The Council has a duty to protect the listed buildings and countryside of the area.
The current site gives meaning and quality. The new site would close the last remaining open outlook in the Village.
Issues with drainage.
The traffic in Southam Rd, Offchurch, School Lane will have a negative impact in the area, higher risk of accidents.
Dangerous levels of Carbon Monoxide. The vibration pressures caused by traffic will affect the listed properties in the area.
Impact to the wild life of the area and lost of the last remaining open outlook of the village.
Lack of facilities to sustain a further 100+ families.
As an owner of one of the oldest properties in Radford Semele/Leamington Spa I strongly believe that new site will affect the Village feel of the area and the foundations and buildings of the listed buildings in the area.
This listed buildings (St Nichols Church, thatched cottages and countryside) in the village should be protected by the Council which is under statutory duty - PPG 15 Planning and the Historic Environment (1994) and PPG 16 Archeology and Planning (1990).
The traffic (Southam Road) at the front of the listed properties is extremely heavy from 6am until 11pm, this site will only increase this issue affecting the pollution (carbon monoxide) drainage of the area and the foundation/structure of the listed properties facing the road.
The access from Hallfields to Southm Rod can take up to 15 minutes to join the road due to the heavy traffic and long ques. The new development will only increase this major problem.
Extremely concerned about thls of Care levebon Monoxide affecting the Southam Road properties.
No enough facilities (School and Doctors) in the area to support new residents.
Major impact to the wild life of the area. Deer, flocks of birds and other wildlife are seen daily across the fields (proposed building site).
