This email is to lodge my objection against the proposed new housing developments.
Having seen the vast areas land put forward for development across the local area, I am very dismayed how much Greenbelt land has been sacrificed.
I do not profess to be knowledgeable in the reasons why the council has chosen these areas, what I can see is that the green areas around our lovely towns will be disappearing at an alarming rate. I would be most interested to know why the meaning of Greenbelt does not mean anything anymore? At what point do we stop- when Warwick, Leamington Spa, Kenilworth and all the villages in between are one continual mass of brick,concrete and tarmac with a few trees planted on street corners, as a token gesture to a bit of greenery.
The NPPF clearly states the the purpose of Greenbelt protection is to prevent urban sprawl, but this proposal appears to positively encourage it. I do not believe that there are any exectional circumstances to warrant such large scale distruction of Greenbelt land.
Having seen the congestion recently by road works along the Cubbington Road and and the junction at Leicester Lane and Kenilworth road, I doubt if this area could sustain the increased traffic from a few thousand more vehicles.
At which point do we actually think of the bigger picture, not for now, but in the future. We need to take a step back, there must be alternatives, we can't put it back once we've taken all away
