Infrastructure in this area is insufficient to accommodate additional traffic loads which would follow from further building. Traffic from Canley Business Park, Torrington Avenue, Westwood Business Park, University of Warwick, Powergen and Network Rail all contribute to congestion in the area eg Gibbet Hill and Stoneleigh Road leading to A46, and Kirby Corner and Sir Henry Parkes Road leading to A45.

Some of the land is currently used for recreational activities such as football and allotments, both very important at a time when we are encouringing people to take more exercise and self sufficiency.

Several new housing estates containing hundreds of houses have been built in the area in the last 10 years many of which remain unsold. These have added to congestion and further building would increase the problem.

Loss of countryside is a significant loss of amenity for permanent residents and students who enjoy open spaces for relaxation.
