The removal of land from the green belt north of Leamington is not compliant with the NPPF as the exceptional circumstances have not been demonstrated by Warwick District Council.
The proposed housing is to meet Coventry's housing need and the Milverton site is too far from Coventry. This housing would be best re-located nearer Coventry/ edge of Coventry.
There is very little green belt land left between Coventry and Leamington and the two towns must not be allowed to merge.
The land north of Leamington is good for farming and locally sourced food options are high on the governments agenda. It should not be lost to development.
The area north of Leamington is also a valuable recreational resource and is used by many locally. Accessibility to green spaces is an important matter that should not be overlooked.
the land in question is also subject to flooding, new building will exacerbate this matter with more run -off from built development. Alternative housing sites should be utilised.
