Representation ID: 44138

Received: 04/04/2010

Respondent: Southern Windy Arbour Area Residents' Association

Representation Summary:

Permanent loss of amenity with destruction of Glasshouse Spinney (popular with local walkers), Sports Ground and the Green Belt. No local amenities within 10 minutes walking distance, no local bus service. Developing such a location is inappropriate without additional traffic management measures as roads regularly gridlock. Close proximity to HS2 preferred rail route, which given the high elevation, will add to extant substantial vehicle traffic noise from Kenilworth Bypass. Not entirely sure anyone would wish to live next to a well established mobile phone radio mast.

Permanent loss of amenity with destruction of part of Glasshouse Spinney, popular with local walkers, Sports Ground and loss of Green Belt land. No local amenities within 10 mins walking distance, no local bus service. Developing such a location is inappropriate without additional traffic management measures on Birches Lane / Glasshouse Lane. Normal working days Birches Lane / St Johns gyratory is difficult to traverse in the morning rush hour, even without the presence of road works the roundabout regularly 'gridlocks'. An exit road parallel to the Kenilworth Bypass to Crewe Lane would be very useful consequently. Close proximity to HS2 preferred rail route, which given the high elevation, will add to extant substantial vehicle traffic noise from Kenilworth Bypass. Not entirely sure anyone would wish to live next to a well established mobile phone radio mast
