Representation Summary:

Elevation of site at highest point would cause blot of landscape approaching Whitnash.
Access could mean removal of woodland and road widening on busy network.
Steep incline would result in increased flooding at Tachbrook Road/Harbury Lane junction.
Underground power cables make area unsuitable.
Inspector previously rejected site.
Why is it in phase 1?
Local schools over extended and unsafe to extend further. No school at Warwick Gates. What will happen to catchment area?
Traffic in Whitnash already congested and roads blocked at peak times. Will worsen.
Police moved north of river - could return if development takes place.
Emergency services all to north of town. Busy access points already.
No indication as to whether vacant property taken into account.
Virtually no green spaces left around Whitnash.
Government recommends no urban sprawl.
If developed, it should be reduced number at low level with remainder left as green space for residents.

Elevation of the land, if developed, at the highest point of Woodside Farm will cause a 'blot on the landscape' visible to all entering Whitnash.
Access to Woodside Farm could mean removal of woodland and road widening on an already busy road network at Tachbrook Road/Harbury Lane junction.
The steep incline of the land at Woodside Farm, if developed, would mean flooding of Tachbrook Road/Harbury Lane, areas that already flood despite being a modern junction.
The land at Woodside Farm has underground power cables making this area unsuitable for development.
A Government Inspector found in favour of no development of Woodside Farm in the Regional Spatial Strategy programme. The arguments are the same against development so what has changed and above all why is it in phase 1?
What will happen with Schools? Local schools have already been over extended. When Warwick Gates was built it was to include a school. Existing schools cannot be safely extended further and what will happen about catchment areas for local children?
Traffic in Whitnash area is already congested and becoming dangerous especially at peak times and school pick up times. Roads are becoming increasingly blocked at these times.
When Warwick Gates was built Whitnash should have had local police, additional schools and access for fire. Police have just been moved north of the river forced by police cuts. Now we are told that if the development happens, they may come back.
Access to hospitals, police, fire etc which are all north of the river, are only accessible by 5 extremely busy bridges. When Warwick town centre was closed and Fords factory site was being developed the area was chaos highlighting what additional traffic would do to these already congested bottlenecks.
In respect of empty houses and commercial premises, it is not known if these are taken into account in the numbers of future housing and factory developments being planned.
There are virtually no green spaces left around Whitnash. The playing field at Harbury Lane is a white elephant provided to placate residents when Warwick Gates was built. It is little used for sport/recreation, boarded up due to vandalism and a hazard with dog waste etc.
The Government recommends no urban sprawl, well what is happening at Woodside Farm is exactly that.
If any development has to happen at Woodside Farm then it should be a drastically reduced number of houses at low level around the boundary of Tachbrook Road and Harbury Lane. The land at high level should be left as green space for local residents and thus not cause an unsightly entry into Whitnash.

Elevation of the land, if developed, at the highest point of Woodside Farm will cause a 'blot on the landscape' visible to all entering Whitnash.
Access to Woodside Farm could mean removal of woodland and road widening on an already busy road network at Tachbrook Road/Harbury Lane junction.
The steep incline of the land at Woodside Farm, if developed, would mean flooding of Tachbrook Road/Harbury Lane, areas that already flood despite being a modern junction.
The land at Woodside Farm has underground power cables making this area unsuitable for development.
A Government Inspector found in favour of no development of Woodside Farm in the Regional Spatial Strategy programme. The arguments are the same against development so what has changed and above all why is it in phase 1?
What will happen with Schools? Local schools have already been over extended. When Warwick Gates was built it was to include a school. Existing schools cannot be safely extended further and what will happen about catchment areas for local children?
Traffic in Whitnash area is already congested and becoming dangerous especially at peak times and school pick up times. Roads are becoming increasingly blocked at these times.
When Warwick Gates was built Whitnash should have had local police, additional schools and access for fire. Police have just been moved north of the river forced by police cuts. Now we are told that if the development happens, they may come back.
Access to hospitals, police, fire etc which are all north of the river, are only accessible by 5 extremely busy bridges. When Warwick town centre was closed and Fords factory site was being developed the area was chaos highlighting what additional traffic would do to these already congested bottlenecks.
In respect of empty houses and commercial premises, it is not known if these are taken into account in the numbers of future housing and factory developments being planned.
There are virtually no green spaces left around Whitnash. The playing field at Harbury Lane is a white elephant provided to placate residents when Warwick Gates was built. It is little used for sport/recreation, boarded up due to vandalism and a hazard with dog waste etc.
The Government recommends no urban sprawl, well what is happening at Woodside Farm is exactly that.
If any development has to happen at Woodside Farm then it should be a drastically reduced number of houses at low level around the boundary of Tachbrook Road and Harbury Lane. The land at high level should be left as green space for local residents and thus not cause an unsightly entry into Whitnash.

What will happen with Schools? Local schools have already been over extended. When Warwick Gates was built it was to include a school. Existing schools cannot be safely extended further and what will happen about catchment areas for local children?
Traffic in Whitnash area is already congested and becoming dangerous especially at peak times and school pick up times. Roads are becoming increasingly blocked at these times.
When Warwick Gates was built Whitnash should have had local police, additional schools and access for fire. Police have just been moved north of the river forced by police cuts. Now we are told that if the development happens, they may come back.
Access to hospitals, police, fire etc which are all north of the river, are only accessible by 5 extremely busy bridges. When Warwick town centre was closed and Fords factory site was being developed the area was chaos highlighting what additional traffic would do to these already congested bottlenecks.
In respect of empty houses and commercial premises, it is not known if these are taken into account in the numbers of future housing and factory developments being planned.
There are virtually no green spaces left around Whitnash. The playing field at Harbury Lane is a white elephant provided to placate residents when Warwick Gates was built. It is little used for sport/recreation, boarded up due to vandalism and a hazard with dog waste etc.
The Government recommends no urban sprawl, well what is happening at Woodside Farm is exactly that.
If any development has to happen at Woodside Farm then it should be a drastically reduced number of houses at low level around the boundary of Tachbrook Road and Harbury Lane. The land at high level should be left as green space for local residents and thus not cause an unsightly entry into Whitnash.

Elevation of site at highest point would cause blot of landscape approaching Whitnash.
Access could mean removal of woodland and road widening on busy network.
Steep incline would result in increased flooding at Tachbrook Road/Harbury Lane junction.
Underground power cables make area unsuitable.
Inspector previously rejected site.
Why is it in phase 1?
Local schools over extended and unsafe to extend further. No school at Warwick Gates. What will happen to catchment area?
Traffic in Whitnash already congested and roads blocked at peak times. Will worsen.
Police moved north of river - could return if development takes place.
Emergency services all to north of town. Busy access points already.
No indication as to whether vacant property taken into account.
Virtually no green spaces left around Whitnash.
Government recommends no urban sprawl.
If developed, it should be reduced number at low level with remainder left as green space for residents.
