Revised Development Strategy

Representation ID: 59350

Received: 04/07/2013

Respondent: Mr Clifford Young

Representation Summary:

Objected to the Council's previous developments plans but believes the RDS is as fair a compromise as would have expected under the circumstances and is happy to offer support.

Whilst sympathising with those who object to the increased use of Brownfield and non-Green Belt land to the South of Leamington/Warwick and Whitnash it far preferable to fully utilise this land before developing Green Belt land.

Also considers that the existing transportation links to the South of our district are better able to support the projected increases in traffic volumes without having to build new roads such as the (now withdrawn) Northern Relief Road.

Speaking as one of those residents who objected to the Council's original developments plans I would like to say that I believe your Revised Strategy is as fair a compromise as I would have expected under the circumstances and I am now happy to offer my support.

While I sympathise with those who object to the increased use of Brownfield and non-Green Belt land to the South of Leamington/Warwick and Whitnash I think it far preferable to fully utilise this land before developing Green Belt land, particularly where no Exceptional Circumstances exist for such development to take place. I also feel that the existing transportation links to the South of our district are better able to support the projected increases in traffic volumes without having to build new roads such as the (now withdrawn) Northern Relief Road.
