1, Traffic on Glasshouse and Birches Lane is already heavy. The proposed infrastructure will not prevent increased traffic on these roads as this will be the most direct route into Kenilworth town centre. Traffic flow should be restricted to prevent roads from Glasshouse Lane becoming secondary accesses. Access and exits must focus on the spine road.
2, The density of the development appears to be high. The scale and density of the dwellings should be in keeping with the current neighbourhood.
3, The entrance to the Rugby club is not suitable for vehicular access and should be restricted to a small area of the development.
4, As the area is greenbelt at the moment any proposed development should reflect the open character of the area. It should not prejudice the open landscape character of this part of Kenilworth.
5, Existing open spaces should be maintained. The Rugby club and Kenilworth Wardens would be ideally placed to provide the open spaces proposed in the consultation document.
6, The height of proposed dwellings should be in keeping with current residential development. Therefore no buildings should exceed 2 stories. Flats and apartments will not be in keeping, all properties should be detached or semi-detached.
7, The school would be more appropriately positioned in the middle of the development to allow people the opportunity to walk rather than increasing the use of cars unnecessarily.
8, The development should be undertaken as a sustainable development. The water run-off rate must not exceed the greenfield run-off rate and should incorporate sustainable urban drainage.
9, All proposals should take into account nature conservation.
10, All existing trees and hedgerows should be protected, especially those which run along the backs of Glasshouse Lane and Birches Lane.
11, As the number of homes directly affected by the development is relatively small these homes should be treated sympathetically and only homes of a similar character placed nearby or directly behind.
