The purpose of this email is to inform you that I object most strongly to your choice of site number 1 on the Radford Semele new
local plan as the "preferred option" for a 100+housing development.

My principal objection is based on the traffic access to and from the site. The only access would have to be more or less opposite
the bottom end of School Lane on the Southam Road. This area is between the 'blind bend' and junction with Offchurch Lane and
the brow of the hill in Southam Road and the junction with Kingshurst. This is a busy and potentially dangerous piece of road at
the best of times often with children having to cross Southam Road at this point. An additional junction with additional traffic
would only make this main road through the village MORE HAZARDOUS.

Site 2 on the plan offers a much better and safer access opportunity with an easy extension to the 30MPH zone.

My second but also important objection is that a housing development on site 1 with associated access roads would seriously
detract from the visual aspect of Saint Nicholas Church and the village.
