I am against development of green belt land in principle. London's 'belt has more or less worked and been maintained. By contrast, Greater Manchester and Birmingham have seen a wholesale loss of town and city identity with the absorption of Stockport, Oldham or Wolverhampton etc. Warwick and Leamington have been allowed to coalesce as symbiotic twins and so to neither's benefit. Further development will lead to greater coalescence of the two towns and with neighbouring villages. The additional housing will put greater strain on the two town road systems which are already heavily congested.
