Most of the plan is focused in the south west of the warwick district. I question the integrity of the executives in focusing so much of the plan in this area. The green belt excuse is exactly that an excuse. It has been overridden in the case of Hampton on the hill and it seems it is acceptable to build on the greenbelt as long as it is not in the north of the district.
The Chase Meadow Estate and Tournament Fields Business Park has already added burden on the pre existing infrastructure a burden than is barely sustainable now. I recently had to wait 3 weeks before the doctors surgery could fit me if or blood tests. These tests were for something potential very serious and the delay caused me much anxiety. One of the councils documents on the councils website sites health needs of travellers as paramount and of concern when locating sites. This then is likely to add yet more pressure to the doctors surgery as is the Hampton on the hill development.
In addition to this roads are already overburdened. Purser drive would be the route travellers would take to the motorway, cars already speed down this road in great volume. A road which has over 10 primary aged or younger children living on it. The Planning Policy for Traveller Sites is therefore being contrevened as the local infrastructure can not support the travellers site.
The historic nature of warwick seems to have had no baring over plans. The town is already effectively gridlocked at parts of the day and these plans will extend this gridlock. Tourists will simply stop coming to the town hence destroying local business.
The Hampton Road (GT11) site sits in part within the Flood plain. Any further hard standing within the area is likely to exacerbate the current issues with the flood plain. In addition to this it is planned on part of the only remaining green land on this side of the town. Much green land has already been sacrificed in SW warwick, if this site was built there would be hardly any left. It appears we will sacrifice the living standards and attractive nature of the south of the district but not the north of the district. In relation to flooding chase meadow is built on a flood plain, the council acknowledged the risk by repeatedly refusing to adopt the roads on the estate due to flood risk. Only after much argument has an agreement to adopt the roads been reached. Additional hard standing will certainly increase the risk further.
