Revised Development Strategy
RDS3: The Council's Preferred Option for the broad location of development is to:
Representation ID: 54017
Received: 29/07/2013
Respondent: Barford Residents Association
In RDS3 WDC claim to be distributing the development across the District. This of course means across 20% of the District as the Green Belt is not being revised. Paragraphs 4.3.4, 5 and 6 attempt to support this. The Green belt is there to prevent the spread of major conurbations into the countryside - The downside of maintaining the GB is additional development in the south, allowing Warwick and Leamington to spread and encouraging them to coalesce with villages. Putting all the development in 20% of the area of the District puts unnecessary strain on infrastructure and is not equitable.

4.3.5 expresses a 'general desire for more development to take place on brownfield land'. BRA fully supports this principle - but the figure of 5.7 % of development quoted in RDS4 seems to suggest that WDC may express a desire - but are not proposing to do very much to make it happen.

RDS1: The Council is adopting an Interim Level of Growth of 12,300 homes between 2011 and 2029

Respondent: Barford Residents Association
The Council is adopting an Interim Level of Growth of 12,300 homes between 2011 and 2029.
The interim level of growth selected by the Council is much higher than is wanted by the residents of Warwick District. In the original consultation in 2011, 58% of the respondents were in favour of low growth. In the report on the Preferred Options consultation in 2012, 97% of the respondents objected to the level of growth. This level of growth is being forced on the District by external pressures and is not justified to support the needs of Warwick District.

RDS5: The following sites will be allocated for development:
Representation ID: 54161

Respondent: Barford Residents Association
The concentration of the development in the south of the district - 4550 houses in sites on the edge of Warwick and Whitnash will cause severe strain on the infrastructure. Traffic is already a problem and the mitigation proposals do nothing to address the problems south of Warwick and Leamington. The road through Barford is already grid-locked at peak times with traffic avoiding the direct routes and further large developments in this area will only exacerbate the problem. A major new road to take traffic south from the proposed new development is required.

Para 4.3.8 states that 'the area known as The Asps provides a historic context to Castle Park.... and as open land provides a valuable setting for the town of Warwick. It is recommended that this area is protected from Development'. This is simply a statement in the RDS and will carry no significance in the future
This area should be included in the 'Country Park' specified to the East and would then be given status similar to Green belt in the North of the District

70 - 90 houses are too many for our small village to accept and expect the village to maintain its individual historic character. Barford has a choice of housing created by many small developments and has recently had 60 + new houses which have not been in character with the rest of the village. These are being assimilated - but time is required. We have recently opposed proposals to build 2 more new estates as these would have further altered the village and reduced its tourist appeal. A definite limit of no more than 70 is required.
