I understand that the National Planning Policy Framework requires demonstration of Exceptional Circumstances in order to remove the land to the North of Milverton from the Green Belt; as such relevant Exceptional Circumstances are not proven. The proposed development has been a response to an approach from Coventry City Council who suggest that they need support to meet their housing need. However, there are many sites much closer to Coventry which would be favourable alternatives to the proposed use of land in Leamington. The proposed development would inevitably create urban sprawl without good solid reason or foundation.
