Village Housing Options and Settlement Boundaries
Representation ID: 61071

Respondent: Mrs Jacqueline Crampton
I do not accept a further 12,300 houses are required within the plan period. These homes are not required for local people and will be taken up by incomers utilising transport links to employment elsewhere in the Midlands, London or Europe. This may well improve the economic status of the District, but at the expense of its unique character.
In particular the split of 15% for the villages underestimates their capacity, at the expense of large extensions to the built up areas of Warwick and Kenilworth, where the same tests of landscape impact do not seem to have been employed.
