The continued loss of greenfield land and open space is unsustainable. The launch of ill thought out plans will be irreversible.
If we accept only 8,100 houses are needed to meet the needs over the next 18 years we can show that this need can be met from the permissions already granted together with the brown field sites identified in the plan. We would maintain also that the greenfield sites are remote from schools, retail and other services and it has not been demonstrated that the proposals for sustainable transport are going to be practicable or effective. Sadly, much of the land allocated for development in the south of Warwick is some of the highest grade agricultural land, the loss of which we cannot afford.
It has been illustrated and documented with other inappropriate policy breaking sequence of events, culminating in the destruction of the Emscote Gardens Flood Defence (CV344QB), mostly a WDC asset, if there is the less than courageous capability for that, then there is a great capacity for the most spectacular of blunders.
