Revised Development Strategy

Representation ID: 53866

Received: 28/07/2013

Respondent: Mrs Jacqueline Crampton

Representation Summary:

Object strongly to allocation of "sites south of Warwick". This is an over intensive development of an area which the previous Planning Inspector said should be protected and not allowed to grow towards M40. It creates a demand for infrastructure which will ruin the environment. Putting 2 lanes on the Banbury Road will require the destruction of ancient hedgerows and trees, and together with the dualling of Europa Way turns Warwick into a ghastly new town- estates of tacky houses separated by identikit roadways. Warwick is a wonderful historic town and its approach was enjoyed by Shakespeare, the view down from Gallows Hill to Castle Bridge should not be opened up and built over. The impression that this creates a garden suburb is a deceit.
Smaller developments across the district can be assimilated by their communities..
