Revised Development Strategy

Representation ID: 54230

Received: 29/07/2013

Respondent: Mr. Roy Drew

Representation Summary:

This is a step on the way to coalescence of settlements leading to absorption of Bishop's Tachbrook into the Warwick/Leamington/Whitnash connurbation. The visual impact from across the Tach Brook valley would destroy the effectiveness of the proposed Country Park.
It can't be right for the nation's food security that such productive agricultural land should be lost for ever. Past assessments recommended that neither Woodside Farm nor South of Gallows Hill should be developed.
Concentrating development South of river, canal and railway will, with so few crossing-points, exacerbate already dire traffic congestion: there is near-gridlock at some times of day.
