Revised Development Strategy

Representation ID: 56312

Received: 20/07/2013

Respondent: Elizabeth Pratt

Representation Summary:

Important that WDC stand firm on their refusal to allow building development on land to the north of Leamington. Land designated Green Belt provides 'lungs' between towns. If built on now it is easy to imagine future applications for further development until Leamington and Kenilworth become one town. Milverton area is very special and should be preserved and green spaces must be cherished.
Housing need recognised but suitable siting must be very carefully considered.

Any application from Coventry City Council to build to the south of their area should also be firmly resisted.
Development south of leamington would have less impact.

It is important that Warwick District Council stand firm on their refusal to allow building development on land to the north of Leamington. Land designated Green Belt was so planned for a reason, this being to provide 'lungs' between towns. If this land were built on now it is easy to imagine future applications for further development until Leamington and Kenilworth become one town. The area around Milverton is very special and should be preserved for future generations. We live on a crowded island and green spaces must be cherished.
That houses are needed is recognised but the suitable siting of any application must be very carefully considered , and Milverton is not such an area.
Any application from Coventry City Council to build to the south of their area should also be firmly resisted.
