-The proposed number of homes would increase the overall number of properties by over 23%, this is dramatically more than the allocation for similar villages in Warwickshire.
-The development would change the fabric of the village and as a mother who attends the local school, the long term implications of the proposal concern me.
-Traffic congestion is an issue through the village (commuter traffic) and the junction at Woodcote Lane/Warwick Road would not be able to accommodate an increase in traffic from the proposed development.
-Houses are required but the proposed increase would destroy the unique nature of the village.
As a resident of the village of Leek Wootton I am writing to raise my concerns regarding the proposed development.
It is proposed that a number of homes be built in the village which would increase the overall number of properties by over 23%, this is dramatically more than the allocation for similar villages in Warwickshire. As well as significantly changing the fabric of the village as a mother of two children who attend the local school I am gravely concerned as to the long term implications for the proposal.
The traffic situation through the village is already a serious issue with a constant flow of heavy and commuter traffic, in particular the junction at Woodcote Lane and Warwick road which surely could not accomodate an increase in traffic which the proposed development would generate.
Whilst I accept that a number of houses need to be accommodated within the village the proposed increase would destroy the unique nature of the village of Leek Wootton.
