Pleased to see the inclusion of a "country park" in the plans for the extra developments; this would see a permanent and hopefully picturesque barrier between the two communities helping each to retain their own nature; this is a great idea and, should the council proceed with the proposed development, and wholeheartedly supports the inclusion of the country park.

Believe that further consultation with the local neighbourhoods as to what form the country park would take would be both desirable and help to achieve community buy-in for the area. Would like to see it as focused towards nature as possible, but accepts that other local residents may have other ideas.

Consideration should be given by WDC as to how traffic will approach any new developments; ideally they would not travel through Bishop's Tachbrook, but rather be funnelled through non-residential areas. A significant increase in traffic is not expected, but this could be further encouraged by including more public transport services e.g. a bus, tram to the train station.
