Received: 28/07/2013

Respondent: M.B. Winn

Representation Summary:

Objects to any building in the north of Leamington around Milverton/Old Milverton:
* Cannot see any reason why the green belt should be built upon;
* The area off Old Milverton Road is used for exercise (walkers, joggers and dog walkers);
* Any building would mean that Leamington, Kenilworth and Warwick will just merge into one sprawling blob;
* this end of Leamington is saturated with housing;
* the allotments must remain;
* any development in this area will mean additional infrastructure which will further degrade the area;
* any housing would be on higher ground and would dominate the houses and the landscape;
* once the area is developed it will be gone FOREVER;
* Green spaces, are our 'lung';
* further building here will negate reasons why people want to come to Leamington.

* I cannot see any reason why the green belt should be built upon.
* The area off Old Milverton Road is used for exercise (walkers, joggers and dog walkers). The fields are heavily used in this way and have many public footpaths crossing them.
* Any building would mean that Leamington, Kenilworth and Warwick will just merge into one sprawling blob. This will not be attractive to those wanting to continue their businesses in Leamington.
* We need to keep Leamington attractiver and to provide for a range of housing. I understand that Londoners thinking of moving to the area complain that there is not enough
* this end of Leamington is saturated with housing
* the allotments must remain.
* any development in this area will mean additional infrastucture which will further degrade the area (roads,schools, waste collections etc)
* any housing would be on higher ground than the existing ones and would dominate the houses and the landscape
* once the area is developed it will be gone FOREVER
* we need our green spaces, we need our 'lung'.
* if there is further building here the reasons why people want to come to Leamington will be negated.
I would argue that we need so many more houses in this area anyway.
