Firstly, the proposed development would cause substantial harm to the character of our landscape. Wellesbourne is known for its picturesque scenery, and the scale of the planned construction would irreversibly alter this cherished environment.
Additionally, the plan raises serious concerns about flood risk. The proposed developments would significantly increase the risk of flooding in our area, which is already vulnerable. This poses a threat to both property and safety for current and future residents.
The lack of rail connectivity is another critical issue. Without adequate public transportation options, residents will be heavily reliant on cars, exacerbating traffic congestion and pollution. This is particularly concerning given the anticipated increase in vehicle movements and quarry activity, which will further degrade air quality and contribute to environmental pollution.
Moreover, the loss of the best and most versatile farmland is a grave concern. This land is crucial for local agriculture and food production, and its conversion to development land would be a significant loss to our community and economy.
The overdevelopment of Wellesbourne threatens its village status. The scale of the proposed development is disproportionate and risks transforming our village into a town, undermining its unique character and community spirit.
Furthermore, the current plan does not adequately address the need for educational and health facilities. With the expected population increase, there will be a greater demand for schools and healthcare services, which are already under strain. The plan must include provisions to expand these essential services to meet future needs.
Many of these concerns will cause irreversible damage to the locality and health and happiness of residents (old and new).
