Land at Thickthorn
All communities should provide sufficient local employment land. The Parish Council would only support the reclassification of this site once the other employment land in Kenilworth has been developed and has a high occupancy.
K01, K05, K06 & K09 cover the site from Leamington Road to Rocky Lane with the A46 to the SE and suggest 50% housing and 50% other. Apart from access at the south by the gatehouse, access to the majority of the site is from Glasshouse Lane which serves the residential area of Windy Arbour. This is not acceptable for any employment requiring other than light vehicle access and would naturally lead to a higher % of residential to say 65% with the remainder split between employment and recreational. If employment demand does not materialize, then a greater proportion of residential would be acceptable.
