It is important to maintain the need to keep allotment land available around villages and not let them become expensive housing estates.

11a Warwick Gates is living proof that developers can't be trusted to deliver the promised infrastructure - the estate has been built, the houses sold but still no school - a levy would have given the residents a school then whereas now it is still just promises and no action

11b Yes, yes, yes - developers must contribute to providing green spaces/allotments and, at ratios suggested by Cllr Goode, from the beginning, not at the end - five years later. If this is not the case developers must not be given permission to build.

12a All future developments must provide for garden and growing space as an initial part of the development plan with a definite designated area allocated to allotment use.

12b The plans don't show as a percentage of space 40% of the residents wishes to protect open spaces including play areas, sports pitches, allotments. This must be seen along with housing space, employment space as green space and shown in the plan. It's vital for the local community to be given an opportunity to get into the fresh air, enjoy the healthy benefits from growing and eating own food. Leamington has over 200 people on allotment waiting lists imagine what 10,800 homes would add to these lists.
