Objects to development on land east of Church Lane.
It will add to exisiting traffic congestion, making the road even more dangerous for pedestrians.
It will spoil the village views of countryside and Grade 2 Lisited Church.
Why was the site not included in any previous consultations?
I am writing to express my objections to the planned development in Radford Semele, Site 1 East of Church Lane.

I do not believe much thought has been put into this proposed site for a development in the village, If it goes ahead it will:-
1) Severely add to the traffic congestion experienced on week day mornings and evening, from school runs and people commuting to work. Increasing pollution and potential road hazards. Hazards include the difficult junction at Offchurch Lane and Southam Road. Also the narrow hump backed bridge on Offchurch Lane and increased traffic flow along a road that is already hazardous to walk down as there is no footpath between the end of the houses and the bridge.
2) Spoil the character of the village, destroying the picturesque view of the country side and Grade 2 listed church which is at the centre of village life.
This proposed site had not previously been put forward in any consultations that I had seen or heard about. So I also question why it is being considered now?
