Revised Development Strategy

Representation ID: 53082

Received: 17/07/2013

Respondent: Barford, Sherbourne and Wasperton Joint Parish Council

Representation Summary:

Whilst we support the concept of development on the edge of the currently developed area we are concerned that such development is almost exclusively to the south of the towns - this will have major impacts on the southern area and should be fairly distributed across the whole WDC area by imaginative manipulation of the Greenbelt policies whilst still maintaining the Greenbelt purpose of protecting the space around Birmingham. The southern sprawl should be contained and the proposed BT Country Park should be extended across the A452 as far as the A425 to meet up with Warwick Castle Park.
