I have a few concerns about the proposed local plan! Firstly - the impact on house prices in the area! I understand that affordable housing for people is important, however, having only recently brought a house in Bishops Tachbrook, I have concerns that the proposed large development South of Leamington and, to a larger extent, the proposed Gypsy and traveller sites will mean a increase in crime and so lead to a drop in house prices and a increase in home insurance! This would mean we would be paying more for our house than its worth therefore stopping us from moving if our standard of living drops due to said increase in crime and over population of the area! Secondly the increase in housing would mean at least 12000 more cars on the road as most households have at least 2 cars! I find it impossible to see how a road network that already struggles can cope even if (as has been proposed) the junctions are improved and some roads turned into dual carriage ways.

Please listen to the people who already live and work in the area and voted councillors in!
