Firstly, the local road network comprises country lanes and the pressure of traffic from additional housing on the A423, A4451 and other lanes connecting Bishops Itchington, Deppers Bridge and Ladbroke would be unsustainable. With limited employment opportunities in this local area new housing would just create high volumes of commuters heading for Birmingham and Coventry with major negative impacts on the local environment. Also the area does not benefit from a local train station, nor would a new station be viable, creating further traffic where longer distance commuters travel to railway stations in the conurbations.

I am also concerned at the impact of flooding throughout the F2 and F3 areas having experienced the difficulties caused by water run off on local roads in my own everyday work. The impact of major housing development on the existing groundwater levels would greatly increase this problem.

As someone living in the locality I am aware of the limited provision of basic services in this rural area, GP surgeries are under major pressure, hospitals are some distance away in Warwick, Banbury or Coventry etc. Adding to the pressure on these services through major increases in the population is not, in my opinion, a viable option leading to major under provision of essential services.

Finally, the destruction of the countryside that the F3 site involve would create a major loss of biodiversity in contradiction with the stated strategic objectives.
