As to the new Alternative Sites proposed by developers, I am still concerned about the size of these developments because many of the problems I outlined in my previous letter will only be transferred to other areas, i.e. under pressure on the infrastructure and on emergency and educational services, the destruction of green field sites and villages losing their identities. However, I do believe development should be spread throughout the District in order to prevent the overloading of the infrastructure in any one place. Therefore, I would support some development on the new alternative sites. I also think more should be done to incorporate brown-field or previously developed land before building on green fields.
Regarding these alternative sites:
1. I support the development proposal for Kenilworth Wardens and Woodside Training Centre so long as it does not extend further onto farmland.
2. I do not support the large development proposal for south of Sydenham but would support a smaller scale development. I would also like to comment that if the larger development was to go ahead the provision of a new secondary school must be guaranteed.
3. I do not support the development proposal for Glebe Farm, Cubbington as this would mean Cubbington losing its identity as a village and put pressure on a drainage system which already has problems. A limited development might be acceptable.
4. I do not support the development proposal for Loes Farm, North of Warwick, but would support a smaller development south of Loes Farm.
5. I do not support the development of ALL the land around Baginton Airport but would support the development of the large brown field site south of the airport
6. I do not support the development proposal for Hurst Farm, Burton Green, but would support an extension of the University of Warwick to include student accommodation as this would free other student housing in surrounding towns for general use.
I have seen and support the 'Alternative Option' from Bishop's Tachbrook Parish Council and recommend it to you for studying before you publish your final 'Core Strategy'.
