Revised Development Strategy

Representation ID: 53414

Received: 24/07/2013

Respondent: Mr Richard Emmett

Representation Summary:

I object to the proposal to build 4,550 houses on land on the edge of Warwick, Leamington and Whitnash. This accounts for 68.8 per cent of the total development and is excessive.

This level of development would create a continuous sprawl of housing that would change the character of the area, increase traffic and worsen congestion to unsustainable levels and worsen air quality in Warwick where pollution levels are already excessive. It would also encourage many more people to move into the area rather than provide appropriate types of homes to meet the needs of local people.
