It is an intensive and dominant scale of development.
Any development placed next to the Banbury Road would be extremely detrimental to the setting and character of Warwick Castle Park. As part of the history of Warwick Castle Park, it is apparent that the new line of the Banbury Road enlarged the park by an additional two hundred acres so that in 1791 it covered 751 acres. The final section of the new road avoiding Bridge End and entering Warwick by the new bridge was carried out between 1788 and 1793. In the process of enlarging the park a section of the old road was flooded and a new larger lake, New Waters, was formed, and this extended across the new road. The pool created to the east of the Banbury Road and the associated planting formed part of the park itself. The second earl, George Greville was responsible for the enlargement of the park and planned the approach to the castle as a sequence of views. Commencing with the spire of 5t Nicholas Church which can be seen at the centre of the line of the road, the features of the town gradually unfold terminating with the panorama of the castle and the town which was finally revealed from the new Castle bridge. The magnificence of this unusual sequence of views would be irreversibly changed if development was permitted in this location.

PO3: Broad Location of Growth
ID sylw: 50819
Derbyniwyd: 02/08/2012
Ymatebydd: C and S Taylor LLP
Asiant : Parklands Consortium Ltd
Policy PO3 also states that WDC's preferred option for the broad location of growth is to concentrate growth within and on the edge of the existing urban areas. South of Gallows Hill/The Asps is on the edge of the historic park and is not at the edge of an urban area and thus does not fulfill the aim or objective of policy PO3.

PO11: Historic Environment

PO11 Historic Environment states:
"Protect the historic environment from inappropriate development, by:
Including policies which protect Scheduled ancient monuments, Listed Buildings, Conservation Areas, Historic Parks and Gardens and locally designated assets."
The proposed site South of Gallows Hill/The Asps is introducing development that is inappropriate and does nothing to protect the historic environment for the reasons already outlined above. This is clearly illustrated on the map asttached, an extract from the 1813 Ordnance Surveyor's drawing of Warwickshire, on which is superimposed the proposed area in question. This map shows the completed park with urban development to the north and agricultural land on the other three sides. Although there has been subsequent development in the vicinity of Warwick, agricultural or open land still comprises the major part of the setting of the park. This would be significantly damaged by the present proposals.

The choice of development site South of Gallows Hill/The Asps is also in conflict with the policy PO15 green infrastructure as this relates to the importance of the natural and outdoor environment that is preserved by the parkland and its environs, and is identified as being of a particularly high quality.
