Paragraph 4.4 Housing Allocations
RDS5

It is noted that since the June/July 2012 Consultation, the housing allocations in the Category 1 villages have risen from 500 to 600. Radford Semele along with the other 6 villages has had it's allocation increased from 100, to 100-150. The Cat.1 villages have identical allocations and should the maximum be pursued then the total would be 750. This figure would be 150 in excess of the 600 as stated in Paragaph 4.4.
It is difficult to do anything else but object in a broad manner, as there are no specific sites, numbers etc. upon which one can comment.
The village infrastructure would find it difficult to cope with such an amount of development and still retain it's village identity. Minimal school places available, flooding in certain areas, foul drains unable to cope, traffic congestion, lack of parking. In this day and age, the minimum of 100 houses is likely to produce somewhere in the region of 200 cars. The local roads are congested already and the possibility of 200+ cars attempting to access the A425, Southam Road, at peak times is, quite honestly, incomprehensible. Para. 4.4, RDS5 is in reality an outline planning application seeking permission from interested parties. That being the case, and in the true interests of democracy, I place my objection on record.
