Representation Summary:

Delighted that Green Belt land to the north of Leamington has been removed from the local plan. Understands the constraints the planners in Warwick district have to work under but it is always best to utilise non green belt land first.
If the green belt to the north of Leamington is not protected, there is a danger Leamington and Warwick will merge with Kenilworth and Coventry.
The non green belt land to the south and east of Leamington is far more suitable for development with space, rail & motorway links and most of the industry being in this area.

I am delighted common sense has prevailed and green belt land to the north of Leamington has been removed from the local plan.
Like many others I realise the constraints the planners in Warwick district have to work under with so much green belt in the area but surely it is always best to utilise non green belt land first.
If the green belt to the north of Leamington is not protected, there is a danger Leamington and Warwick will merge with Kenilworth which in turn will merge with Coventry. We cannot afford our area to become a suburb of Coventry. The non green belt land to the south and east of Leamington is far more suitable for development with space, rail & motorway links and most of the industry being in this area.
