Representation Summary:

It is also undemocratic as local people have previously made it very clear that building in this area (south of Warwick and Harbury Lane) is unacceptable.

Dear Ms Darke
I wish to object to the draft local plan in the strongest terms. The proposed development to the south of Warwick and Harbury Lane is grossly disproportionate to the housing needs of the district.. There is no evidence that the majority of people moving to this area will find employment locally and the majority will be car commuters placing intolerable strain on the road network. If new houses are needed they should be spread through the area with a priority for brownfield sites and to the north or the district with access to the West Midland region. Warwick District already has a high proportion of built up areas and development proposed will result in the loss of agricultural land and destroy the character of the area. It is also undemocratic as local people have previously made it very clear that building in this area is unacceptable.
