PO1: Preferred Level of Growth
Representation ID: 46676
Received: 02/08/2012
Respondent: Barford Residents Association
We do not agree that the proposed level of growth is realistic or justified by the statistics given.
In the initial consultation 'Helping shape the District'
Scenario 1 proposed 250 homes and 58% of respondents supported this, a further 28% supported 500 homes.
The plan has been based on unrealistic projections, made after a period of growth, which has led to a global recession and not made on local requirements.

PO2: Community Infrastructure Levy
Representation ID: 46677
Received: 02/08/2012
Respondent: Barford Residents Association
In principle we support a CIL but the funds must be allocated to specific areas, agreed during the planning process, for work identified both locally and District wide.

PO3: Broad Location of Growth
Representation ID: 46678
Received: 02/08/2012
Respondent: Barford Residents Association
The original allocation of 6986 dwellings in Table 7.1 has been increased to 8360 in Table 7.2 to cater for likely shortfalls and the possibility of the Gateway development occurring.
Significant additional housing in villages will cause transport requirements and costly multiple infrastructure improvements.
The Gateway development should be considered as an additional requirement and planned as a separate project requiring housing in the locality rather than throughout the District.
Development in the villages should be reduced to maintain the specific individual character of the Warwick District villages

South of Gallows Hill/ West of Europa Way, Warwick
Representation ID: 46680

Respondent: Barford Residents Association
Development on this site will promote Urban Sprawl from Leamington and Warwick to surrounding villages. The surroundings of Warwick Castle Park will be affected.
Increase in traffic congestion on the south of Warwick and Leamington and through Barford will be unacceptable.

Barford should not be considered as a category 1 village and thus allocated a lower level of growth

B. Category 1 and 2 Villages
Representation ID: 46848
Received: 02/08/2012
Respondent: Barford Residents Association
The total number of houses recommended for rural locations is 830, 500 + 'about 330'.
In para 7.38 the transport modelling ranged from 0 to 400 houses in rural areas - but did not consider double that amount. The effect of building houses in rural areas is to place additional multiple requirements on transport and infrastructure which will not be easy to satisfy.

PO5: Affordable Housing
Representation ID: 46853
Received: 02/08/2012
Respondent: Barford Residents Association
The SMHA survey is not valid.
Affordable homes to be provided according to Local needs only.
Failure to do this will increase demands on transport facilities and pollution.
Developments in areas which have reduced local need can be required to fund other areas with increased local need

PO6: Mixed Communities & Wide Choice of Housing
Representation ID: 46897
Received: 02/08/2012
Respondent: Barford Residents Association
Support the requirement to build homes to meet Local Need. Too often a developer will build expensive homes to maximise profit. The needs of specific groups - eg elderly - can be ignored as bungalows or groups of sheltered housing can be expensive to build and only appeal to a limited market. In a rural situation building a home for an elderly single occupant may enable that person to remain in the village that has been their home for many years. It can also release a larger home for a family and reduce overall housing need twice over

PO8: Economy
Representation ID: 47002
Received: 02/08/2012
Respondent: Barford Residents Association
The land designated for major housing south of Leamington and Warwick is not near the proposed major employment sites of Coventry Airport, Honiley Airport and the University of Warwick. Mention is made in this section of 'Enabling the growth of appropriate rural businesses and diversification of the rural economy' but this is not backed up by plans to encourage employment in the Category 1 or 2 villages.

PO11: Historic Environment
Representation ID: 47047
Received: 02/08/2012
Respondent: Barford Residents Association
Barford Residents Association is fully in favour of protecting our heritage assets from inappropriate development. This does not only involve the buildings but also the surroundings and approaches of major historic buildings such as Warwick Castle must be preserved.
