The traffic on Kenilworth Road is already significant. 1150 more houses will worsen this problem significantly.
The high street and amenities are small and are not even adequate for the current population (compare Knowle high street to Balsall Common high street). To add 1150 could effectively bring in another 3000 people, depending on housing type. For that, the village would need an entirely new central hub, of which there simply is no space.
I fear you are turning a small village into a town, without any consideration of what a town sized population actually needs.
No housing without a bypass.
