Objects to Core Strategy in present form as it appears that none of proposed developments has any benefit for commercial activity of the town.
Preferred option to "direct retail, leisure and office growth to town centres" but there is little evidence that this will come to Warwick. Objective of further and rapid retail growth in Leamington puts Warwick at further disadvantage.
Appears to be no new employment opportunities suggested for Warwick and therefore no economic benefits for Warwick retailers and businesses from those employees.
Suggested siting of housing developments puts Warwick at disadvantage commercially with no clear vision of how people can access Warwick. No mention of improved public transport to Warwick and must be assumed that most of new residents and employees will use cars to access out of town retail.
