The increase in the level of housing to be provided for in the Plan period as between the Revised Development Strategy and the Publication Draft has necessitated an increased provision being made in and on the edge of Kenilworth, together with a major education allocation at Southcrest Farm, with a consequent removal of land from the Green Belt.

Representation 57673 submitted in response to the RDS promoted land to the north of Crew Lane and east of Glasshouse Lane as a suitable location to provide a choice of smaller sites for those wishing to live in Kenilworth. They are at the edge of the urban area and will, if the Plan is adopted in its present form, will be adjacent to Site ED2 at Southcrest Farm. Their Green Belt function will, therefore, be diminished to a material extent.
