X1 would be the first major development just south of the M40 - which is a good and appropriate boundary stopping Warwick from sprawling south.

The roads of Wasperton Lane and Hareway Lane are single carriageway rural roads and would have to be widened, removing dozens of mature / ancient trees in the process.

Traffic entering Barford would increase tremendously from Wasperton and Hareway Lanes and cause a huge amount of traffic in the village

There are no existing train stations nearby

The land has several shallow valleys and is patch worked with woods and spinneys. Surface water flooding already occurs and this would be much worse if there is development

A Planning application has been made for a quarry outside Barford. This together with X1 would change this gateway to the Cotswolds for ever and be over development of this area.

X1 would be enormous and dwarf Barford which only has about 1,500 residents and would be inappropriate in this rural area.

For these reasons X1 would be a terrible thing to happen to Barford and should not occur.
