Whereas I fully support the aim to widen the distribution of housing sites, the concentration of roughly a 1/3 of all planned housing in south Leamington/Warwick goes against this aim. To put add 2,900 homes (location 2,3 and 10) along or close to Europa Way will hugely exacerbate the existing traffic jams for the A452.

I strongly object the 1600 homes planned for location 3 - South of Gallows Hill/West of Europa Way. Apart from the traffic congestion this will cause, this development will totally change the aspect and rural approach to Warwick and Leamington from the south.

It presents a housing nucleus that occupies former farming land and will encourage future expansion south of Park Farm and east towards New House and Grove farms.
