Major Investment Sites (MIS8 and MIS9) are at risk of serious conflict with the Overarching Principles. Increased vehicle/HGV traffic on the A429 is inevitable and traffic associated with both sites is likely to spill over to the Charlecote and Hampton Lucy roads and villages and the vicinity of Charlecote Park.

The outline plans for the Warwick University Campus include buildings completely out of character with the neighbouring countryside farmed landscape, particularly the multistorey carpark but also the general layout of the campus as a corporate parkland dotted with buildings. There must be concern about light pollution, loss of biodiversity and loss of amenity for local residents and communities.

In terms of the expansion of the research base from the focus on bioscience to engineering etc. and the huge projected increase in staffing could it be that this is a development that would be better located at the main Warwick University Campus rather than in rural South Warwickshire ?
