Disproportionate expansion - the combined area of proposed sites SG15 and SG16 is 655 hectares. This dwarfs the present developed area of Wellesbourne, approximately 235 hectares (obtained from Google Earth maps), and would increase the total area including Wellesbourne by 3.8-fold. This huge sprawling urbanisation of Wellesbourne would totally alter the local character of our rural village.

Infrastructure - local schools are at capacity; sewage system is inadequate; traffic congestion in and around Wellesbourne is a major concern; risk of flooding in and around Wellesbourne is an ongoing concern.

Agricultural land – high quality land would be lost at a time when food security is an important national priority.

Allotments – The SW Local Plan inaccurately includes Wellesbourne allotments in area SG16 although the site has been moved off the Reserved Housing list and has been designated as OpenSpace/Biodiversity/Green Infrastructure.
