The proposed development of this Green Belt land to north of Leamington is to meet Coventry's housing needs when evidence shows that there are sustainable sites closer to Coventry which could be used without incurring additional commuting problems, additional congestion to Leamington, pollution and construction of roads. Additionally, given the high Green Belt value of the Milverton land, it is unacceptable to use this in preference to other available sites of lower Green Belt value.
Houses needed for Coventry should be built as close to Coventry as possible not on Green Belt land some 15 miles away, thereby spoiling the attractive entrance to L/Spa and destroying this beautiful stretch of English countryside.
A Park & Ride scheme in this area would be unsustainable as it is unlikely to be used as there is plenty of parking in L/Spa; shopping areas are spread out over the town and retail parks in south of town; proposed area for P & R is too close to L/Spa & would be better placed near A46 roundabout.
