Fully understand the need for the requirement to build additional housing in Kenilworth area however, why is the density so high?
Object to a portion being commercial use - we have an abundance of factory units and offices lying empty - why build more?
Access to the new estate is not clear. Protection of Thickthorn Close and the Orchards is required. There is considerable traffic on the main close, hence using these roads as a feeder road would make the situation intolerable and particularly dangerous to the elderly residents in the road and Thickthorn Manor.
I have had the opportunity to review the outline proposal and attended the Local Forum @ the Wardens Cricket Club. My comments are as follows:
1. Building Density
I fully understand the need for the requirement to build additional housing in Kenilworth area howerver, I do not understand why the density has to be so high 700 + dwelling is a substantial development.
2. Commerical Use
I object to a portion being commerical use - we have an abundance of factory units and offices lying empty - why build more?
3. Main access.
Access to the new estate is not clear - there is no indication where the main entrance will be should the development go ahead. The entrance onto Thickthorn roundabout is mentioned but there is no statement that this will be the main artery.
4. Protection of Thickthorn Close and the Orchards.
MY MAIN CONERN IS THE PROTECTION OF THICKTHORN CLOSE PARTICULARLY THE CUL-DE-SAC WHICH RESERVES 29 THROUGHT TO 43.
There is considerable traffic on the main close as it is hence using these roads as feeder road would make the situation intolerable and particularly dangerous to the elderly residence in the road and Thickthorn Manor.
I trust that my concerns will be taken seriously and inparticular the Protection of Thickthorn Close and the Orchards.
