Revised Development Strategy

Representation ID: 55322

Received: 05/07/2013

Respondent: Mr Russ Powell

Representation Summary:

Object to this proposed site (R115) on the basis that the site will not have sufficient infrastructure in order for the proposed development on greenbelt land. The infrastructure I am referring to is Road infrastructure coping with the increase in traffic on the Birmingham Road and the road safety issues related with this dramatic increase of 90-100 houses.

At present Warwick cannot cope with the increase in population in relation to community facilities such as the provision of school places, medical facilities such as GP provision and indeed Warwick Hospital provision. On top of this, and the proposed development of a travellers site on Oaklands farm the road safety issues are a real concern.

The situation of the proposed building site near to a proposed traveller's site would bring into question the commercial viability of being able to sell the properties.

Another major concern is the ground works that leads to the balancing lake that runs under the land (R115). This is a main drainage/balancing of water from all the Hatton Park estate. There are also underground streams that run under the proposed site.

At a public meeting in 2011 assurances were given that this land would not be built on and understands this has been revoked and the land thrown back into the proposal pot.

Warwick was known for protecting its land and for considerate planning. This proposal is beyond all comprehension. There is a building in Saltisford (The gas works) that could accommodate apartments and assist with the housing shortage, privately owned and an eyesore in its present state. Why don't you consider using that?
