Object to sites south of Warwick.
Population already increased more than county or nationally.
Will considerably increase traffic flow. Proposal to modify island at Banbury Rd/Myton Rd juntion will not improve situation as the problem is historic town where traffic has been slowed further by traffic calming.
Considerable work needed to infrastructure.
Development west of Europa Way would be in green buffer which separates Warwick from Leamington to prevent urban sprawl.
I have been advised to write to you re new objections to the Core Strategy Plan.
I wish to object to the expansion plan to build 2700 new houses to the south of Warwick.
Warwick District population has already increased in the last eleven years by more than twice the Warwickshire and the national average.
This development will considerably increase the traffic "flow" in Warwick, which is already at a standstill at peak times. The proposal to modify the island at the Banbury Road / Myton Road junction will not improve this flow as the problem is in the historic town, where it has recently been further slowed by the traffic calming measures in the town.
Considerable work will be required to the infrastructure as water, sewage, drainage etc are already at full capacity.
This development to the west of Europa Way would be in the supposed untouchable green buffer zone which was supposed to separate Warwick from Leamington Spa, to prevent it being one urban sprawl.
I would therefore ask Warwick District Council to reject this proposal.
