Revised Development Strategy
Representation ID: 54020
Received: 28/07/2013
Respondent: St Chad's Parochial Church Council
The objective of building over a 15 year period some 12,000 houses, of which 70% are planned to be constructed south of Warwick and Leamington Spa is not sustainable because:
* This level of development represents the equivalent of building a new Bishop's Tachbrook village every two years in the vicinity over the life of the Plan.
* The local need for new housing requires less than half this level of development (i.e. less than 6,000 houses).
* Little consideration appears to have been given to the difficulties in fostering community life on the recently completed Warwick Gates.
