Whitnash is already a peculiarly shaped and poorly accessed urban extension. This large development will add an extension to the extension, taking the village across the railway to the east and harming the rural approach to Leamington which is important from the south - east of the railway is wholly rural now. It is noticeable that there is no proposal for a railway station to serve it.

This location is for housing in the Green Belt. This is not justified and not in accordance with national planning policy. Need for housing will rarely be sufficient to constitute the very special circumstances required for inappropriate development in the Green Belt. Taken together, development of the H27 and H51 plots for housing would represent a huge extension of the village into Green Belt and open countryside to the south and east, and undermine the gap between Hampton Magna and Warwick which remains important visdally, and effective. Hampton Magna was development vas a previously-developed site in the Green Belt, being the old Warwickshire Regiment Hampton Barracks, 50 years ago. It was not allowed to spread onto open land then. No extension should be allowed now.
