Full text:

firstly this site acts as a flood plain to prevent flooding, in a known suseptable area, it is green belt land, the government inspector found in favour of no development on this site, there are underground power cables which make it unsuitable for development.
local children do not have priority to attend the local school, priority is given to Warwick Gates, the vast majority of children are ferried to school by car, and local children also have to go to alternative schools by car. The roads and parking are overloaded now, and what provision will be made for children from the proposed site.
Harbury lane / Fosseway werenot built for the volume of traffic now using them, and are designated accident black spots.
The total infrastructure of the Whitnash is overloaded by past development and therefore should only be used as a last resort.
There are many brown field sites in the local area that can support additional housing and school places, why is the Whitnash area in phase 1.
The plan needs to be revisited with attention paid to available services to support development before final decisions are taken.
