representation to Section 7 - housing development.

Development of housing and business of whatever mix is not justified by evidence in the consultation or Evidence Base and is non-compliant with the requirements of the NPPF; which tests the validity of WDC's proposed Local Plan

Also local transport infrastructure is insufficient and to develop the Northern Relief Road would DOUBLE the cost of transport mitigation measures needed to mitigate other development options. This cannot be economically justified.
