Firstly, I fully understand there may be a need for additional housing and understand the government’s plans. However, I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed new houses being built specifically in Wilmcote CV37. As a concerned member of the community, I feel it is my duty to highlight the numerous issues and negative impacts this development would have on our beloved village.

Firstly, the addition of new houses would undoubtedly exacerbate the already problematic traffic situation in the town. Wilmcote is a small village with limited road infrastructure, and increased traffic would lead to congestion, longer commute times, and heightened safety risks for both residents and visitors. This is not a sustainable solution for our community, and it is crucial that we address these concerns before proceeding with any development plans.

Furthermore, the proposed housing development would have a detrimental effect on the local wildlife. Wilmcote is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, and disrupting their natural habitat would have far-reaching consequences for the environment. It is our responsibility to protect and preserve the wildlife that thrives in this area, and allowing new houses to be built would be a significant step in the wrong direction.

In addition to the traffic and environmental concerns, it is important to remember that Wilmcote is a historic village with a rich cultural heritage. Mary Arden's Farm, the childhood home of William Shakespeare's mother, is a significant landmark that attracts visitors from around the world. Allowing new housing developments in the area would compromise the village's historic charm and potentially deter tourists from visiting this important site.

In light of these concerns, I urge the local council to reconsider the proposed new housing development in Wilmcote CV37. It is essential that we prioritize the well-being of our community, the preservation of our environment, and the protection of our cultural heritage. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I hope you will take our concerns into serious consideration.

As I do understand the need for new housing to be built, having reviewed the Preferred Options Consultation Interactive Map, I personally believe due to the better road conditions, less flooding possibilities and proximity to industrial/employments hubs the following areas would be a better fit: F2 and F3.

Thank you for taking the time to read my concerns.
