I object because:
1.The Exceptional Circumstances required by the NPP Framework to justify removal of greenbelt land have not been demonstrated. This is because there are other , better and nearer sites to support Coventry's housing needs. These have already been identified by WDC in conjunction with Coventry CC These have been identified and are available, though of course the developers will not be as keen on selling houses with a Coventry tag.
The justification for releasing land from the Green Belt requires that those sites with the least Green Belt value be removed first. The Green Belt land at Milverton should be one of the last on the list.

2. If the houses are for Coventry's needs then they are in the wrong place, leading to more traffic congestion in traveling to Coventry.

3. The proposed railway station will not work as there is a deep cutting where it is proposed. A bypass on the track would be needed anyway, for local trains to pick up and set down while the Virgin expresses came through. So even more land required. Coventry is a fair sized city. Do the proposers really imagine that commuters will travel by train to the centre of Coventry ,to then fan out into the city? So what good will the station be for Coventry's housing needs?

4. The proposals include some light industry. It is a good idea for people to live near their work. But how is light industry, which is in the plan, going to address Coventry's housing needs?

5. The area is great for walkers and we see it well used. The prime farmland is an important resource as are the wildlife habitats.

6. The green space between Leamington and Warwick will be further reduced . the pleasant approach to the North end of Leamington Spa will be seriously affected. Green Belt is what it is: a "green belt' separating one area of development from another and should not be eroded.
