We would like to respond to SHLAA plan with regards to Leek Wootton.

In principle we are not against adding some housing to the Leek Wootton village, but we are against the proposal reference WDC R54.

We believe that this is a very narrow strip of land that backs on to the very noisy A46 dual carriageway.

Access would be difficult on to Hill Wootton road, as a clear view is impeded by the A46 bridge supports, and the dip in the road at this point.

It will also be very intrusive to the houses that are on the A46 side of The Hamlet, as the designated strip of land is very narrow.

In our opinion the area marked as WDC R62, would be a much better location, as it is near to the recreation ground and its facilities, as well as not overlooking or spoling the view from existing housing.

We would also suggest that the council looks at the available land at the Police Headquarters, which already exists and has good access to Woodcote Drive.

Finally we would suggest that you look at the triangle of land that is south of the school, between the A46 and Warwick road. This is naturally close to the school and would have even better access to a larger road.
