Alternative Sites Consultation

Representation ID: 44236

Received: 08/04/2010

Respondent: Kenilworth Society

Representation Summary:

Green belt land in the Thickthorn area has already been identified as suitable for development.

A further allocation in this area would impose severe strains on the local infrastructure. Glasshouse Lane, Crewe Lane, Dalehouse Lane and A46 Stoneleigh and Thickthorn Roundabouts are heavily used now and struggling to meet demand. There are also serious concerns that large scale new development will bring about a re-occurrence of drainage problems that affected Ashow in the past.

There is a lack of public transport in South Eastern Kenilworth as none of the major transport routes run through this area.
