-Welcome the proposals for Green Infrastructure in all new development and in particular a country park along the Tach Brook and nature reserve at Whitnash Brook.

-Strongly support proposals to retain/replace hedgerows which are essential for every new development.
-There needs to also be a strategic landscape corridor along the route of Europa Way and other main distributor roads as this will; to some extent mitigate the loss of greenfields in this area, secure a wildlife corridor linking the Tach Brook with the River Leam and Grand Union Canal and provide an attractive route into Leamington from the south.

-Any planning consent should ensure the provision for infrastructure requirements (i.e. shops, local centres and community facilities) are constructed and open at an early stage of any development.
