Representation Summary:

Enlarge the village boundry to include the other 3 currently "discounted" sites

Full text:

I think the boundry should be enlarged to include the other 3 possibe "discounted" building sites, which would make a lot more logical sense considering that this land is "White Land" and just used as grazing pasture presently. The boundry would still be fairly tight around the village.

If it were me and I were told I had to build 100 extra houses in my village, I would build 25 on each site and minimise the overall impact. This would allow for some natural growth in the area, without the fear of it becoming part of Leamington Spa, which has always been a major concern. The village therefore keeping its unique identity.

On discounted site number 3 for example there is likely to be only one complainant and that is going to be from the residents of the last bungalow in the village going Est towards Southam.

Directly opposite and across the road from this site there is the last line of houses around 6 or 8 who are likely to raise some objections. The council call this site "R40"

Putting 100 houses in one chunk along a narrow road, does not make much sense in my personal view.

If 100 houses are needed it can be done sensibly with minimal impact and this has been needed for years !
