CONCERNS/POTENTIAL OBJECTION:
employment development of large scale/mass in this area, located between two sections of Stoneleigh Abbey GII* Registered Park and Garden (RPG), which is included on the Heritage at Risk Register (HAR), would potentially cause substantial harm. Also, possible impacts on setting of Stoneleigh Abbey GI LB situated within the RPG, on many GII LBs & on Stoneleigh Conservation Area (CA), containing many LBs to north. Less concerned regarding northern parcels of SGL, between A46 & B4115.

Residential properties off Grove Lane:

(a) Congestion: It appears that the development would allow for 10 or more houses. I oppose this suggestion since it would increase size of the village by at least 10% - 20%. Access from the B4115 and through the narrow village road to and then on Grove Lane is already at capacity. Grove Lane itself does not permit traffic to pass abreast in any event. The increasing reliance on home deliveries (of consumer goods and groceries) causes difficulty to movements for existing households, and an increase in traffic by the stated percentage together with peripheral movements to service the enlargement of the village would be intolerable.

(b) Infrastructure: Ashow is not on mains drainage. There is no capacity for 10 or more dwellings together with drainage needs.

(c) Environment: I suggest that Ashow is itself a fragile environment. The character of the village cannot be maintained if such a substantial incursion is approved.

(d) Transport: There is no access to public transport within or immediately adjacent to the village. The nearest bus route is on the A452 at the 'Chesford' crossroads. Thus, the development of this nature will be aimed at purchasers who themselves have one, or more probably two, cars per dwelling. Mathematically, the one village road cannot tolerate the increase of at least 20 cars and their movements without damage to the environment and danger to pedestrians.

(e) Need: Substantial (one might say enormous) housing development is taking place on 3 sites adjacent to Ashow: They are found at Glasshouse Lane, Crewe Lane and Thickthorn. The building of many hundreds of dwellings, which include an entirely new school, is already contributing enormous development to this area (in addition to the development of thousands of properties at Kings Hill, which has already been criticised in Parliament) ). It is not possible to identify the need for much of these developments and the environmental demands that they will make on the locality. I respectfully suggest that the need for the expansion of the village does not exist.

The site near Stoneleigh would greatly impact on this small village, making traffic much heavier along narrow roads, causing problems for nearby residents.
