I would like to support the Revised Development Plan. I would further like to thank Warwick District Council for listening to the concerns passed about the original preferred options during the recent consultation.

My reason for supporting the Revised Strategy is primarily that it acknowledges that there were no exceptional circumstances to justify building in the greenbelt. There is sufficient space for the required development on brownfield and non greenbelt sites as outlined in the new strategy. It further proposes new housing where the infrastructure of roads and existing employment already exists and can more easily and cost effectively be developed.

I appreciate what a difficult task it is to identify the correct strategy when so many stakeholders have passionate views on every side of the argument but I believe that the revised strategy complies with the all guiding principles that are set down both nationally and locally.
