Where is the infrastructure plan to ensure that you can still move around Leamington/Warwick when all these new homes have been built?
Leamington is bound to the south/west by river, cannal and railway lines with only 4 routes to get over these obsticles - where is the plan to deal with the existing problems this causes before an additional 18k cars are added to the equation?
Where is the plan for a relief road to link Whitnash and Cubbington?
This revised plan appears to be completely lacking in an overall infrastructure review to explain how the area will remain mobile when all these proposed home have been developed - already getting anywhere at peak times take an inordinate amount of time and simply dapping developments around without considering the infrastructure requirements is irresponsible and reckless.
Leamington is separated from Warwick by a river (prone to flooding) and a railway line with only a single crossing over the river and is separated from the south of the town by no only the river and the railway line but also a canal with only 3 crossing points.
The recent changes to Princess Drive and Europa Way are a missed opportunity to start to address the blockages that Leamington suffers from but has nothing but tinker with things. Surely it would have been sensible to start to dual the roads.
There is also a need for a relief road to the East of Leamington to provide a means of linking Whitnash and Cubbington and an alternative route
