Alternative Sites Consultation

Representation ID: 43974

Received: 07/04/2010

Respondent: Mrs Rachel A Smith

Representation Summary:

I am particularly worried about the trees and hedgerows around this proposed site.

I am sure we have met our housing targets as set out by the Government.

I believe we cannot sustain any more houses as our services are already overstretched.

It is a green belt area.

It will increase traffic on the Coventry Road.

Being able to go into the countryside is beneficial for our health and but it is being destroyed in many districts.

Our district is currently being built on.

I am particularly worried about the trees and hedgerows around this proposed site. I believe these must be protected to ensure that our children can benefit from the beauty of the countryside and understand the Natural World.

I am sure we have met our housing targets as set out by the Government, but the targets keep getting moved we have, I feel done our share in the county.

I believe we cannot sustain any more houses as our schools, doctors, hospitals are already overstretched.

It seems there is no protection at all these days for green belt areas. If this proposal goes ahead the impact on the Coventry Road will make this road busier than it already is. The speed limit already being lowered to help the residents on this road to gain access to their properties safely.

What about the environment, wildlife, a country lane to walk along with our children and grandchildren. Being able to go into the countryside is beneficial for our health and stress levels and we need our future children to understand the natural world. Already hedgerows, woods are being destroyed in many districts these we must preserve for the future for everyone to enjoy.

I just wonder whether this particular area has any Historical or Archaeological interest?

I believe there are still areas in our district still being built on Chase Meadow, the site by the canal in Warwick and Pottertons so surely enough is enough.
