Village Housing Options and Settlement Boundaries

Representation ID: 61062

Received: 19/01/2014

Respondent: Mr John Gough

Representation Summary:

We do not wish for any development within Shrewley to change its rural nature and we are concerned that the village in not geared to the influx of a large number of young families.
The Roman remains aspect of the village should be investigated before too detailed plans are made.

As long time residents of Shrewley, and with our home close to the South East proposed development, we have the aesthetic appearance of the village at heart and do not wish this to be spoilt by a development of so many houses as proposed.

It is a concern that such a number of houses, particularly if for young families, the village is without the essential facilities such as schools, surgery, playground and public transport. This end of the village already suffers from traffic congestion from through traffic and cars parked for the village shop and we have no wish for this to increase.

We feel that a smaller development could satisfy the need for additional houses within Shrewley. We do wonder if the triangular area of land between Hughes Hill and the Old Warwick Road could be available for alternative development.

Shrewley is an unspoiled rural village of natural wildlife and Roman architectural remains yet to be unearthed and we hope that due consideration will be given to these important assets to the village before embarking on further housing development.
John Gough. 101 Shrewley Common
