I think this plan is unsound and not justified as it is trying to embed a large area of agricultural land into a separate commercial site which is already owned by Severn Trent and WDC. It seems that the rural fields are being reclassified as commercial land purely due to their proximity to existing commercial sites. These sites needs to be considered separately and not as a whole.

There is more than adequate commercial land available in this part of S W Warwick on the Tornament Fields site which has been available but not taken up for about 10 years. There is obviously no further demand for commercial land here. If anything there is a demand for further housing land now that the Bovis and Bellway developments on the Chase Meadow site are nearing completion. Why designate further land for commercial use when only further housing space is needed?

With so much development in this area there is a need to keep green pasture land to provide an "oxygen lung" for the Longbridge villagers and Earls Meadow and The Peacocks residents. I think commercial development of this land could well take the air pollution over the EU limits in view of the proximity of the heavy M40 traffic.
