We are writing to express our concern at the level of proposed new housing in south leamington. We live in Bishops Tachbrook which has long fought to maintain its village status and we feel this is slowly slipping away. We feel very strongly that the amount of proposed new housing will have a tremendous negative impact on the area - the road system will not cope and nor will local facilities. Also we feel that North Leamington is escaping any of this upset and we feel the housing should be more evenly distributed - we also feel the amount of housing is far too high. How many houses in the area are let to students that could be used for the housing market. More purpose built accommodation could then be built for students ,which would greatly reduce the amount of land required.
There are also great concerns about the sites that are being looked at for traveller sites - alot of these are around Tachbrook and again north leamington is not to be inconvenienced!Why do the council have to supply 25 out of 31 pitches in the first five years and how do they expect local schools to cope with this? We hope you will listen to our concerns and think again about this plan.
