Village Housing Options and Settlement Boundaries

Representation ID: 62007

Received: 27/01/2014

Respondent: Lyn Thomas

Representation Summary:

-Local survey said we needed 20 houses not 120.
-Total development (including Tachbrook, Woodside and Harbury Lane) could be 740 houses.
-Isn't enough space at nurseries and high schools for younger and older children.
-The current doctors surgeries are already bursting at the seams.
-Development could result in 1500 extra cars on country lanes.
-Bishops Tachbrook will be treated like a rat run for access to the M40.
-When Warwick Gates was built Tachbrook was without water for part of the day, if building of this scale goes ahead we will have none.
-The amount of housing is unsustainable.
