Revised Development Strategy

Representation ID: 52520

Received: 26/06/2013

Respondent: mr peter nicholls

Representation Summary:

WDC has had a difficult task in reconciling and balancing environmental and planning considerations here. There were no Exceptional Circumstances for the Green Belt status of land to North of Leamington to be overturned. If some more houses are needed in the area, then they are best built on non green belt land to the south of Warwick/Leamington where more employment is situated.
Coventry has enough non greenbelt land for more housing. Land which is nearer to the city. Certainly enough land to supply the number of houses required which I feel has been over estimated
