Firstly we would point out the lack of dispersal of the planned development (namely 1A,1B,1E,1F,2F and 3F). The planned development is focused almost entirely on land south of Warwick .This area has already been significantly developed in recent years, exerting pressure on existing services and infrastructure.

There has been no plan for the infrastructure in terms of drainage, sewerage, roads, public transport, schools and hospitals, as confirmed by councillors in the public meeting on 17th August 2009. Nor have there been impact studies on traffic, schools, drainage, sewerage, hospitals or employment. Traffic in South Warwick is already at saturation, with Myton Road being virtually impassable between 8am-9am and 4pm-6pm. New housing on Myton Park as well as the new Lidl store have further exacerbated traffic problems during the last two years, and now we find more new housing being planned on the area of restraint and on the Ford foundry - both sites yards away from Myton Road. Myton Road is home to four schools: whilst some children do walk or cycle the majority are driven to school - a pattern which is unlikely to change bearing in mind that three of the schools are private schools and pupils come from as far afield as Banbury to attend these schools. I attach photographs taken during September which show a typical congested Myton Road, and other major routes in Warwick.. There is no capacity on the roads for another 8,000 car journeys focussed on peak time. This will not only have a detrimental impact on the quality of life of current Warwick residents, but also on Warwick's capacity to bring in tourism.
