The increase to the Village Envelope and the increase in houses on the site South of School Lane will result in more traffic down the already narrow and dangerous School Lane which will result in more road traffic accidents. It will also increase the risk of flooding to the land South of School Lane due to the lack of containment of surface water run-off. It will also add unwarranted pressures to the local Primary School which will not be able to cope with the increased local Village population.
The growth of the Radford Semele Village boundary to the land South of School will cause the following:
1. Increase the already dangerous access onto the main road at the end of School Lane
2. Increase the risk of accidents outside the Primary School both during and after construction.
3. Cause a large risk of flooding to the land to the South of School Lane - The Valley and Valley Road - due to the lack of containment of surface water run-off on this land.
4. Increased burden on the local Primary School which won't be able to cope with the spiraling number of houses being built within the Village.
5. Push the Village boundary very close to the new Sydenham housing estate currently being built which will visually merge the Village to Sydenham.
The narrow and restricted School Lane is already aa dangerous road around school times and any further development at the end of this road is dangerous and will result in more Road Traffic Accidents.
The Local Plan submitted by Warwick District Council mentions that the development is to be capped on the site South of School Lane due to pressures on the Primary School. If this change to the village envelope is made this pressure will have been deliberately ignored by Warwwick District Council.
