-The annihilation of what has been considered for many years as the 'village green' and it is the last open space in the village.
-Cause irreversible harm to open outlook and listen setting of the church and its surroundings.
-High visibility impact of over 100 similarly styled properties ruining the heritage and village identity (i.e. White Lion, thatched cottages)
-Outpouring of significant numbers of vehicles from the proposed development on to the Southam Road. Area is already pressurised and any increase to the 'standing traffic' could heighten the risk of accidents, particularly on the blind bend at Manor House.

-Will cause the least long term disruption to the village.
-Majority of functional, rather than aesthetic, objections will apply to the other potential sites and particularly surface water drainage which is already grossly inadequate for sites 2, 3 and 4.
-The new residents will have considerably safer vehicular and pedestrian access from Site 1.
-The aesthetic objections will apply to all sites for different reasons but will apply to fewer dwellings in site 1, than to other sites.
-The scenic views enjoyed at the moment will be enjoyed by a great number of new villagers, which ever site is chosen.

-Developing Site 1 would negatively impact the village's identity, heritage, landscape and setting of the church and other listed buildings.
-The A425 cannot accommodate additional traffic and many junctions have limited visibility creating danger for pedestrians and drivers.
-Site 1 provides flood relief and is an important habitat for bats and birds.
-The site has archaeological importance.
-Insufficient infrastructure exists in the village to support new housing.
-The A425 separates the site from the village and its services causing risk to pedestrians crossing and encouraging residents to travel to supermarkets.
-1994 Planning Inspectors Report rejected development of the site.

-The church would still be able to be seen over the green field from the main Leamington/Southam Road.
-The church would be integrated into the main village.
-There would be no linkage with Leamington.
-The development would only be seen as you enter the village from Leamington and would be partially hidden by the existing houses in Offchurch Lane.
-Traffic lights at the existing pedestrian crossing at Southam Road would work well ensuring pedestrian safety for school children.
-Proposed car park in Church Lane is an excellent idea.
-Development would all be contained within present village boundary.

-Need to protect the identity of the village as a district from Leamington Spa, the setting and countryside seclusion of the church, which is listed and the village's heritage of open fields.
-If future development to the village is necessary this site cannot be expanded.
-An additional road joining the A425 in this localised area will be a severe safety hazard.
-There are known sewage, drainage and flooding issues.
-Pollution and noise will impact on those of use living adjacent to the A425.

-Road widening of Church Lane with removal of matured trees, without being a problem to WDC is in contradiction of a 65 year old Walnut Tree in the front garden of this address has a preservation order on it.
-Ruination of the open views across to the countryside, ruining the area close to the church, which according to established guidelines should be safeguarded.
-Traffic problems will be made worse wherever the access points are.
-Area is a natural rainwater holding area.

-Development will permanently ruin the setting of the church and other surrounding listed buildings. The area contributes to the identity of the village. Planners have a duty and responsibility to protect this.
-The site is of medieval interest.
-The proposed access is dangerous. Exiting from Offchurch Lane is already difficult and dangerous due to the blind junction for traffic approaching. More development and commuters would add to this congestion.
-The sited pedestrian crossing near Church Lane will add to congestion.
-The mix of types and density of the proposed housing is inappropriate to a rural site adjacent to listed buildings.

-St Nicholas Church and the listed building nearby, together with Church Fields, represent the historic, medieval heart of the village. It is a source of solitude and tranquillity for residents, walkers and church goes.
-The view of the church is crucial to the village's identity. High density housing would be inappropriate for such an ancient and lovely spot.
-The traffic produced by the proposed dwellings would impact heavily on Southam Road.
-The Offchurch Lane junction can be dangerous and accidents have occurred. The White Lion pub is on a blind bend and has its dangers at peak times.

-The setting of the church should be protected and not spoilt by an inappropriate housing estate.
-The area gives Radford Semele its character as a village.
-The views from Offchurch Lane will be spoilt.
-The bus runs very infrequently and when it does run it is often full. The service cannot cope with more people.
-The traffic is already very dangerous and the roads make it difficult for me to see properly.
-Putting in a new junction opposite the pub or changing the layout of School Lane/Church Lane junction will make children's journey to the school very hazardous.

-The Southam Road is also very busy; any extra pressure from new home owners would increase this pressure greatly.

Site 2 should not be developed on because:
-The site is outside of the village envelope and extends the village boundary.
-The layout/visual effect would be an urban spread.
-Development would cause habitat loss, an increase in flooding, loss of agricultural land, affect recreational users of the area and would impact the openness of the landscape.
-Developing Site 2 with the properties proposed would distort Radford Semele's housing mix balance.
-Access would be difficult and dangerous.
-Flooding would increase.
-The location is not suitable for families due to its proximity to the dangerous Southam Road.

-Current open countryside would be replaced by a housing estate, in direct contravention of Council duty to protect the setting of a listed building in planning and against the PPG15 and PPG16.
-The type, allocation and density required are inappropriate for this setting. The site cannot meet the required levels and types of housing required.
-The extra traffic created by the new housing exiting onto the South Road/School Lane/Church Lane junction or opposite the White Lion on an already busy stretch of road would be dangerous, increasing accident risks to motorists and pedestrians using this stretch to get to/from school.

-The development would damage the heritage of Radford by harming the outlook around the village.
-WDC has a statutory obligation to priorities other less harmful sites.
-Any new access road will cut across the setting of the Grade II Listed Buildings and this is against the duty of the council to protect the setting.
-The church fields are fundamental to the identity of the village and planners have a duty to heed this heritage. Building homes goes against this.

-Do not consider any of the sites as suitable for further development but where additional housing is compulsory, Site 1 would appear the most suitable.
-All sites will lead to traffic congestion in the village but there is already a pedestrian access across the Southam Road by controlled lights to allow school children to cross and other village amenities to be reached. There is no suitable crossing place for sites 2 or 3 and even widening the pavement would not be possible at the point between Hill Cottage and Apple Tree Cottage.
-Being a regular pedestrian on this stretch, I can vouch for the speed and volume of traffic, even within the 30mph limit.
-Site 1 is also an infill to the village without breaching current boundaries extending unnecessarily into the Green Belt. No further large development of the village is satisfactory in traffic safety terms.

-The site is an iconic marker for the village and the open space on entrance/exit to the village is vital to maintain the village's identity.
-The church has been cherished since Anglo Saxon times.
-Congestion on to/from the Southam Road from Offchurch Lane, School Lane and Kingshurst creates delays. It is difficult to join these roads and frustration has caused errors of judgement and potential for accidents. Any access from the site would worsen these problems and impact the lives of existing villagers.

-The volume of housing is too much compared to the existing local population density
-The Gladman proposal equates to a development that has more than 3 'Gladman -Homes' for every existing home in the area, this is not comparable or sympathetic.
-The proposal would destroy the character of the village.
