Testun llawn:
I refer to the above and in particular to the Kings Hill section. It is this section to which I object, for the following reasons for not developing:-
A) The plan area has been highlighted with complete disregard to those who live and work in the area. Even the ancient woodland is designated to go!
B) Not only does the highlighted area contain an ancient woodland (Wainbody Wood) which is a nature reserve, but the hedgerows have, as researched, been undisturbed for several centuries.
C) The area contains four working farms.
D) The area has two areas of Scientific Sites
E) The area has a Sports and Social Club that supports nearly 30 children's football teams (the biggest club in Coventry), adult teams, plus children's and adult cricket teams, plus children's and adult netball teams and a crown green bowling club.
F) The area has two education centres complete with greenhouses teaching those with learning difficulties.
G)The area has a Business Centre for small businesses.
H) Ancient Marl ponds are on the area.
I) Previous development plans have been turned down for access reasons.
a) When the A46 was built the offer of an access to this area was not taken up
b) Another enquiry advised only access should be from Stoneleigh Road and not from Green
Lane as this road was not capable of taking more traffic.
J) Stoneleigh Road already has a traffic flow of up to 776 vehicles per hour (Sept 2013). This road
is linking A46 to Warwick University and Westwood Business Park.
So adding up to over 8000 vehicles (2 per dwelling) does not make sense.
K) The plan mentions using Coventry Schools, both the Primary and Academy are already heavily
subscribed.
L) A few years ago land on Kings Hill was deemed not suitable for a Cemetery due to the water table (coffins not being retained in the ground). This plus using Green Lane as the entry/exit was
unacceptable as this road was incapable of accepting extra traffic.
M) How can a map be marked "railway station" just because a railway line is in existence? No explanation given. No size given, just a symbol.
Unoccupied houses in the West Midlands is 22257 with 3000 in Staffordshire. I am unable to obtain Warwick District or Coventry figures, however this scenario must be considered in your calculations and revealed.
It has not been stated what type of property is to be built or density.
A lot of basic information such as Medical, Schools, Shops, Community is missing leaving a lot of guesswork.
I will appreciate an acknowledgement of my letter so that should this fanciful idea of houses to be built on Green Belt, a railway station built on Green Belt and ancient hedges dug up continues in Warwick District Council's plans my objections can be referred to and not claimed to have never been received.
Should the approval be made I strongly believe that the full Government subsidy for the building of new houses should be revealed, what are Warwick District Council plans for using this money, and also what the Section 106 money is to be used for, plus how much money is received from the developers.
