Revised Development Strategy

Representation ID: 63488

Received: 29/07/2013

Respondent: Friends of the Earth

Representation Summary:

-Development and investment should be concentrated on the regeneration of the major urban centres of the region such as Coventry, Birmingham and Stoke on Trent. Development in Warwick District should be minimised to allow this to happen. Continued population growth and expansion of the smaller urban areas is not sustainable in the long term and expansion should be minimised to retain the countryside for future generations and maintain the country's future food security.

-The Council should be aware that by continuing to promote development on greenfield land, it risks destroying the quality of the environment that presently makes the District such an attractive place to live.
