Following concerns over the Local Plan:
* The absence of new transport infrastructure will grossly overburden existing roads.
* The current illegal air pollution in Warwick streets will be further increased.
* The proposed employment areas are unlikely to be utilised for that purpose (recent precedent of Warwick Gates and Chase Meadow developments where land designated for employment has been reallocated for housing as there was no uptake by businesses).
* The draft Plan if carried out would blight one of England's major historic towns with the subsequent loss of revenue for its inhabitants and Local Authorities
We are writing to express some concerns over the proposed Local Plan as follows:-
The proposal for 12,000 new houses far exceeds local need.
The absence of new transport infrastructure will grossly overburden existing roads
The current illegal air pollution in Warwick streets will be further increased.
The proposed employment areas are unlikely to be utilised for that purpose. There is the recent precedent of Warwick Gates and Chase Meadow developments where land designated for employment has been reallocated for housing as there was no uptake by businesses.
In conclusion, the draft Plan if carried out would blight one of England's major historic towns with the subsequent loss of revenue for its inhabitants and Local Authorities
