The proposed developments would significantly damage the character and beauty of our landscape. Wellesbourne’s rural charm and open countryside would be permanently altered by large-scale construction, erasing the picturesque scenery that defines our community.
​
Flood risk is another major concern. The area is already vulnerable, and further development would increase surface water runoff, heightening the risk of flooding for existing and future residents.
The lack of rail connectivity means residents would be forced to rely on cars, worsening traffic congestion and pollution. Increased vehicle movements, combined with quarry activity, would degrade air quality and harm the environment.
​
Losing our best and most versatile farmland is unacceptable. This land is vital for local agriculture and food production, and its loss would have long-term consequences for both the economy and food security.
​
The scale of development threatens Wellesbourne’s village status. Expanding the village so drastically risks turning it into a town, stripping it of its character and community identity.
​
There is also no clear plan to provide additional schools or healthcare services. These are already under pressure, and the proposed increase in housing would place even greater strain on them.
​
If approved, these developments will cause irreversible harm to the local area and the wellbeing of residents. I urge the council to rethink these plans and ensure any future development genuinely considers the needs of the community and environment.
