The development of Strawberry Fields is contrary to Warwick Districts Council to care for and enhance conservation areas in Warwick. It is also prone to flooding. This approach to Warwick is the last one where you don't have to drive through housing estates to reach the town. The Asps and Gallows Hills developments have put pay to that, don't let Strawberry Fields be the final nail in the coffin and ruin this historic approach to our town for ever. The addition of the new housing will also add to the already VERY congested traffic conditions in this area.
I object to the proposal to build houses on Strawberry Fields, North West of land at Gallows Hill. I was very upset when the housing at The Asps and Gallows Hill was approved, the negative impact on the asthetics of Warwick cannot be underestimated. Every approach made by road into Warwick will now be through a sprawl of housing estates. The only chink of light was the green field at Strawberry Hill, if this goes, the old entrance to Warwick will be lost for ever. We have a beautiful old market town, Historic Warwick - why aren't we protecting it? Warwick is now a gem of a town, surrounded by housing estates. The traffic in Warwick is so very, very congested now, what will it be like after 1000s of new homes are built in the town, what does the council have planned to combat this? I believe the proposed development at Strawberry Fields will damage the heritage and conservation of Warwick, Castle park and Warwick Castle, and therefore contrary to Warwick District Council's obligation to care for an enhance conservation areas. Is is also a flood plain. Please stop the destruction of our historic town.
