Village Housing Options and Settlement Boundaries

Representation ID: 60749

Received: 13/01/2014

Respondent: Mr John Harlow

Representation Summary:

The number of new dwellings proposed for Leek Wootton is totally disproportionate to the existing housing stock, representing a 22.3% increase. This will put an intolerable strain on existing infrastructure particularly the gated drive designated as the entrance to the main site, Woodcote Lane and its notorious junction with Warwick Road leading from it and especially the local school which is already full to capacity.
This also represents a far greater proportional increase than that of the other villages in the proposal save only for Burton Green but that mainly being due there to the plans for HS2.
