Significant concerns regarding the Council's strategy for the broad location of development.

The Plan is clear that Green Belt should be regarded as a last resort, in circumstances where all non-Green Belt alternative sites have been exhausted. Having regarding to the Council's important Duty to Co-operate, and the need to meet the full objectively assessed housing needs, the Council should consider alternative non-Green Belt sites, not only within their administrative boundary, but also in relation to neighbouring authorities.

An alternative option available is to consider less sensitive Green Belt release: alternatively to direct housing to meet Warwick District's housing requirements in a sustainable manner. This approach would avoid the need for the release the significant tract of land on the edge of Kenilworth.
