Do you support or object to the development of Kenilworth Wardens Cricket Club, Glasshouse Lane, Kenilworth?
Representation ID: 43622
Received: 19/03/2010
Respondent: Kenilworth Golf Club
The concern of Kenilworth Golf Club is that the requirements of new housing at the Wardens and Woodside will place additional traffic demands on Crewe Lane with which the road is unsuited to cope. Further we are concerned that such additional housing will place a requirement for additional roads and infrastructure services, for which no detailed plans have been announced, and our concern is that such roads and services do not impinge upon the golf club land.
In September 2009, Kenilworth Golf Club made comments to WDC on the Core strategy, reference ID 2957. In that representation we expressed concern at the absence of infrastructure plans to meet the needs of the new houses proposed at Thickthorn, particularly with regard to traffic and services. This concern arises for two primary reasons. Firstly, Crewe Lane, on which the golf club is located, is a road with no footpaths and is substandard in width and alignment over at least part of its length. Of concern to the Club is the potential for increased usage of Crewe Lane. As a consequence of that, what action will be taken to either prevent such increase usage or, alternatively, cope with the increased usage. Our second concern is to seek assurance that any requirement for additional roads, traffic junctions or the provision of services do not encroach on the land of the golf club, which is already very constrained for space.
These concerns, expressed with regard to the proposed new houses at Thickthorn, are greatly increased by possible building on the land occupied by Kenilworth Wardens and Woodside.
