Revised Development Strategy
Representation ID: 54138
Received: 29/07/2013
Respondent: Mrs Jane 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% objected to the level of growth. The requirement for additional accommodation is not driven by local need but by the government insisting that targets should be met. I hear that 'localism' is the aim - but see nothing that demonstrates it is occurring.
