Not only is objection raised to the scale of release of green belt north of Warwick and Leamington due to the lack of credible evidence base but similar objections exist in terms of the choice of locations south of Warwick. It is submitted that the land west of Europa Way should be considered separately from land south of Gallows Hill. The LCA suggests that the draft Local Plan by combining Europa Way and Gallows Hill has chosen the sites south of Warwick that will have the greatest impact.

For the land west of Europa Way (proposed allocation) the LCA concludes "Although
this wedge of undeveloped land has been a strategic break between 'Warwick' and
'Leamington', we feel its value to the setting of the towns has been greatly diminished
by surrounding land use. We feel that carefully considered development here could
enhance the setting of the towns and provide a better transition from rural to urban
land".

For land south Gallows Hill (proposed allocation) the LCA concludes "This is generally an area of well maintained agricultural land that is important to the setting of Castle Park and prominent in approaches to Warwick. We feel it should be safeguarded from development. However the former landfill site at Turnbull's Gardens is an anomaly in the landscape that needs additional consideration ".
