PO12: Climate Change
Representation ID: 48994
Received: 16/10/2012
Respondent: Friends of the Earth
Support this, but aspects of it need to be clarified.
Increase in population may undermine efforts to reduce CO2 - so development needs to be minimised and locations selected to minimise the need to travel.

Preferred Option: Sustainable forms for transport
Representation ID: 48995
Received: 16/10/2012
Respondent: Friends of the Earth
Support this proposed policy especially regarding minimising the need to travel. Increased fuel costs make it more likely that local people will take local jobs.
strongly support the proposals in the Draft Infrastructure Plan for Sustainable Travel Infrastructure. We support the suggestion of bus lanes and bus priority schemes to encourage modal shift between Kenilworth and Leamington and encourage this to be also considered on other routes.
We do not support a proposed Leamington Northern Relief Road as we believe it has potential to encourage more private car movements rather than reducing the need to travel or encouraging more sustainable forms of transport. It seems contradictory to other proposed sustainable travel improvements

PO15: Green Infrastructure
Representation ID: 48997
Received: 16/10/2012
Respondent: Friends of the Earth
Support this proposed policy and would encourage the Council to continue to use studies of the landscape character and biodiversity value to inform the location of potential development sites - it is important that areas of high landscape value are conserved for the future.

PO16: Green Belt
Representation ID: 48998
Received: 16/10/2012
Respondent: Friends of the Earth
Once established, Green Belt boundaries should only be altered in exceptional
circumstances, through the preparation or review of the Local Plan. Preferred Option does not give enough regard to the existing Green Belt designation.
The extent of the development proposed has not been sufficiently justified.
New housing development, if necessary, would be more sustainable if concentrated on the southern side of the towns closer to the majority of the existing employment sites.
Proposals do not meet the requirements of the NPPF.

Tourism
Representation ID: 48999
Received: 16/10/2012
Respondent: Friends of the Earth
Support the wording 'the development of new buildings for visitor accommodation will be considered favourably in locations which are accessible to visitors by means other than the private car and can be developed sensitively in the rural area. Outside of these locations, new visitor accommodation will not be permitted,'
