Respondent: Leamington Society

Representation Summary:

Under PO 10, we make strong and specific criticism of the Garden Suburb proposals. Many of the claimed benefits are bogus, while the low density sprawl is extremely profligate with land and damaging to sustainability of transport and local services.
It would not be difficult to increase the planned average density and the proposed suburban additions around Warwick / Leamington - which cover broadly 3 areas - could be concentrated in only 2 of the three locations. There would still be choices to be made and not easy ones.
