I’m writing as a local resident of Ladbroke Village as we have been invited to comment on the planned ‘F2’ and ‘F3’ housing development proposals.
I do have some concerns that I feel I need to be considered:

• The road network linking where the proposed sites are to the main A423 would directly bring more traffic through the village. There are already pockets of incredibly busy times around rush hour and there are already a lot of near misses and accidents on the country roads.
• The road network around Ladbroke village is not designed to cope with large traffic and HGV’s, the roads are too narrow, especially for vehicles to pass safely. This especially applies to the bridge in the village.
• There have already been deaths and numerous accidents where vehicles join the A423 from Ladbroke Village, the dangers of more traffic using the village as a cut through need to be considered.
• Southam would be the local town to many of these new houses and the parking/shops/doctors/dentists and local infrastructure are hardly able to cope now with the traffic and footfall from the local area, increasing this by another 11000 houses, with potentially another 33,000 people (based on 3 people per household) would just not be feasible.
I do have other concerns, but these would be my immediate thoughts for consideration.
