Respondent: Mr Stuart Oldham

Representation Summary:

Chosen sites and the number of pitches finally implemented should be equitably spread over the District area, even if it means making exceptions within the Green Belt.

I wish to OBJECT to the inclusion of Site GT11 (Land adjacent to Budbrooke Lodge, Warwick Racecourse and Hampton Road).

I intend to submit further details of my objection, with grounds, in due course.

I reserve my position on the remaining sites at this stage.

More generally, I would further comment that whilst 8 (40%) of the 20 listed sites are in the south west of the District, and 16 (80%) in the south, it is important that both sites and pitch quotas finally chosen for implementation reflect a much more equitable spatial distribution, even if this means making exceptions within the Green Belt.


Finally, please note that with regard to the sites adjacent to A46,
GT17 and GT18 - Southbound is East, and Northbound is West, but these are transposed in your documentation, which is confusing.
