Q-H4-1: Do you agree with the approach of contributing to meeting the Birmingham and Black Country HMA shortfall to 2031 on the identified sites in Stratford-on-Avon District?

Q-H4-2: Please add any comments you wish to make about the scale of the shortfall from the Birmingham and Black Country HMA that South Warwickshire should accommodate within the South Warwickshire Local Plan

The Green Belt around Kenilworth, Warwick, Leamington and surrounding villages is constrained by a severe lack of green space which separates these communities. Any further erosion into this precious space from Birmingham or Coventry overspill would be catastrophic. Do we really want one huge conurbation where all these communities lose their identity into an amorphous new cityscape? The area has already been damaged by HS2 and its biodiversity and sustainability severely compromised. There are major brownfield sites throughout the West Midlands which offer better alternatives.

Q-H4-3: If we are required to meet housing shortfalls from outside of South Warwickshire, how best and where should we accommodate such shortfalls?

These should fill in brownfield sites and then stay close to major conurbations from which the problem emerged.
