The proposed land for development next to Tidmington close is known to frequency flood already and so is not suitable for housing. Being at the bottom of the hill the surface runoff collects in this field and can be water logged for several months a year. More development will put pressure on the sewerage system to increase the risk of flooding.
There are no plans to increase the facilities on Hatton Park, all children already have to catch a bus to both primary and secondary schools, which causes massive congestion, with parent dropping off and collecting, further housing would add to this.
The Birmingham road is already very congested during rush hour and queues frequently tail back into Warwick in the morning. Additional housing would add to this problem. the council has no plans to update the infrastructure before development.
Noise pollution, air pollution from extra cars and building on green belt land will damage the local ecosystem. Badgers, birds, pheasants and even deer have been in the field. Loss of habitat will negatively affect the wildlife.
The local primary school, Ferncumbe is already over subscribed and quiet often siblings are unable to attend the same school. The council has not put any plans forward to build a new school.
The only facilities nearby is a very small convenience shop to buy very basic necessities, a recent consultation stated Hatton Park had a well stocked store which is simply not true.
There is no doctors surgery or NHS dentist nearby either. All these services require travelling into Warwick, along a congested road.
The council has not released plans about access roads to any prosed developments. So Roads like Ebrington could have a massive increase in traffic, where cars are often parked on one side of the roads already.
