It is unfair the development is being concentrated on a few specific areas, meaning some part of the District are affetced far more than others. Development should therefore be spread across the District based on local needs.

The visual impact of so many houses will be significant. A planning inspector has previously suggested that there should be no further building at Woodside Farm and WDC's landscape consultant has suggested the area to the south of Harbury Lane should not be developed. Concentration of development is being proposed for the wrong reasons - for instance to limit the number of objections and reduce the costs. But spreading houses across the District would reduce the impact infrastructure and would be in the best interests of local residents.

Brownfield sites should be used first, but not all the opportunities are being utilised - for exmple Coventry Airport and railway arches in Leamington. We should also be exploring brownfield sites across the County and West Midlands, before bringing forward greenfield sites.
