Generally support RDS3 and the strategy for locating sites for development:
-The choice of sites for housing should be determined by the quality of the proposed land in both Landscape Value and Agricultural Quality terms and this is the thinking of the NPPF.
-Pleased to note that the current proposals have removed previous plans for using Green Belt land north of Leamington and Warwick. Generally support the current site allocations subject to the mitigation measures outlines in the consultation document as they appear to follow recommendations in a number of landscape character studies. Also note that most of the allocations are close to employment areas therefore potentially minimising travel to work distances.
