I consider that there are immense benefits to incremental expansion. With this in mind it will be effective to consider the following alternative options.
- The proposal to develop the Kenilworth Thickthorn area, in a modest way appears to be a logical extension to existing development.
- I do not support the blanked development proposal for the South of Sydenham, but I submit that development north of the bridleway to Radford Semele would be acceptable.
- I do not support the development proposal at Glebe Farm, Cubbington. However, development of the north-western corner adjacent to Cubbington would be acceptable.
- I oppose the proposal to develop at Loes Farm (north Warwick). However, I believe that a small development close to the Saxon Mill would be appropriate.
- The envisaged development at Hurst Farm, Burton Green, would, I believe, be detrimental to the overall area, but I do accept that a small extension of the University of Warwick would be appropriate.
- Regarding the land around Baginton Airport, I oppose, but I do accept that development of the large brown-field site south of the airport would be acceptable.
My comments take into account the necessity to preserve first-class farmland.
I have read the 'Alternative Option' from Bishop's Tachbrook Parish Council. I commend it to you for study before you publish your final 'Core Strategy'
I am of an age when the implementation of these planned development will have little effect on my personal situation. However, the sustenance of established communities is very close to my heart.
