Village Housing Options and Settlement Boundaries

Representation ID: 61343

Received: 20/01/2014

Respondent: Elizabeth Saxon

Representation Summary:

-75 dwellings is too great an increase for a village of 263 dwellings.
-Tile Hill station is more than 1 mile from this site and only rare buses go past this site to Kenilworth.
-Burton Green will suffer more than any other Warwickshire village from HS2. Adjusting to these changes, including loss of houses to well-established residents many of whom currently play a big role in village affairs, will be traumatic. To load us with a disproportionate number of Incomers at this time would exacerbate our settling down process.

I disagree with the proposal to place 75 houses on Burrow Hill nursery site. 75 is too great an increase for a village of 263 dwellings. If this were reduced to 35 I would accept Burrow Hill as the main site for development including the village hall and a village green.
You should note, however that Tile Hill station is more than 1 mile from this site and only rare buses go past this site to Kenilworth.

Burton Green will suffer more than any other Warwickshire village from HS2. Adjusting to these changes, including loss of houses to well-established residents many of whom currently play a big role in village affairs, will be traumatic.
