Representation Summary:

The plan is currenly far to vague and doesn't go into sufficient detail as to how traffic will be managed on the existing infrastructure.

Full text:

The provision of housing here has long been tempting as it is a "perfect spot" for infill. However the infrastructure cannot cope. With the plan stating there will be no need for further bridges across the A46 it is implicit that all 770 houses will disgorge onto Glasshouse / Birches Lane which currently struggles at peak times and has accident black spots at the Courtaulds bend, Rocky Lane and Windy Arbour. If the plan is to put housing here it must consider how traffic is to get into Kenilworth and should also consider how to stop Kenilworth being used as a shortcut rat run through to the M6. The unique character of the area is that they are Lanes and the housing behind if "affordable" could seriously damage the character and saleability of these properties. In addition to this you are proposing the wholesale destruction of Glasshouse Spinney, a nature reserve, and green route through to the Stoneleigh Estate and Ashow. Will Rocky Lane be kept as it is, or upgraded? Your plan is to vague.
