Respondent: Warwick and Leamington Green Party

In the previous consultation the Council indicated that there were brownfield sites for 8,100 homes. "From the Council's own figures, if a housing density of just 40 is assumed, then there is no need for any houses to be built on green fields." Housing densities of over 100 homes per hectare can be appropriate in town centres. Disappointed to see it is only increased it to 40. Even more disappointed the core strategy now claims that 5000 homes should be built on greenfield sites, double the number given a year ago. Advocate increases in housing density within towns.
