I would like to record my approval to the proposed revision of the local plan. This seems to be a return to the original strategic plan which has formulated the development of the area in recent years.

All the infrastructure and amenities have been focused to the south of the area adjacent to the motorway. The list practically endless as is shown by the following list.

To the south:-
The Motorway and access routes. ( even the A46 bypasses the towns) The Technology park.
All the industrial estates including ones accessed by A46.
Two hospitals. One again using A46
All the supermarkets, now five. ( and those in Warwick near A46) All secondary schools (except one) and Warwick School.
The Railway Station.
The Shires retail shopping park.
The main Hotel (again those north are easily accessed by A46) All the main car showrooms and service garages.
Builders merchants and plumbing centres.
Sewerage works
Department store ( Debenhams)

To the north:-
One private hospital and management training centre (both accessed from A46 to north)

I am sure that my lists are incomplete, it clearly illustrates how because of previous plans, the south with the scheduled development of white belt has been developed with the future in mind. Whereas the Green Belt area to the north has been protected. Property owners to the south may also wish for development elsewhere, but it has always been stated that the southern white belt is for development and the well planned layout of these housing areas have taken this into consideration as have the developers and purchasers.

The roads to the north of Leamington are nose to tail both morning and evening. Many residents wishing to travel south or west go north using A46 to bypass towns because of heavy traffic.
Any further development without a multi million pound new road through the green belt and beautiful Avon valley would course grid lock.
