Stoneleigh and Ashow Parish Council considers Policy DS16 is unsound as it contravenes the NPPF: There has been no Public consultation with the local community and other stakeholders concerning the removal of this land from the Green Belt.
There is no policy for a Sub Regional Employment site which is not the most appropriate strategy when considered against reasonable alternatives.
No objectively assessed need for the policy has been established or consideration undertaken for reasonable alternatives subject to sustainability appraisals. This policy should be based upon evidence including the production of a sub-regional strategy, not be justified by retrospective evidence

As current ONS figures demonstrate, WDC's housing figures are almost 30% higher than current predictions the requirement for urban expansion within the Green Belt is no longer an urgent requirement. The proposed housing site H6 demonstrates no very special circumstances for development in the Green Belt and the removal of this very important section of the A46 Green Corridor.

The Green belt sites indicated for the area of park and ride search are not sound as they are not located at a strategic close to the envelopes of the towns of Kenilworth or Leamington Spa and would create urban sprawl in the Green Belt as they will require large areas of hard surface, lighting and bus shelters. Alternative areas which are more sound should be considered as part of the area of study for the Park and Ride facility.

The list of sites proposed to be removed from the Green Belt includes "land in the vicinity of Coventry Airport (sub-regional employment site)". This change was not included in previous versions of the emerging WDC plan, The RDS explicitly argued against such a course of action. There has therefore been no prior consultation on this proposed GB change. This makes the proposed policy unsound and unjustified because the consultation process has not allowed effective engagement of interested parties.
