Questionnaire Response:
Royal Leamington Spa Town Council supports Alternative Site 2 being included in Warwick District Council's Core Strategy for th following reasons
1. complete rebuild of Campion School is to be welcomed. The School is doing a first class job in improving the life prospects in the area. It is unlikely the Building Schools for the Future Programme would include Campion for at least ten years. A new state‐of-the art School with the latest facilities would aid significantly the good work already being done.

2.The relocation of the School half a mile to the south still leaves it within easy walking distance of Sydenham and Brunswick.

3.The new School would be an improved community resource with sports facilities and other meeting rooms.

4.Access to the development would be from the roundabout at the top of Sydenham Drive. There is no suggestion of a southern link road as speculated in some quarters.

5.Being the other side of the railway cutting, it would have little impact on the adjacent housing in Brunswick and Whitnash. However, the existing farm road bridges would give pedestrian and cycle access.


6.The development would not be in sight, as far as we can see, of Radford Semele.


7.The Whitnash Brook Valley is proposed to be maintained with a nature trail and cycle route and will form a definite barrier to urther development.


8.There may be some legitimate concern about the impact on road capacity on the Prospect Road route and the Sydenham Drive/ Radford Road junction.


9. In conclusion, this site would have less impact in the exisiting community than other sites and should be supported.
