I object to this location for a number of reasons:

Traffic & Road Safety - Due to the massive and unmanaged increase in traffic commuting to JLR, Harbury Lane is now much busier. This has then had a knock on effect to the junction with the Fosse Way which a constant serious accident location. This additional traffic is also heading South, down the Fosse Way compounding the problem. Traffic is backing up along Harbury Lane as well as N up the Fosse, also creating a bottleneck. This is also a 'High Risk Route' so the problem can only get worse. Development at the Whitnash end of Harbury Lane will also only increase traffic strains.

Access to amenities - (doctors, shops, schools etc) from GT04 is also difficult as there is nothing in walking distance, as well as there being no footpaths, therefore requiring cars to be used.

Smells from Barnwell Farm - I can only imagine that any development money spent would be wasted at this location as the smell from Barnwell Farm is unpleasant to the point of unbearable, particularly in the warmer months and this would no doubt deter occupants.
