Land between Severn Trent and the M40 is owned by various people. Severn Trent and some of the private land owners are opposed to the scheme and therefore land is not currently available.
WDC may be considering a Compulsory Purchase Order which is time consuming and will not deliver the site within 5 years.
Severn Trent will not allow access across their land consequently access will be through Longbridge Village which is completely unsuitable and the site would be too big for the village. The land is off the A429 on a sharp bend with poor visibility. Further traffic turning at this point will increase the risk of accidents.
Why not spread the allocations evenly across the area with some in Kenilworth.
Site is bordered by sewage works, River Avon and M40 with health and safety risks. Cordon Sanitaire would need to be reduced. Ethical reasons not to build here.
Noise is within acceptable limits but air quality not considered.
Proximity to River and risk to children.
Unacceptable standard of living.
Schools and doctors are under intense pressure already.
Viability.
Impact on local economy, particularly Tournament Fields where there is still commercial land available.
