I read WDC's proposed plans for green belt development with dismay and incredulity and would like to add my objection to what will hopefully be a successful campaign to stop this damaging and costly ruination of our local area.

WDC have no democratic mandate to proceed with these plans. In response to a previous consultation nearly 60% of respondents opposed development in the Green Belt yet you ignore this and offer us only options on which massive level of destruction we would prefer.

Green belt is there for a reason, and previous WDC studies had identified areas of development that did not require this harmful removal of precious land.

Kenilworth cannot cope with 770 additional homes and 1000 + cars. It is gridlock during rush hour and most of the day up the Warwick Road. There is nothing in your plans to accomodate this extra traffic load on the local streets. Nor is there evidence of how the disruption, noise and pollution will be minimised or managed while the development is underway.

The quicker this ill conceived and unwanted plans are shelved the better. I wish WDC the worst of luck and will resist in every way I can.
