Alternative Sites Consultation

Representation ID: 43572

Received: 28/02/2010

Respondent: Mr Ian Clarke

Representation Summary:

Development is inappropriate due to Green Belt, traffic impact, and precedent to allow urban sprawl.

Full text:

I object for the following reasons:
1. If the land is designated Green Belt, development is wholly inappropriate and contrary to the original principles of preventing urban sprawl.
2. The A46/A429 junction, and the A429 into Warwick, experience considerable traffic congestion in the AM and PM peaks. Additional traffic cannot be accommodated on the existing network without further deterioration in journey times, increase in emissions and reduction in quality of life for local residents.
3. Development to the west of the A46 would extend the urban area beyond the (de facto) boundary represented by the A46 and hence set an unacceptable precedent for further development to 'jump' the A46.
