Too much housing is being unfairly concentrated South of Leamington devastating the area.
Harbury Lane should be a natural barrier to the further expansion of Leamington / Warwick.

I do not agree that this many houses are needed. Also, as many of the services such as employment, education and hospitals are north of the river this development along with that at H01 will increase traffic flow over the river causing congestion. The proposed road improvments will not solve this problem as there will still be the same number of bridges over the river.

This land should be regarded as the buffer between the already built-up areas of Leamington/Whitnash and the village of Bishop's Tachbrook. Any development here not only erodes this buffer, making the eventual absorption of Bishop's Tachbrook into the larger built-up area more likely, but is also at odds with the concept of the Tach Valley Country Park, the size of which will be reduced too far. Traffic congestion will become even worse, and, with so few river bridges, increasing the population to the South with all the Emergency Services to the North is irresponsible.

This plan goes against the wishes of Bishop's Tachbrook Parish Council and the Parish's inhabitants and will place undue stress on the current infrastructure

Concerns at the impact of housing allocation, which occupies rising land to the west of Warwick Castle Park (Grade 1 listed) and will intrude into views from the park and from Banbury Road.

The council states it has been governed by principles set out in DS3 (protecting areas of significance, including high quality landscape) and DS4 ((b) sustainable locations close to areas of employment; (e) avoiding sites with a detrimental impact on the significance of heritage assets and (f) avoiding areas of high landscape value.) These two allocations fly in the face of that.

The site is deliverable / developable in the terms identified at footnotes 11 and 12 of paragraph 47 of the NPPF. The site is available now, offers a suitable location for development now and there is every prospect that a number of houses can be delivered on the site within five years. Indeed, the site is very well advanced. A planning application was registered for this site in May 2014. Cognisant of paragraph 14 of the NPPF, there are no adverse impacts in developing this site that significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits. There is, therefore, the potential to bring forward the site to contribute significantly to the 5 year supply of housing land. The site is sustainable and is easily accessible to employment opportunities and will have a positive impact on social factors such as improving the availability of sustainable transport, access to local services and facilities.
