1. Traffic - at least 10,000 more cars causing pollution. Village roads already unable to cope with the current traffic.
2. Pollution from extra cars as well as carbon footprints from all the extra houses.
3. Flooding - Wilmcote and Snitterfield already prone to severe flooding and regularly inaccessible due to the flooding.
4. Lose of more green belt. Green belt is needed by our farmers and our wildlife. This area has some beautiful wildlife areas Snitterfield and Bearley bushes which would be greatly affected by the increase in traffic.
5. Threat to our Heritage. Wilmcote has a direct connection to Shakespeare as does Snitterfield!
Overview- This planning proposal is totally unrealistic for the area ! The infrastructure would be unable to cope with this amount of extra people etc. Local doctors (already over subscribed) Warwick hospital already at peak capacity, roads are already regularly gridlocked including Birmingham road and Warwick road for north of Stratford.
Finally. This plan would be devastating to our beautiful local area. The congestion of traffic would reck our local wildlife of nesting birds, including a recent arrival of red kites plus several lakes that attracts herons, geese and other water birds. We also have deer ( roe deer, muntjac and fallow) badgers, toads hedgehogs and many more !
Neither Wilmcote or Bearley stations can accommodate extra commuters with no access parking. Leading to commuters travelling to Warwick Parkway via Snitterfield (as a rat run) or Leamington station again via Snitterfield. Travelling via Snitterfield to the A46 is quicker than rush hour on Birmingham Road.
