The Green Wedge initiative is supported in principle. However, we do not believe that the existing playing fields associated with school's located off Myton Road accord with the stated purpose of designated Green Wedges and therefore the proposed designation of this land should be deleted from Map 6.
We acknowledge the Council's intention to identify and protect within the District a number of green wedges which are considered "important for their ecological, landscape and/or access functions in the setting of different urban areas and urban fringes". While we support this initiative, we do not believe that the existing playing fields associated with school's located off Myton Road accord with the stated purpose of designated 'Green Wedges" and instead represent a remnant of the former wider AOR designation in the area. For these reasons we believe that the playing fields should not be taken forward for possible consideration as a 'Green Wedge' in the next version of the Plan. Any proposed Green Wedge designation will, by the time of the examination in to the Plan, need to be justified and supported by an appropriate evidence base.

I think the Strategic Green Improvement Area around Kenilworth Castle should be extended westwards to join the Wroxall Abbey/Hay Wood area and continue to include the National Trust properties at Baddesley Clinton and Packwood.
There are a number of small woods in this area that can act as stepping stones along a woodland-parkland corridor that would be in accordance with the principles outlined in the Natural Environment White Paper. A major East-West wildlife corridor would be a major asset to the district.
