Representation Summary:

I have lived in and around Cheswick Green for 40yrs. In that time from being a relatively Rural Village, the area is being gradually encroached upon with developments. Dickens Heath was built on Green Belt Farmland and Dog Kenne Lane and surrounding farmland was earmarked in all LDP’s to be kept as a buffer between the 2 Developments. First we had to accept further development at Cheswick Green and noe development in Blythe Valley, which began as a Nature Reserve! There is a now because of these developments not enough infrastructure for the proposed number of houses and people.

Change suggested by respondent:

I think the development needs re-evaluating in terms of the proposed amount of houses. There needs to be a new Primary school built either in Blythe ValleY or Hockley Heath, and most definitely new medical facilities ie. Doctors surgeries, not least because of the extra developments on the Stratford Rood ( A34). It would seem that land is being developed from all sides and the congestion lack of planned infrastructure is going to blight all the local communities involved.
The proposed amount of another 1000 plus houses will put too much pressure on our local communities and needs to be re-evaluated.
