Respondent: Joanna Illingworth

Representation Summary:

Although I support the use of land at Thickthorn for a mixed housing and employment development, with employment sites abutting the A46, I object to the proposals to build on Kenilworth Rugby Club unless a suitable alternative site for the club is identified in the Local Plan. If Castle Farm Leisure Centre is chosen it will result in loss of publicly accessible open space, which is in short supply in Kenilworth. Therefore new public open space must be provided on top of that required for the new development.
