In light of this, it is evident that an allocation at Old Milverton will not meet the needs of Coventry. Moreover, a strategic allocation at this location will not address the issue of in-commuting to Coventry, thus placing additional pressure on sustainable travel patterns and air quality. In particular, the suggestion of a park and ride facility is not justified given the location from the main commuter routes and planned expansion of car park capacity within Leamington.

It is the position of Old Milverton and Blackdown Joint Parish Council that the proposed strategic allocation at Old Milverton and the proposed safeguarded land will not meet the needs of Coventry and is not suitable for such purposes.

t is clear that the allocation and safeguarding of land at Milverton is not a sustainable response to meeting the needs of Coventry. Therefore, it must be assumed that this is identified to meet the current and future needs of Warwick.

It is considered that the most suitable and sustainable areas that can facilitate Warwick District's additional housing allocations are to the south of Warwick where there is sufficient unconstrained land to accommodate both the Local Plan requirement to 2029 and to cover the period to 2031

In allocating the land at Old Milverton to be released from the Green Belt, it is apparent that there has been no such sequential test as the Green Belt Study identifies this land as making a significant contribution to the Green Belt. Neither is this area 'degraded urban fringe' given that it is high quality agricultural land (Grade 2) and actively managed countryside providing access to the public. Whilst the Council's Distribution of Development paper suggests that there are no further suitable and deliverable sites on the edge of Coventry, this is not supported with sufficient evidence.
