Respondent: Mr Marc Sanderson

Representation Summary:

Site 4 is unacceptable because of dangerous access, increased flooding and coalescence with Leamington.

Full text:

I write to object in particular to site Option 4.

Development of this site could only serve to increase traffic flow along the already congested and dangerous School Lane, past the primary school with associated risks of road traffic accidents and vehicle / pedestrian collisions. Any alternative access involving Lewis Road would be equally dangerous.

Development on site 4 would also clearly increase the risk of flooding in The Valley, an area with long history in this regard.

Finally there is no doubt that development on site four would do the most harm to the separate identity of Radford Semele as a village, severely intruding on the (already shrunken) divide between Radford and the bottom end of Leamington.
