Representation Summary:

Over development of South of the river, infrastructure not able to cope with the additional traffic. Development based on antiquated zoning of the land from the 1970's when Warwick was so different

Full text:

Disproportionate amount of development to the South of Leamington. compleete disregard for the traffic flow and the limited points to cross the river and the fact that the majority of recent development, has been at Warwick Gates and around Whitnash, the continued devaluation of what was once an attractive village with a conservation area. the disregard of more obvious places to the North of the town where easy access to A46 and the new Gateway employment location and tghe more realistic possibiltiy of making the kenilworth road a dual carriageway and not Europa way which will clearly create a bottle neck as it reaches the retail park and the excessive nuimber pof supermarkets allready causing chaos in a 300metre squared area. The The complete refusal to consider the problem of getting mujch of the additional traffic through Leamignton or Warwcik. The burden put on Whitnash and the surrounding area is uinreasonable and the infrastructure cannot cope with it.

The only justification for this ecessive development is based on the zoning of land back in the 1970's which clearly bears no resemblance to the Wawrickl district of today. The review of zoning would be a fairer and more sensible approach to establishing a New Local Plan whioch willserve warwick district well, not one which seems to entirley penalise the south of the river.
