Ref 513: The Boot Old Warwick Road, Lapworth, B94 6JU
The local roads are overburdened during peak hours causing congestion at this present time let
alone with the additional burden of anymore households. It is not possible to wider roads without
decimating the local community due to current homes being built along the single carriage way.
there are many tight bends and accident points already along this road and increase in volume
of traffic would cause additional danger. It is named OLD Warwick road for a purpose - it was no longer fit for purpose to meet demand and in addition the new by pass was considered essential. The by pass in the mornings and evenings is already full to capacity with slow moving traffic a regular issue particularly during school term time.
Site C1 in its entirety does not offer proximity to essential facilities or public transport links and therefore I urge the planning committee to reconsider the inclusion of site C1 in the SWLP and explore an alternative option.
I would urge SWLP to consider brown fill sites and redevelop areas where there are empty houses, care homes and offices that align better with sustainable development goals and community including new schools and healthcare facilities as part of that development that are reconfigured at the start rather than left to the end on previous housing developments.
Any development of more than a couple of properties would create a lasting impact on the character of the area. It would destroy the benefits of health and nature to not only individuals but also the surrounding balance of ecology and the environment.
The local secondary school - Henley in Arden is already over its quota of students for the original size built and it needs to be demolished & replaced. The roads, transport systems and healthcare are no where need adequate.
