Respondent: Radford Semele Parish Council

The development proposed south of Sydenham, while being a further encroachment into good agricultural land with consequent adverse effect on the environment still preserves a sufficient gap between the urban and village communities and therefore does not violate the principal concern of Radford Semele residents.

Radford Semele residents take the view that the village must preserve its separate village identity. It currently has the advantage of being close to the urban area for a full range of facilities but maintains its unique character within an attractive landscape.

Respondent: Radford Semele Parish Council

Objects to the allocation of 100-150 homes to Radford Semele for the following reasons:
-it takes no account of local needs, the effect on the community or on landscapes.;
- there is no substance to the reason for the village hiearchy;
- the existing road structure in the village will be unable to cope and will require new accesses onto already busy roads;
- there is already a good range and choice of housing;
- the village has no medical facilities, health clubs, leisure facilities or employment and parking and bus services are limited;
- 100 new houses would tip the balance of Radford Semele from being a village to a dormitory suburb

If the Plan does propose new housing in the village, the Parish Council would prefer this to be a reduced number of homes and for them to be located to the east of the village so as to avoid further reducing the gap between Leamington and Radford Semele.
