Object to proposal to build large number of houses between Warwick Gates and Bishops Tachbrook. View emanates from legitimate environmental, socal and economic concerns as much as personal opinion. Understand pressures to house variety of people in family units but would prefer different model.
Loss of farmland and habitats. Large scale impermeable surface increasing surface run-off.
Different components of funtional infrastructure have individual and collective capacities which will be pressurised to the point of failure if 2500 houses built with increased localised population density. Key service provision (water, sewage management, health and education) would need to be in place before completion of estates.
Traffic congestion issues and pressure points well known. Increased flow will increase prospect of everything being brought to a standstill on a more regular basis with significant economic cost.
Social ownership and responsibility prevalent in Bishops Tachbrook. Would change due to negative effects of suburbanisation. Only narrow strip of green belt would divide new settlement from Bishops Tachbrook and poisitive socio economic diversity in council's vision could be lost.
