Already there is planned development on the University campus north of Wellesbourne, which will affect the A429 main trunk road; the road was recently blocked in both directions for miles preventing access by emergency services. The current volume of daily traffic is substantial.
Further development will severely and negatively impact the neighbouring communities. The local primary school is at or above capacity, and there is limited and often unreliable public transport. There is no additional capacity on roads.
This winter adversely affected hospital provision for the current populace.
Good graded agricultural land once developed will be lost, with the consequent risk to food production and food security. The low lying land can be subject to flooding.
Water supply and discharge are hugely concerning. Already the taste of drinking water is sometimes affected, and water treatment works are often overwhelmed, damaging water courses.
Wellesbourne has been extensively developed over several decades, already providing much housing for the area. Access to countryside for pedestrians / cyclists / riders for recreational and health benefits is already limited.
