I have various comments regarding the above and my first concern is the reliance on the integrity of the developers. When Chase Meadow was built it was a condition that an approach road would be constructed from Stratford Road to Aylesford School and this was delayed for 7 years.
Warwick is a compact town with limited points of access and from the south there is a reliance on the bridge over the river Avon. This bridge is of ancient construction and is not suitable for the volume of traffic it carries at the moment let alone the increased volume which will result from the development at Europa Way.
The St Johns area is affected by traffic pollution to the extent that it exceeds health guide lines. The increased traffic flow proposed both from the Leamington and Kenilworth direction will only make the situation worse.
The proposed developments 2 and 3 on the plan involves the construction 2700 houses and this is excessive for the fringe of a town the size of Warwick.
Serious consideration needs to be given to the road layout of the town and bearing in mind the number of old historic properties in Warwick it is difficult to envisage how an improvement can be implemented. Therefore any increase in traffic volume will seriously impact on the quality of life of the residents and detract from the attractiveness of the town for the visitors on which the town relies.
