Object to 8100 new homes to be built in district and specifically on area of restraint 1E (land south of Harbury Lane). Was identified as area of constraint when Warwick Technology Park developed to ensure gap between Warwick and Leamington maintained preventing urban sprawl. Core Strategy would damage character of area creating local issues.
Object that this is first area of restraint to be developed and should be last until alternative found or potential change of govt. and policies.
Concerned area around Europa Way impact on traffic, increase in flood risk on land currently acts as soakaway and is rich habitat for wildlife.
Traffic - south of Warwick already at saturation with Myton Road virtually impassable at peak times. No capacity for more cars. Detrimental to residents and tourism.
Increased risk of flooding - at present run off is slowed by pasture and crops. Development results in flooding of houses.
Loss of habitat - impact on woodpeckers, buzzards, bats, foxes, deer, newts and hedgehogs.
Impact on infrastructure - strain on local services; GP surgeries, hospital, drainage, sewerage and public transport.
Local school capacity - schools oversubscribed. Problems arose when Warwick Gates developed without new school..
Wish to see plan withdrawn and alternative presented reflecting public opinion.
