Objects to development at Thickthorn and on Land north of Leamington. Understands housing is needed but doesnt consider that the amount is as proposed due to the large number of empty houses unaccounted for. Is concerned about the amount of traffic this development would generate as well as the loss of valuable greenbelt and agricultural land. Land south of Leamington would be a better location as there is an existing road network which could be upgraded more cheaply than a new northern relief road. Converting the A452 into a dual carridgeway will not help traffic flow through Kenilworth
I wish to register my objection to the proposed building of 770 new homes in the Thickthorn area of Kenilworth and nearly 3,000 houses north of Leamington Spa.
I fully understand that new building is required - though not as much as proposed in your plan since there are always a large number of empty houses unaccounted for - but my main concern is the huge amount of extra traffic which this building would generate, as well as the loss of valuable Green Belt and agricultural land.
I certainly don't wish to appear to be passing on unwanted building to another area, but it does seem that the south of Leamington Spa would be a better location for large amounts of building, as there is already an existing road network which could be upgraded far more easily and cheaply than a new "Northern Relief Road". If the A452 were to be turned into a dual carriageway, this would still not help the traffic flow through Kenilworth and rush hour conditions would be far worse than they are even now.
Please consider altering the proposal as I do not believe that Kenilworth and the northern side of Leamington can cope with the huge amount of extra congestion which would be incurred.
