WDC have not demonstrated that EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES prevail. This proposed development is ONLY to support Coventry City Councils housing needs and not for the well-being of Leamingtonians. There are parcels of less pristine, less environmentally valuable land nearer Coventry, which will have less impact on those living around them, and would better support Coventry City Council. At present the traffic on Kenilworth Road is horrendous, total congestion - a nightmare for home owners trying to safely enter the traffic flow. There are NO speed cameras, NO traffic calming measures. At night the road is used as a race track. The existing pavement along Kenilworth Road is only 1.5 feet wide in places, difficult even now for pedestrians/cyclists to safely pass. The beauty of the Village of Old Milverton will be forever lost.
How will children from this proposed development safely be able to walk to North Leamington School?.
The beautiful views and incredible wildlife enjoyed by so many will be forever lost.
