1) It is imperative to maintain and protect in its entirety the existing Green Belt between Coventry and Kenilworth to prevent the otherwise inevitable spread of Coventry until it eventually consumes the whole of Kenilworth and Burton Green into its boundary and control.
2) Developing Hurst Farm would effectively isolate Warwick University within an expanding urban sprawl and curtail its existing semi rural location and easy student access to neighbouring countryside.
3) The proposed High Speed 2 Rail Link would further exasperate the threats outlined in 1 and 2 in the event that the Hurst Farm housing development was approved.
Questionnaire Response:
I object to the development of Hurst Farm South, Burton Green for the following reasons:
1) It is imperative that Warwick District Council acts to maintain and protect in it's entirety the existing Green Belt between Coventry and Kenilworth to prevent the otherwise inevitable spread of Coventry until it eventually consumes the whole of Kenilworth and Burton Green into its boundary and control.
2) Developing Hurst Farm would effectively isolate Warwick University within an expanding urban sprawl and curtail its existing semi rural location and easy student access to neighbouring countryside to walk and observe nature, arable farming and animal husbandry.
3) The proposed High Speed 2 Rail Link would further exasperate the threats outlined in 1 and 2 in the event that the Hurst Farm housing development was approved.
