Support the RDS, and particular the absence of development on the North Leamington Green Belt around Milverton and Blackdown:

* a fair distribution of new housing across the District, including plans for new houses in the Green Belt at Thickthorn and Lillington as well as proposed development in villages
* however further use of Green Belt would be unsustainable.
* The exclusion of development in the North Leamington Green Belt enables the plan to comply with the NPPF.
* Any attempt to re-introduce further development in the North Leamington Green Belt would be unacceptable as no exceptional circumstances exist for any additional development in the north Leamington greenbelt.
* The land is a vital and immeasurable resource for the future of the district and is critical to its future sustainabllity.

* If the Joint SHMA identifies that it is necessary to increase the number of houses above those currently proposed there is sufficient non Green Belt land to accommodate this additional development.

* Having the majority of the development in the South reduces traffic congestion and reduces air pollution; it enables better provision of public services such as schools and other facilities such as infrastructure along with better access to the employment hubs in the South.

* It will also mean that it will enable the concentration of the majority of the funds from the CIL to be in one area thus providing better value for money allowing a better result from the spending of the CIL for more residents.

* the new Country Park to the South of Warwick and Whitnash should be relocated to allow easier access for the residents from both sides of the parkland rather than just benefiting the new development, thus creating a green lung and reducing pollution.

* Moving it would encourage more residents to benefit from the ease of having recreational ground near to them thus promoting healthy living and giving the existing houses a buffer from the new development.
