The planning committee officially rejected the proposal for the field today. Watching my neighbors and friends rally to protect our village character has been truly humbling. We kept our green space safe for now but I will keep a close eye on the council to ensure they respect this decision …

This petition has been set up to collect the names of those people who wish to object to the Planning Application to build 50+ houses by Bilton Grange on the field adjacent to the school drive on the Rugby Road, Dunchurch on the A426 ...... The impact of this on the residents of Dunchurch will be to : ADD SIGNIFICANTLY TO THE VOLUME OF TRAFFIC THROUGH THE ALREADY CONGESTED VILLAGE. This is in addition to increases resulting from the crematorium site, a marina complex at Onley, development of the mast site etc BUILD ON GREEN OPEN SPACES. Creating a precedent for other future development of more open spaces within the village TAKE ANOTHER IRREVERSIBLE STEP TOWARDS REMOVING THE INDEPENDENCE AND CHARACTER OF THE VILLAGE blurring the boundary with Rugby ADD ANOTHER MAJOR T JUNCTION ON THE A426. Recent road works show how Rugby Road is sensitive to even minor traffic flow changes. The new junction will not solve any of the current traffic issues relating to Bilton Grange School.

I have been spending my evenings reviewing the planning documents and mapping out exactly how much gridlock these new junctions will bring to our doorstep. It is frustrating to watch our green fields disappear but your messages remind me that I am definitely not the only one fighting to save the character of our village.

Seeing this level of support for our fields reminds me how many of us cherish the quiet space by the school drive. It is heartening to know so many neighbors feel the same urgency about protecting the character of our village.

Ridiculous decision. Leave the green space alone! Dunchurch is losing its identity because of these constant expansions.

The traffic is already a nightmare at school run times. We dont need 50 more houses adding to the gridlock.

That road is dangerous enough as it is. Adding a new junction is just asking for accidents to happen.
