Respondent: Mr David Reid
The local electorate has had no input to the adoption of the proposals for the 'sub-regional employment site' of the Gateway project in Coventry in the Local Development Framework. The support of an element of another region's plan appears to not only compromise the preservation of a number of greenbelt sites around Warwick, Leamington and Kenilworth but actively encourages their destruction. Additionally, traffic congestion and carbon emissions would necessarily increase from additional commuting. It is not stated in documentation supporting the LDF why housing and infrastructure changes required to support the Gateway project have to be located within Warwickshire.
