I consider that this location should be reassessed with a view to accommodating a large proportion of the housing numbers presently proposed at Lower Heathcote Farm.
If eveloped in parallel with the new rail station this location will offer transport choice to residents.

This is our nearest area of open countryside - to develop this area would be a major loss of habitat for local wildlife and amenity for the local community - not to mention the increase in traffic congestion.

Strongly object to the development of green belt. Also I do not believe Kenilworth has the infrastructure to support such a large development

our local councils seem to be succumbing to the wants of central government and desecrating our green belt land in the process. who is going to buy the 800+ homes and no doubt the poor old taxpayer will end up paying for social housing benefits and grants.
where is the infrastructure to support this ridiculous development, Kenilworth is certainly not big enough and neither wants to be in my view.
THINK ABOUT THE DESECRATION TO THE NATURAL AREA AND STOP THIS MADNESS NOW. WE DO NOT WANT IT SO BE BOLD ENOUGH TO STAND UP TO CENTRAL GOVERNMENT AND TELL THEM SO.

The traffic load in Birches Lane is already very high and if no access is planned from this development direct to the Leamington Road, then alll the extra traffic will come onto Birches Lane.

Thank you for this questionnaire. As I have no information I cannot fill it. However, I think
a) the Thickthorn aree is too confined between the bypass and Glasshouse Lane to be built on, and
b) the impact on Roads/Schools/Shops (with many closing) local jobs (probably none) would be disastrous.
From a clean air/health point of view we must maintain Open Belt areas.
If houses have to be built, is there not an area behind La Reine Gardens available (thereby havinig land between Kenilworth and Coventry)

I fully agree with increasing housing supply in my town , particularly affordable houses; we must not drive young families, vital workers on low incomes out.
The Thickthorn / Birches lane / Glass house would be a TRAFFIC DISASTER. Kenilworth houses generate 2 vehicles per dwelling. Even 1 500 more vehicles emerging into St John's roundabout / A 46 access road / Crew Lane / would be an everyday nightmare. There is no way to plumb in the extra highways + junctions needed to allow the extra traffic to flow. Please, PROVE ME WRONG.

This is important green belt land separating the town from the A46. Road access at the southern part of Kenilworth is already congested at times and furtehr housing in the area would worsen this. Development of this land conflicts directly with the strategic objective on page 75 of the document. The historic tree preservation order covering the area signifies the importance of the trees in the area. This land is ideally suited to be developed into parkland. Housing in this area will just lead to increasing the commuter burden in the District.

In proposing this area no account has been made on the traffic effects and access. Glasshouselane and Birches Lane both suffer from excess traffic and jams in rush hour as does the Leamington Rd. Pouring further cars from 800 houses is unbelievable. The intersection at Windy Arbour is already a danger spot and the bend cannot be straightened or widened without destroying property in the area. If industry is included the addition of HGV's will be disastrous for this area

While this has the advantage of being contained by the A46, traffic congestion at Thickthorn Island and on to Birches Lane already severe at rush hours, would be horrendous and new road -building surely necessary - further detriment to the area. at the very least, the valuable woodland needs to be preserved. Kenilworth seems unlikely to need or be able to sustain 800 houses here.

It would be acceptable to build some houses but the total of 1500 will totally spoil the area around glasshouse lane and windy arbour. Why can't some of these houses be built elsewhere in kenilworth. This is green belt for a reason.

Use of green belt unbelievable. Whatever the use of seeking to protect from urban sprawl is swept away by artbitary bereaucratic directive from govt? Green belt between Coventry and Kenilworth particularly sensitive - already less than half a mile. University already threatening this without new housing.
Infrastructure. Traffic already queuing trying to exit Birches Lane to St John's Island - can only get worse.
A452 to Leamington one of the busiest single carriageway roads in Warwickshire - plans abandoned to 'dual' it.
Railway cuts through Kenilworth - access to town centre or from town centre to Warwick and Birmingham must find way over line. Results in lots of traffic using bridges.
Birches Lane and Glasshouse Lane have become rat runs, are narrow and residential in character - further development would make this intolerable.
Loss of open space over period of years:
Windy Arbour from Glasshouse Lane to Windy Arbour and Park Hill
Bullimore Grove estate
Lawrence Gardens
Gloster Drive
Stickley's Yard
Lulworth Park
Convent School grounds
Newey Drive
Albion Street old Basptist Church Hall
Cherry Orchard
Abbey End, Mulberry Court
Crackley Road (La Reine Gardens)
Dalehouse Lane/Best Ave/Garlick Drive
Abbey End shops
Talisman Square, also other infill at:
Barrowfield Lane, Collett Walk, Barrowfield Court, Leamington Road
These have changed landscape of Kenilworth with loss of open space.
Stop encroachment of Coventry and change of character in Kenilworth

Areas to the north of the district (Finham, Baginton Airport, Kenilworth, Cubbington, Lillington, Milverton, North Warwick and West Warwick should be allocated, due to the overstretched services, infrastructure and massive recent development in these southern areas.

Kenilworth only has auxillary police station which may not be adequate. Fire Station also likely to close.
Warwick hospital's capacity stretched with new developments at Hatton Park, Warwick Gates and adj. A46 at Warwick. Doctors and dentists and local schools of concern.
Need facility of cricket ground and rugby club in the town.
No new employers to support need for house numbers proposed.

Object to Thickthorn site:
Opposed to further expansion of Kenilworth as it would ruin character of town and increase congestion.
Plenty of run down brown field sites in Coventry which could be developed first. Why ruin green belt when there are dilapidated areas in the city?
If devt. goes ahead however:
Extensive noise reduction fencing should be erected along the A46 to reduce noise pollution in Kenilworth.
Car access to town should be via Thickthorn roundabout only to reduce congestion along Birches Lane and Glasshouse Lane. However there should be cycle paths and footpaths from new area to the town to encourage people not to use car.
Would not like to see new road behind house - gardens of new houses preferable.

Object to Thickthorn site:
Appears landowners and Kenilworth Rugby Club were aware of the scheme and in advanced discussions before it came to the notice of local residents. Little time to prepare argument therefore prior to meeting. May be viewed in a different light if architects drawings etc were available.
What is meant by employment land? Will factories be built on green belt land? Schools, doctors and lack of employment and possibly fire cover so how will extra numbers be catered for?
Presumably extra people will mean extra cars. Trees will have to be felled at some stage of the development. Traffic problems along Birches/Glasshouse Lanes. At certain times of day, people will use them as short cuts to Coventry, Leamington and Warwick. At certain times of day, Kenilworth to Leamington Road is at a standstill outside Kenilworth.
