The RDS has a number of flaws:
1-It encourages more people to move into the District, which wants to avoid;
2-the housing forecast is more than double what we need;
3-too many houses are planned on being built on greenfield sites;
4-more brownfield sites should be used;
5-it makes the area more car-dependant;
6-there is already too much traffic congestion in Warwick and the District needs a plan to alleviate the Warwick and Leamington traffic - not increase it
7-Warwick needs a pedestrian crossing on Jury Street;
8-more houses will worsen the already illegal levels of pollution in Warwick and surrounding areas;
9-it does not provide the necessary infrastructure to meet the development needs.
