Revised Development Strategy
Representation ID: 53422
Received: 29/07/2013
Respondent: Mr Rod Scott
The interim level of growth selected by the Council is much higher than is wanted by the residents of Warwick District. In the original consultation in 2011 58% of the respondents were in favour of low growth. In the report on the Preferred Options consultation in 2012 97% of the respondents objected to the level of growth. The requirement for additional accommodation (if this exists) does not have to be satisfied by building new houses. There are many unoccupied houses in the District and many large houses in single occupancy because there is no suitable accommodation for the existing residents.
