I am writing to formally object to the proposed C1 development located south of Kingswood, as outlined in the South Warwickshire Local Plan. My concerns are based on several planning considerations recognized by Warwickshire County Council:

1. Impact on Highway Safety and Traffic Issues: The introduction of approximately 4,960 new dwellings in this area is projected to significantly increase local traffic. The existing road infrastructure may not be equipped to handle this surge, potentially leading to congestion and heightened safety risks for both drivers and pedestrians on the country roads.

2. Effect on the Design and Appearance of the Area: The proposed development could substantially alter the character of Kingswood and its surroundings. The transition from rural landscapes to a densely populated settlement may undermine the area’s aesthetic and historical value where many local properties have grade 2 listing.

3. Strain on Local Infrastructure and Services: An influx of nearly 11,900 residents would place considerable pressure on existing amenities, including schools, healthcare facilities, and recreational areas. Without a robust plan to expand and enhance these services, the quality of life for both current and future residents could be adversely affected.

4. Environmental Concerns: The development poses potential risks to local wildlife habitats and will lead to the loss of green spaces that are vital for ecological balance and community well-being.

I urge the council to thoroughly assess these issues, ensuring that any development aligns with sustainable growth principles and genuinely benefits the community.
