capacity 6520 homes:
1) Significant harm will be caused to the character of the landscape.
2) This area is close to Leamington Spa and will undoubtedly become a suburb of Leamington Spa as opposed to a standalone development.
3) Loss of best and most versatile farmland
4) Lack of rail connectivity
5) Significant harm caused by major pollution and air quality caused by increased vehicle movements on A429 from Wellesbourne, University of Warwick Innovation Campus and mineral extraction site at Barford/Wasperton
6) Lack of capacity at education and health facilities in Wellesbourne, Barford and Bishops Tachbrook
7) The traffic already commuting to this area impacts upon neighbouring villages, most of which are small parishes with inadequate roads. There is evidence of rat running through villages on roads which are incapable of taking two-way traffic safely.
8) Development of this area will lead to further congestion along the spinal route into Leamington Spa – Europa Way
Developing X1 could lead to urban sprawl, merging distinct communities, and eroding the rural character of areas like Bishop's Tachbrook. The Parish Council emphasises that such development contradicts previous plans aimed at preventing coalescence and preserving open spaces.
