Ymatebydd: Mr Anthony H Ericson

I wish to register my strong objections to the proposals in the WDC Core Strategy on the following grounds

1. Transport and Traffic - building the equivalent of 2 more Warwick Gates developments will require major changes to the already overloaded road capacity in the South Warwick area and also to Public Transport resources - Answers Not Available
2. Education and Schools - an extra 8,100 households will require major investment in both Primary and Secondary education additional capacity, both buildings and staff - the 2,375 homes due before 2016 will need immediate additional capacity - Answers Not Available
3. Health and Medical Services - an extra 8,100 households will demand significant expansion of current Clinical, Dental, Health Centre and Hospital resources - again buildings and staff - where will the funding come from? - Answers Not Available
4. Water and Sewage services - there will need to be a huge investment (who pays?) to provide Water, Sewage and Drainage capacity for 8,100 households - this will also have a massive environmental impact both during and after construction - Answers Not Available
5. Power, Gas and Telecomms infrastructure - a massive increase in physical capacity and therefore resources will be required, especially in Telecoms for an area where existing Broadband service levels are poor - Answers Not Available
6. Waste and Recycling - can existing capacity and re-cycling growth rates match the increased demand? - Answers Not Available
7. Carbon Footprint Control - can these massive developments be delivered, without significant negative impact on the locality, using available construction technologies without rendering the cost of housing prohibitive? - Answers Not Available
8. Employment and Local Economy - where are the Jobs for the planned occupants of these 8,100 households? Will there be enough funding to enable purchase of the homes? How will the necessary additional local retail and service facilities be located and financed? - Answers Not Available
9. "Protection, enhancement and linkage of the natural environment through controlling the location and design of new development" - infilling with 1,250 dwellings on the west of Europa Way (1E in the WDC plan illustration) removes the last clear rural separation of Warwick from Leamington - a direct contradiction of WDC's stated objectives (above) - Answers Not Available
10 Direct effects on Myton Road and adjacent residents. How will traffic access be made feasible without increasing Road Safety risks in this busy School traffic area and creating even greater congestion at peak times?- Answers Not Available
There are no answers to any of the above concerns which means that this cannot be in any way a "Consultation"
11. Need for Full and Proper Consultation - I urge our Councillors to do two things -
11.1. Demand extension of the Consultation Date by at least 6 months to allow proper feasibility studies and financial evaluations.
11.2 Take legal action to challenge the Regional Government figures to allow a properly informed Consultation..
