Respondent: The Leamington Society

Representation Summary:

Not convinced that District should be required to find land for 10,800 (or more) new homes. Previously argued for a reduction in the level of outmigration from the major urban areas. The projected population growth is unrealistic because it assumes continuing in-migration at the rate prevailing between 2001 and 2006 when house building was allowed greatly to exceed local needs. The towns in Warwick District will become merely part of an increasingly sprawling West Midlands Conurbation, based on growing and unsustainable car use, and destroying the qualities of the towns.
