Representation Summary:

My main objection to the new housing is the amount of traffic trying each morning to leave the estate going into Warwick. On a normal day the traffic is very heavy so another 70-90 house will certainly not going to help.

As per normal it always seem to be green belt land that it chosen for new housing developments with the impact to wild life. We are heading into a food crisis we are yet to lose more farm land to housing. The area chosen also has a history of flooding onto the Birmingham Road so are we building on flood plain which takes the rain water from the higher ground of Hatton Park. Estate . My main objection to the new housing is the amount of traffic trying each morning to leave the estate going into Warwick. On a normal day the traffic is very heavy so another 70-90 house will certainly not going to help. On some days if there is a accident on the M40 the Birmingham Road into Warwick is grid locked & could take up to 1 hour to cover only a few miles into Warwick We were also told that no new housing was going to be build on the land between Hatton Park and Warwick due to the traffic problems the last time the council were looking into new housing in the area so what has changed to reverse that decision
