It is essential that the infrastructure associated with the increase in housing and consequent population is in place before the houses are sold. I'm talking about schools, health facilities, public transport, roads and utilities. Warks CC has a poor record of getting commitments from developers and an even poorer record of delivering these in a timely manner, if at all - look, for example at the Stoneleigh junction improvements (two years late and £16 million over budget, and counting), Shottery Relief Road (still waiting) and footpath improvements on Knights Lane (delivered 3 years after the houses were occupied). Warks CC or its successor needs to improve massively in this aspect. It should be mandated that important development impacts are mitigated before houses are sold.

Developments must be of a significant scale to attract the necessary investment from developers and Government to build this infrastructure.

I live near area SG19 and I would not be opposed to a large-scale development there provided the necessary infrastructure is delivered with it. Following the failure to deliver a relief road from Long Marston through Shottery, it is essential that Stratford gets a relief road from the Shipston Road through to the Tiddington Road and beyond towards the Longbridge Island.
