I would like to raise my concerns on several points regarding the infill areas of the plan specifically concerning the land running adjacent to the Grand Union Canal and Swallowfield Equestrian Centre, Rising Lane. The proposed development would be on land which I believe to be unsuitable, due to drainage constraints and the proximity to the canal and canal basin, which is a natural conduit for wildlife and tourists alike.
Currently, there are problems with poorly maintained drainage, storm water and sewage effluent in an ever changing climate. It is questionable if the infrastructure could cope with this additional housing, in the proposed development on these low lying areas of Kingswood.
Finally, with the proposed increase in housing and car traffic (average of two cars per household), together with existing farm/commercial traffic, and with little or no additional employment in the area, this would become a dormant area for the community to larger population areas ie Birmingham, Warwick, Coventry centres and it is for certain that these cannot be achieved using the 20 minute rule for commuting proposes.
