The loss of Greenfield land is unsustainable. As only 8100 houses are needed over the plan period this can be met from permissions already granted together with the brown field sites identified in the plan. Greenfield sites are remote from schools, shops and other services and it has not been demonstrated that proposals for transport are going to be practicable/ effective. Much of this land (south of Warwick and Leamington in particular) is high grade agricultural which we cannot afford to lose.
The Plans Greenfield allocations are excessive and unnecessary as higher densities (using less land) will be attainable on previously developed/ brownfield land. The garden suburbs are extravagant; their low densities mean more land than what is necessary is being allocated for development.
