Object to building houses south of Warwick:
Why did you ignore result of consultation and choose unfavoured option? Is it because developers have option on land? Why are developers taking precedence over people? Has any land been purchased by developers?
In South West and South East and East there have been legal challenges (to RSS), are you planning such an action to West Midlands strategy?
Why not buillding on brown field before green field?
Why removing area of resraint? Area of restraint was planning agreement - how can it be broken? Why first to be developed? Area will remove identity of Warwick Gates, Whitnash and Bishops Tachbrook and become large continuous urban sprawl, adversely affecting quality of life of residents.
Who will pay for extra sewage pipe for proposed new housing and necessary extra water pipes and power lines to be laid.
Why was traffic survey carried out during school holidays? Will another be carried out? How is already congested traffic situation going to improve especially when there are pinch points at bridges?
When will studies be carried out on access, schooling, utilities, sewage, policing, employment, medical provision, impact on hospital, community activities etc. Any guarantee a new school will be built?
How can planners and developers be trusted when promises reneged on at Warwick Gates and Chase Meadow? There are still 700 houses to be built at Chase Meadow.
Why more houses not allocated to villages?
Why all housing in Warwick, not around Leamington or Kenilworth or along A46 corridor where access to Coventry infrastructure and employment.
Why has Cave Report been ignored in respect of house numbers?
Why no challenge to projected growth rate of 40,000? Why has this been accepted? Have the figures been examined and assessed?
Will further consultation be allowed following 6 month deferment requested?
Why, when Kenilworth to have new station, no traffic and none of the problems of Warwick has and can support infrastructure does it not have some of the housing developement?
Why have discussions taken place with developers before people?
Why planning to build on flood plain? Householders won't be able to get insurance. Legally, flood alleviation schemes do not have to be implemented until end of scheme - could take years. Will it be condition of any development that flood alleviation measures be put in place prior to development?
Why was employment at Warwick University stated knowing that major redundancy programme starting?
