Testun llawn:
I wish to object to Map 2 containing the above sites and in particular the site at Loes Farm, north of Woodloes adjoining Warwick Bypass. The land is Green Belt and was so designated to prevent the outward expansion of urban areas and the move towards coalescence between towns, in this case between Warwick and Kenilworth. I believe that when one buys a house in a development contained by Green Belt then one has a reasonable expectation that such land will not be developed. Warwick district has the benefit of many non Green Belt sites, generally to the south of the district where residential development could take place without sacrificing Green Belt land. A development in this location would close the gap between Warwick and Kenilworth and add a large scale residential development to those already existing hence prejudicing the setting of a major historic town. In relationship to my own housing location, the development would destroy the rural setting of the part of Woodloes in which I live and would lead to my property and others being lost within a very large modern development.
Further additional concerns relate to traffic. Already the roads leading into Warwick from Kenilworth and Leamington Spa are heavily congested and, in particular, there are serious traffic problems at St Johns where the roads from the two towns meet. At busy times, there is also congestion at the main roundabout connecting Woodloes to the Kenilworth/Warwick Road. This problem will be exacerbated. Any possible relief to these traffic problems would appear to be a very long way ahead, if they are to occur at all.
May I suggest that a suitable not Green Belt site on the south side of Warwick, where traffic improvements have already been undertaken, is land at Longbridge which has the additional benefit of being a site contained by the M40 and Castle Park and existing development thus ensuring that its scale will be kept in check. In addition to being non Green Belt, it does not threaten any coalescence between towns.
I should be grateful if the above comments could be taken into account in the next stages of the consideration of the proposals.
