Representation Summary:

Removal of Development East of Whitnash. Development is unbalanced in district for political reasons. Time that other areas of district share in the development (if indeed it is truly necessary).
Maybe we should wait until the HS2 decision is finalised and place housing in the areas close to the line which those to the north of the town seemingly consider will be blighted beyond use anyway.
These new houses will be even closer to Briar Hill and St Margaret's Primary so there will be even more parents chasing few places.
Some of the fields in question are often subject to flooding. Any work to reduce their flooding risk could lead to increased risk elsewhere

Too much development around the whitnash area. Possibly because of where councilors seats in certain political parties were in the north.

Removal of development East of Whitnash

The disproportionate new development to the south of Leamington and Whitnash
The character of the Whitnash area has already been greatly scarred with the development of Warwick Gates, Dobson Lane, recent Chesterton Heights/Sydenham encroachment on the countryside and extension of the South Farm development. It is time that other areas of district share in the development (if indeed it is truly necessary).
May be we should wait until the HS2 decision is finalised and place housing in the areas close to the line which those to the north of the town seemingly consider will be blighted beyond use anyway.
3) Particular objections to the development East of Whitnash
a) This development is a typical 'Sprawl' brought about purely by the fact that a developer is already in ownership of the land.
b) The development of Warwick Gates has already led to issues surrounding the shortage of primary school places in the local area. These new houses will be even closer to Briar Hill and St Margaret's Primary so there will be even more parents chasing few places.
c) Some of the fields in question are often subject to flooding. Any work to reduce their flooding risk could lead to increased risk elsewhere

Representation Summary:

SME's rarely have the ready funds, or time, to instruct a design and build of new premises and need space quickly, at a cost that is affordable. The FSB therefore believes that new developments should consider an allocation of space for smaller units alongside the larger ones. However, the FSB appreciates that this does increase developer costs. Could the Warwick District Council encourage developers to consider speculative smaller units, similar to housing developers needing to include a set percentage of affordable housing?

I would suggest a revision to 1.53 to include sport i.e.
1.53 Make sure new developments provide public and private open spaces where there is a choice of areas of shade, shelter, recreation and access to sport facilities which will benefit people and wildlife and provide flood storage and carbon management.
