Developing the whole area south of Warwick is unnecessary and will create huge congestion, destroying a pleasant environment.
The development of this whole area south of Warwick for over 3,000 homes at one time is excessive. It places huge requirements for new infrastructure which will change the nature of this area for all time. Currently the density is quite low and new estates such as the one at Chase meadow, are very compact and crowded. Assumptions about car ownership are wrong - most houses around here have at least 2 cars and the new developments do not account for this. Many households now have working children unable to afford to move out and 3, or 4 cars are not uncommon in an economically active home!
The idea that a bit of landscaping around the edges will mitigate this is inaccurate - the developers densities take this into account and 3 storey homes which are out of character will be built. This will not look like a garden suburb, it will be dense, car littered and create huge congestion on local roads - Myton Road in particular, and Warwick High St and castle bridge will not be able to cope.
