Objects to development south of Gallows Hill and West of Europa Way. The proposed housing will abut the boundary of Warwick Castle Park and the historic open character of the landscape will be lost. Part of the design of the Banbury Road approach was a vision for a series of views on the approach to Warwick, commencing with the spire of St Nicholas Church and concluding with the panorama of the castle and town from the castle bridge. This sequence of views will be irreversibly changed if development goes ahead having a very detrimental effect on the setting of the Castle and Castle Park.
The landscape study shows that the area known as the Asps provides the historical context to the park, it in fact only provides part of the context and the first of a sequence of views up the Banbury road.
