Revised Development Strategy

Object to proposed development of approximately 3,500 houses in this area:
Number of properties is disproportionate to local road infrastructure. No evidence to support sustainability of road junctions/traffic hours without severe congestion and impact on public transport.
Proposals make no provision for allocation of Gypsy/Traveller sites into these developments. New housing areas should include Gypsy/Traveller sites into those developments so that they offer better quality of environment, local services and integration. Would ensure better planning of proposed G&T sites rather than splitting up and around county.
Little evidence to support overall requirement of over 12,000 houses.
In response to: Southern Sites: Sites South of Warwick & Whitnash. Map 3, pages 32 & 32.
I would like to OBJECT to the proposed development of approximately 3,500 houses in this area. The key reasons for objection are:
The volume and number of properties is disproportionate to the local road infrastructure in and around Leamington and Warwick. There is no evidence to support the sustainability of road junctions and traffic hours in the local area without severe congestion and impact on the public transport system.
The new proposals make no provision for allocation of Gypsy and Traveller sites into these developments. Any new housing area should seek to include ALL Gypsy and Traveller sites into those new developments so that they offer better quality of environment, local services and integration into community. Such schemes have been
successfully implemented near Watford and Milton Keynes areas. This would ensure better forward planning of proposed G&T sites with land developers rather than splitting G&T sites up and around the county.
There is little evidence to support the production of the total overall requirement of over 12,000 houses in the overall Local Plan.
