Not only detrimental to residents of Bishops Tachbrook, Whitnash and Warwick Gates, but also to residents of Warwick and Leamington Spa
Infrastructure:already inadequate
Water supply: poor pressure in Bishops Tachbrook after Warwick Gates built so Severn Trent had to build new pumping station.
Sewers: inadequate for village. Sewage flows into fardens onto Oakley Wood Road when torrential rain falls occur
Surface Drainage: flooding occurs on Oakley Wood Road where is crosses Tach Brook - more houses will increase problem along Tach Brook valley
Roads:
Congestion at peak times will worsen as will pollution. Traffic will increase through Bishops Tachbrook adding to speeding problems
Education: Not enough primary school places now. If more children have to travel to school, traffic will increase. Children at school outside area decreases social development of community.
Services: Police and doctors stretched now and will come under more pressure. Emergency vehicles will have to contend with congested bridges across rivers in Leamington and Warwick
Green Belt Land: In direct contradiction to Govt. policy to make Britain self sufficient in food production
Vision: Loss of village identity would contradict vision
Employment: Will be few jobs for new residents. Why build on green belt land for people to travel elsewhere to work?
Do not appear to have taken account of public opinion on options consultation when majority chose south of Coventry.
Additional housing could be located in villages, where needed.
Look for brown field sites
