Recent substantial housing developments adjacent to proposed segment of Tachbrook Road, Harbury Lane, Ashford Road, leading to Landor Road is already causing significant additional traffic between these areas at peak times of commuting and runs to overstretched school resources. The higher risk of danger resulting from the proposed development at Woodside Farm would be increased further.
Such increase in traffic mobilisation utilising the existing road network risks congestion to unacceptable levels but also to residents accessing other services provided by wider Whitnash area. Similarly, the key access to hospitals, police or fire is north of the river via numerous bridges which are already prone to bottlenecks at peak times and when works are in progress.
Accumulated housing and commercial development means we have to preserve what little green space in the area designated Woodside Farm. Any building development whatsoever on the elevated land of Woodside Farm should be avoided as this would not only destroy the little remaining green space and woodland vista for local residents to enjoy, but would also create an unsightly entry into Whitnash.
The reality of urban sprawl that has encroached Whitnash up to the Tachbrook Road - Harbury Lane crossroads (from Warwick direction) and the increased pressure this already places on the road, infrastructure network and services stretched, should be recognised. No further building development should take place as proposed so this area of Whitnash may retain its last vestige of green space.
