Revised Development Strategy
Representation ID: 54017
Received: 29/07/2013
Respondent: Barford Residents Association
In RDS3 WDC claim to be distributing the development across the District. This of course means across 20% of the District as the Green Belt is not being revised. Paragraphs 4.3.4, 5 and 6 attempt to support this. The Green belt is there to prevent the spread of major conurbations into the countryside - The downside of maintaining the GB is additional development in the south, allowing Warwick and Leamington to spread and encouraging them to coalesce with villages. Putting all the development in 20% of the area of the District puts unnecessary strain on infrastructure and is not equitable.
