Full text:

Whilst we agree with the principle of concentrating development around the existing towns, we believe that the concentration of development to the south of Warwick an Whitnash will create further congestion and put pressure on the infrastructure and community facilities. We note the various facilities and road improvements suggested as part of the scheme but we believe they will not overcome the problems identified.

We believe a more appropriate plan would be to spread development around the edges of Warwick, Leamington and Kenilworth.


2. Sites for Gypsies and Travellers

We object to the sites relying on the facilities provided by Barford village because
* there is a lack of appropriate facilities in the village, even the village shop could be described as serving the premium market.
* public transport is relatively poor and infrequent
* there has been no account taken of neighbouring sites already designated by Stratford District Council
