BW – Land at Bearley and Wilmcote –capacity 6480 homes: OBJECT for the following material planning reasons which are not policy compliant to the Core Strategy 2011 – 2031.

1) Significant harm to the heritage assets and values of Mary Arden’s House in Wilmcote

2) Significant harm caused to the character of the landscape

3) Impact and significant harm and loss to the Green Belt

4) Existing and extensive flood issues in Bearley would exacerbate the flood risk causing significant water issues and insurmountable surface water runoff

5) Significant increase in the number of vehicle movements on the busy A3400 without improved road infrastructure. The infrequent rail service at Bearley negates residents from using this branch line. The existence of a railway station does not equate to an efficient train service with no direct connection to Birmingham or Coventry. The proposal to split the town with the A3400 running through it reflects a contrived development and would lack both design and distinctiveness for a new town.
