Appreciates the need for additional housing but strongly objects to the current plans for development on the following basis: The Warwick / Leamington / Whitnash area is taking an un-proportional higher number of dwellings than any other area; Does not believe that the planners have fully taken into account the major impact that the increased number of dwellings, and therefore car owners / journeys, will have on the area. Even at current levels of traffic a number of roads become grid locked at peak times. Additionally there are really only two ways one can access the area from the North, both currently under strain despite recent improvements to the top of Princes Drive; What recognisance has been made for the high increase of air pollution that will occur if the planned number of dwellings proceeds?
whilst I appreciate the need for additional housing I strongly object to the current plans for development on the following basis:-
1. The Warwick/Leamington/Whitnash area is taking an un-proportional higher number of dwellings than any other area.
2. I do not believe that planners have fully taken into account the major impact that the increased number of dwellings, and therefore car owners/journeys, will have on the area. Even at current levels of traffic a number of roads become grid locked at peak times. Additionally there are really only two ways one can access the area from the North, both currently under strain despite recent improvements (??) to the top of Princes Drive.
3. What recognisance has been made for the high increase of air pollution that will occur if the planned number of dwellings proceeds.
