Support the references to facilitating and providing for growth both in respect of the local economy and housing needs.

However, note the reference under the heading of "social" to the delivery of 550 new homes per annum on new allocated sites.

This annual requirement does not appear to correlate with the information provided in Section 4 of the RDS and therefore clarification is required.

Suggest deletion of a precise figure as part of the vision in future iterations of the Local plan which will remove any concerns about a prejudicial approach to the process.

Support the principle under the heading "Environment", to avoid coalescence between settlements.

Consider that this has been reflected effectively in the RDS in terms of the newly proposed spatial distribution of development. This, more effectively, avoids coalescence of settlements having regard to Paragraph 80 of the NPPF by no longer proposing development to the north / north west of Leamington Spa on land located within the Green Belt.
