Could it be that the previous contributor wholly in support of this plan does not actually live in the immediate vicinity yet is strongly against all proposals for Kenilworth and Burton Green presumably because they affect him directly. A case of "not in my back yard". The application may seemingly address our objections but does not acknowledge local Whitnash residents' strong aversion to such overdevelopment. The prospect of a new school for all its desirability is perhaps overshadowing the negative implications of a huge housing estate also, of necessity, intrinsic in th plan - this is no win/win situation.
Might it be any coincidence that the previous contributor who is so wholly in favour of such a vast development here does not actually live in the immediate vicinity and yet is also so strongly against the two other possible options for Kenilworth and one for Burton Green which presumably would directly affect him and his neighbourhood. If so, clearly a case of "not in my back yard". The 45 page application may seemingly address the objections raised by those directly affected but it does not detract from the fact that, on the whole, local Whitnash residents do not wish to see their town subjected to overdevelopment on this scale. I would also add that the prospect of the building of a new school, for all its virtues and desirability, seems to have overshadowed the negative implications of the large number of houses also, of necessity, intrinsic in the plan.
