Revised Development Strategy

Representation ID: 54987

Received: 16/07/2013

Respondent: Pauline Neale

Representation Summary:

Objects to proposals to build houses on land:

* behind Tidmington Close, Combroke Grove & Ebrington Close (proposal R115);
* on Oakland Farm on the A4117 adjacent to the Shell Garage (proposals R25 & R125); and
* on land at the top of the Barcheston Drive loop (proposal R114) and on other sites along the A4117 owned by Mr Arkwright.

The infrastructure and the road system of Hatton Park adjoining the A4177 are not adequate to deal with the increased amount of traffic from an extra 70 - 90 houses.

Such development would desecrate existing green field sites which preserve the distinction between Warwick town and outlying communities such as Hatton Park.

In addition, nearby Ferncumbe Primary School is already oversubscribed and there are no medical facilities to cope with the needs of the considerably enlarged population that would result.

I refer to the proposal to build houses on the land behind Tidmington Close, Combroke Grove & Ebrington Close (proposal R115), on Oakland Farm on the A4117 adjacent to the Shell Garage (proposals R25 & R125), & on land at the top of the Barcheston Drive loop (proposal R114) and on other sites along the A4117 owned by Mr Arkwright. I object to these proposals as the infrastructure and the road system of Hatton Park adjoining the A4177 are not adequate to deal with the increased amount of traffic that building an extra 70 - 90 houses there between 2015 and 2029 would create. Such development would desecrate existing green field sites which preserve the distinction between Warwick town and outlying communities such as Hatton Park. In addition, nearby Ferncumbe Primary School is already oversubscribed and there are no medical facilities to cope with the needs of the considerably enlarged population that would result. The gypsy site at Beausale Lane is still il! legally developed with their refusal to accept the eviction order that has been placed on them, so what hope would there be of a good relationship between them & the local community if a gypsy site is sanctioned at Oaklands Farm? On all these counts, I object to the proposed development of these sites.
