My concerns for the proposed developments for the green belt land is a follows:

Impact on congestion -
The change in green belt use would inevitably cause an increase in traffic congestion, noise and pollution to the area. This could be avoided by choosing other sites that are more viable closer to Coventry which is where the demand of houses is required.

Reduction in the green lung between Leamington and Kenilworth - This will also cause an increase in congestion, noise and pollution and increase the risk of greater urban sprawl.

Ecological impact - Green belt areas provide a wealth of habitats for plants and animals.
The removal of such an environment would result in the irreplaceable loss of wildlife within the area.

Recreational use - The fields are used widely by many people for a range of purposes. Many local residents, my family included, enjoy walking the fields, exploring, taking in the fresh air and scenery, observing seasonal changes and spotting wildlife. It is a fantastic way to educate children in a way that is fun and encourages a sense of pride and appreciation in the area we live in. Should developments take place, opportunities for learning, recreation and well-being will be lost.

The requirements for councils to build on green belt areas can only be considered where 'exceptional circumstances' are given. I have yet to see suitable evidence to show that this is the case. Brown field sites should be first and formally considered before green belt areas.
