The Green belt sites indicated for the area of park and ride search are not sound as they are not located at a strategic close to the envelopes of the towns of Kenilworth or Leamington Spa and would create urban sprawl in the Green Belt as they will require large areas of hard surface, lighting and bus shelters. Alternative areas which are more sound should be considered as part of the area of study for the Park and Ride facility.

Paragraph Number 5.59.3.
Policy maps 5 and 12
The proposal is not sound and is
Not justified and Not consistent with National Policy.
The area of search for the Park and Ride facility to the south of Leamington are all located in green belt areas adjacent to the A452 The sites are not located on a Strategic Road Link or in an ideal position for a transport interchange.
However the Councils projections of population numbers through to 2029 are from the (SHMA of 2013) and the revised ONS data (May 2014) indicates much slower growth and the NPPF requirement to use current data to determine housing targets may allow Green Belt area previously required to meet housing short falls to be considered within the park and ride study area.
