Representation Summary:

I feel the plan is unsound. Firstly, the housing allocation is for Coventry and there have been sites identified by Warwick District Council and Coventry City Council nearer to the City. This site demonstrates poor sustainability for Coventry workers and the idea of a park and ride is unnecessary as there is adequate parking in Leamington already.It has been demonstrated that park and ride systems are poorly used except in areas like Oxford where the parking availability is low. Furthermore, the local infrastructure, i.e. the already congested A452, will not support the added traffic.
