The proposals for P&R at Blackdown are not consistent with national policy (NPPF para 80 and 90) and/or are not justified.
Locating a P&R here is inconsistent with the Local Plan spatial strategy which concentrates development to the south of the towns. There is no proven justification for a P&R here.
The STA phase justifies a P&R to the south of Leamington and Warwick. However, none of the reasons given for this apply to the north of Leamington - it is not close to development; it does not serve both towns and bus priority measures have not been identified.
If a P&R were justified north of Leamington it should be located close to the A46 junction.
The land at Balckdown has been identified as high landscape value and the area is mainly residential in nature.
