Lack of soundness and effectiveness

I am concerned that very little attention has been paid to the infrastructure needs required to complement the scale of development being proposed.

There appears to be a lack of credible planning for schools, highways and healthcare, particularly for developments in more rural areas.
What little detail there is seems to show that developments will not benefit local people. In fact development is more likely to adversely affect existing communities and diminish existing quality of life.
For example, there will need to be increased travel and higher vehicular movements to transport children to extended schools on already severely congested roads.
Hatton Park is a case in point. Surely it would be better for WDC to plan for a new school on the site along with development of sites H28 and H53 which would provide a far more sustainable option for existing and future residents as this would increase social cohesion and reduce the need to travel?

The town of Warwick seems to be already under great strain from recent surrounding housing development. The plan puts unsustainable pressures on already stretched healthcare and transport systems.

The plan as proposed is not effective and needs far better infrastructure planning for it to become credible.
