Alternative Sites Consultation

Representation ID: 44345

Received: 09/04/2010

Respondent: Mr and Mrs P.M. Tacon

Representation Summary:

It would erode the carefully preserved 'Green Belt' between Kenilworth and Coventry. The roads as they are would prove inadequate to cope with the additional traffic. There are already queues of traffic on at peak times-these queues would be made much worse if this site was developed. It seems extremely unlikely there would be sufficient capacity without significant expansion of existing Kenilworth schools or other facilities. Travel to Kenilworth/Coventry for schools and medical facilities would exacerbate the traffic problems created. PLEASE DO NOT CONSIDER THIS SITE.

We wish to register our objection to this proposed site. It would use 100% 'greenfield' site for house building and erode the carefully preserved 'Green Belt' between Kenilworth and Coventry. The roads as they are would prove inadequate to cope with the additional traffic-e.g. Crackley Lane, Bockendon Road. There are already queues of traffic on Gibbet Hill Road and Stoneleigh Road at peak times-these queues would be made much, much worse if this site was developed for housing. In addition what plans are there for schooling, medical centres and public transport? It seems extremely unlikely there would be sufficient capacity without significant expansion of existing Kenilworth schools for example. Where would the resources required come from? Travel to Kenilworth/Coventry for schools and medical facilities would exacerbate the traffic problems created. PLEASE DO NOT CONSIDER THIS SITE.
