This field has never been built on other than for recreation, is not in the existing boundary of the village and is protected by greenbelt legislation. If this site is built on it would only be a matter of time before the adjoining recreation field of the Woodcote estate would be under pressure for "infill". This is a slippery slope to becoming a large estate.
The junction of Woodcote Lane and the Warwick road is not suitable to the increase of traffic that would come with any building in the Woodcote area of the village. The police have shown that they are unable to move out of Woodcote house and its estate and so we traffic will be increased.
Pedestrians especially children from any new builds in the Woodcote area will have to cross the road Twice due to current footpath layout on Woodcote lane.
Accidents and near misses on the junction of Woodcote Lane and Warwick Road are common. When The Anchor are taking delivery of beer the lorry parks on the Woodcote lane corner of the junction reducing visibility to nill from traffic turning onto the lane from Warwick and for traffic trying to exit Woodcote lane. This is a problem now and would be worse in the event of 70 new houses being built on the Woodcote estate as a whole.
