Object to site west of Europa Way and others south of Leamington:
Area gradually being swamped by development. Warwick and Leamington have separate, distinctive and attractive faces and varying facilities that would be lost if merged. Land provides healthy respite from urban sprawl and is area of restraint. A farce allowing area of 'restraint' if status can be shifted at a whim without regard for public opinion.
Land has flooding issues.
There is a wealth of flora and fauna and is fertile farming land.
Infrastructure:
Traffic question alone would make it a non-starter - Myton Road and junctions around Europa Way and Banbury Road virtually at a standstill in morning and evening rush hours. Schools are at capacity, hospitals and fire services on the other side of the river with access at four points, all heavily used. Putting forward development plan before considering these seems ludicrous. Investigation needed as to how infrastructure would cope should be performed prior to site consideration.
Questionable figures for housing. Has real inquiry taken place or are figures snatched from the air? Pre-supposes migrant movement from outside the area as opposed to probable conclusion that movement would be from within Leamington area itself, freeing up accommodation in immediate area.
More suitable sites:
Land around Warwick Parkway - close to M40, A46 and has rail connections, all without passing through Warwick and Leamington towns.
Villages could take their share preserving services and providing affordable housing.
University provides employment so north of Leamington most suitable and commuters to Coventry and Leamington would not have to cross river.
Finham and Kings Hill would have excellent connections.
