We have lived in Northumberland Road in Leamington Spa for 36 years and strongly object to the use of greenbelt land for housing development.
Since moving to Northumberland Road there have been two developments of houses in the road which has considerably increased traffic and spoilt the amenities of the fields and countryside close by.

We regularly walk in the fields and pathways at the back of Northumberland Road and it is a very pleasant and worthwhile amenity for the people of Leamington.

If development takes place in Blackdown, how long would it be before the Council are reaching out to join up with Kenilworth and Leamington will loose itss identity.

We have heard about the comments re 'not in our back yard' but why does greenbelt land have to be use when there is plenty of other land in Leamington suitable for development and WDC does not demonstrate the exceptional circumstances necessary to build on greenbelt as set out by the NPPF.

The North Leamington Relief Road would certainly not ease traffic in Northumberland Road and would totally spoil the beautiful countryside surrounding Old Milverton.
