Any large development should include "green channels" such as persists on the Woodloes park. As well as enabling rented apartments and local shops, to facilitate attractive areas to live in, a wide social mix and reduced environmental impact of shopping trips.

Warwick Town should encourage shops, whilst at the District level expansion by the BIG retailers should not be encouraged.

Existing wild places should be kept, particularly the river side walk between Warwick and Leamington. Potentially the path behind Tesco's could be enhanced from a mud track to a gravel path, similar to that in place where the path passes on the South side of the river by Edmondscote running track.

The plan has several areas shown as Confidential. This is clearly unhelpful from the point of view of commenting on specifics. If the land of or around Jephson Farm (between the river and Myton Road) is proposed to be developed this would be a significant diminution of amenity, and more "paving over of Warwick".

Whilst the plan proposes utilising the Regency Terrace opposite the old Council Courts in Warwick, there appears to be no plans for the Courts themselves? Surely there is scope for, say a Museum of Justice to keep these fine buildings and their historic interior, as well as adding to the vitality and attractiveness of Warwick.

Taking the sections in the plan:
P04: am surprised at just how far you plan to expand Warwick South! At this rate Warwick Castle Park will be a green island ? Assuming you are serious then it is behold that the Castle Park be available as an amenity, to enable the expanded population a proportional access to quality green space/park

P05: Affordable housing - agree.

P06/7/9/10/13/15: agree

P08: see earlier comment

P011: see earlier comment re: County Courts

P012: whilst agreeing climate change is real and has to be addressed, I'm unclear on what 20% reduction means. 20% of what ? will this be an annually revised value? (20% in year1, year2 = 20% of previous year etc, presuming each year is an improvement on the previous)

P014: use of public transport is as much a financial decision as access to it. If it's unaffordable to many it won't get used. By ignoring HS2, does that mean any costs associated with it WILL be met by Central Government then? I don't understand (and you don't explain) the risk of ignoring HS2 (or conversely) the risk/downside if you did plan for HS2.
