Representation Summary:

Foolish to build at Strawberry Fields as land lies in flood plain.
Any building south of Warwick will destroy the approach to the town.
The bridge over the Avon is in danger from the extra traffic.
Pollution levels unpleasant and pernicious to health.
Build where there is less risk of flooding and lower environmental risk through traffic

Full text:

I wish to argue that it would be foolish to consider building any properties on Strawberry Fields, Banbury Road, Warwick. The land lies in a flood plain. I attach a photograph, taken in March 2016, showing how large amounts of floodwater remained several days after heavy rain.
Furthermore, any building south of the town will destroy the beautiful approach to our historic town. Not only this, but the bridge over the Avon is in danger of being destroyed by the weight of extra traffic produced.
Finally, the levels of congestion and air pollution is not only unpleasant but also pernicious to health.
Please reconsider the options for the local plan and build - if you must - elsewhere in the area where there is less risk of flooding and a lower risk to the environment through traffic.
