Wishes to object to the non-allocation of land adjacent to Tournament Fields, Warwick for residential development:

- This 5 acre site was allocated for residential development in the 1995 plan, but then for employment uses in the 2007 plan - this site has previously been marketed for employment development without success and much of the adjoining employment land within Tournament Fields also remains to be developed - a report by commercial agents also advises the unsuitability of the site for commercial uses;
- the site lies directly opposite a residential estate and within easy walking distance of the local centre;
- a commissioned noise assessment study states that subject to suitable noise mitigation measures being implemented, it is considered that noise should not prevent the allocation if the Campbell land for residential development.
- the allocation of this site for residential uses would lead to a reduction in the need for Green Belt release.
