Wellesbourne has accommodated considerable housing development in the past few years without the benefit of improved services and infrastructure. The school, dental and health facilities will not cope with further housing developments.
There is regular flooding across Newbold Road which is unlikely to improve if further housing is built north of the village.
The sewage works is regularly unable to cope at present so more housing will further damage the environment. Traffic is often very heavy at certain times of the day and also often comes to standstill at Bank Holidays.
Yes, we do need more affordable housing but the public transport service is hardly up to getting people to work in Warwick, Leamington, Coventry or Strafford on Avon at the moment.
Before any further housing is considered the infrastructure must be put in place. There appears to be no reference to this in the Local Plan.
The loss of prime agricultural land is also a concern when we should not be relying on the rest of the world for much of our food.
