Alternative Sites Consultation

Representation ID: 43737

Received: 22/03/2010

Respondent: Professor James Beckford

Representation Summary:

The proposed development would have only harmful effects on the quality of life enjoyed by the residents of Kenilworth. It would add to traffic congestion on Birches Lane and the Leamington Road; it would rob the town of much needed green and open space; it would destroy the peace of Rocky Lane; and the houses would be too close to the A46. In fact, the proposal is incompatible with section 12 of the Core Strategy document with regard to open space. No further development should be permitted on the eastern side of Kenilworth.
