Testun llawn:
I understand that area 2 is a proposed alternative to area one on the local plan proposed by Bloor Homes.This area is far more suitable for development and would be more sensitive to the needs of the area.Traffic flow onto the roundabout on the Birmingham road although increasing capacity may have a traffic calming effect on speed reduction at the roundabout. if area 2 is planned in a sensitive way it can use the trees and be visually descreet to the approach to Warwick.As part of the development new access could be provided to Hatton Locks (including parking) and a pedestrian crossing over the Birmingham Road. (this would also slow speed of traffic on the approach to the roundabout). Taking into account that new housing has to go somewhere in the next 15 -20 years, this is a far more effective solution keeping the character of the existing developments and maintaining a greenbelt gap between Warwick and Hatton park.
Lets try and keep the greenbelt gap. Leamington Spa and Warwick are almost joined together on the other side of Warwick.Lets not have one continuous sprawl from Leamington through to Hatton .
