If there is a limited supply of land for development we should start to ask the question 'What does sustainability mean in the context of Warwick'. Clearly there are limits to growth, and as indicated above I am not convinced that the model used to calculate growth is a valid one. There are both theoretical and practical limits to growth, which if exceeded will fundamentally change the character of Warwick as a historic county town. It is in danger of becoming a castle surrounded by a housing estate.
