Object to unfair burden on small areas affected by proposals. Why 4000 houses proposed in vicinity of Bishops Tachbrook when 15 housing need? Re-evaluate calculations based on local population, available employment and hence population growth.
Inappropriate for few small areas to shoulder entire burden. Small amount of current population significantly and unfairly affected. Should be shared across district's towns and villages reducing impact on infrastructure. Will decimate Bishops Tachbrook and Tachbrook Mallory and is contrary to vision. Why no detailed traffic impact study or detailed infrastructure feasibility carried out? Traffic at Warwick Gates/Whitnash; problems already exist and will deteriorate further.Major amenities are on opposite side of river causing congestion on bridges and approaches. Increase in traffic using M40 junctions.
Location of proposed development near to Bishops Tachbrook.
SHLAA sites plan shows worst case scenarios in order to gain favour for preferred option, contradicting vision. Area of restraint to protect Bishops Tachbrook and Tachbrook Mallory, inadequate. Villages would be dominated by elevated housing devt. Will make development of remaining land more likely. Why can't existing boundary at Harbury Lane be retained? Loss of identity of village of Bishops Tachbrook. Should not be allowed to become a suburb of Leamington. Little sense of identity at Warwick Gates due to lack of up front planning and foresight. Proposal does not comply with vision with regard to village status of Bishops Tachbrook and Tachbrook Mallory.
