Respondent: Mrs Cathy Armstrong

Representation Summary:

* We believe that 'exceptional circumstance' justifying the proposal to build on Green Belt land in this area has not been proven - there are other suitable/available sites outside the Green Belt which do accord with the principles of the NPPF.
* We believe that the proposed plans relating to the northern entrance to Leamington Spa will exacerbate rather than reduce transport issues, encourage urban sprawl (which, according to the NPPF, Green Belt protection is designed to prevent), and that the proposals will impact negatively on the affected communities, the wider district and on the general aspect when entering Leamington Spa.
