Representation Summary:

We live adjacent to very valuable green belt land which acts as a buffer between Leamington and Kenilworth. This area is a vital leisure and recreation asset to North Leamington and Warwick. It harbours important wildlife habitat including an owl population and roosting sites for bats.
The area is also prone to flooding as recently witnessed with levels at an almost record high. Building on adjacent land will only exacerbate this problem making existing riverside habitat a semi-permanent wetland.
