I visited the display/exhibition of the Local Plan in The Priors some weeks ago and spoke to one of the staff who were answering questions from members of the general public on the Local Plan. I was told that there would be "employment and schools as well as housing". My point is that none of those already exist so why should this huge swathe of development be in one area and not more evenly distributed within Warwick District Council. Whitnash isn't even marked on the map on Page 25 of the Local Plan Revised Development Strategy brochure although development of this size would have a huge impact on the area.
Local schools and doctors' surgeries are already at capacity and local roads grid-locked at times when people are going to and from their schools and workplaces.
The number of proposed properties to be built seems excessive. There is empty property both residential and office/industrial and property currently for sale within the Leamington area. All this should be taken into consideration. The housing should be primarily for local people and people working in the area not people moving into the area and commuting to their place of work.
