Having moved back to the area and paid a significant price to purchase a house and to find 2700 houses (sites 2 & 3) being built on my back door step is quite simply alarming and unacceptable. The distribution of house numbers across all sites is disproportionate and should more evenly distributed with sites 2, 3 & 5 taking less burden on the housing plan moving forward. Site 8 for example can be increased significantly considering the size of the plot and land available.

The oak trees behind my property which have been there for a considerably time (WHICH MUST BE UNDER A preservation order) and other trees behind Aragon drive provide necessary noise reduction from the main road and provide attractive scenery. At all costs the natural habitat and the borders must be kept to preserve the little areas of beauty we have left in the town and to stop unwanted merging of communities and estates. Adequate parkland and playing fields also needs to be provided

How will the new schools for sites 2 & 3 be funded? as under current proposal plans, 1 new secondary and a 1 new primary school will be needed. Would it be not more sensible to reduce the proposed number of houses for sites 2 & 3 and extend the current secondary Myton school which has an excellent reputation and build an additional primary school.

With this increased property development comes increased pollution and transport chaos. Myton Road is already gridlocked at both ends during rush hour and the M40 turn off at Leamington is bumper to bumper in the morning and evening. Whatever plans are made you will not be able to put suitable highway infrastructure in place to cope with this increased number of houses.

I am not in total objection but am realistic as a nation we need more houses with life expectancy increasing but I think more sensible thinking is required around the distribution of sites for housing and the quantities at the sites around the district as I have have indicated.
