I am writing this letter in order to express my strong objection to the following Core Strategy Preferred Options document:
Land at Woodside Farm north of Harbury Lane,Whtinash
Land south of Sydenham and east of Whitnash
Land at Lower Heathcote Farm south of Harbury Lane
Land west of Europa Way Warwick

My objections are based on the following reasons:

* There have already been 2 major developments in the area:South Farm and Warwick Gates. Any further major housing development would have a devastating effect on public services.
* As a resident of Whitnash I have seen the strain Warwick Gates has put on schools, traffic,doctor/dental surgeries, hospitals, sewage works,flooding etc and further development would be irresponsible as we simply do not have the infrastructure.It is already a nightmare around Tachbrook Road/Landor Road during the school run /rush hour. I still remember all the false promises that were made when Warwick Gates was built regarding extra schools and public services.
* No infrastructure findings on schools,traffic environment have been made public of the potential impact of all this extra housing
* Brownfield sites within Leamington and Coventry Airport should be explored and developers should not set house building policy.
* Why is such a massive development being considered when we are losing hundreds of jobs in the area ?(AP,Ford,Wolseley,C&G.HSBC to name a few)
* The environmental impact will be huge to this already well developed area .You will destroy what makes this area attractive in the fist place.
* The council should legally challenge the amount of houses the government has demanded we build in the area. We live in a democracy and should not be dictated to in such a fashion.
