Ref SO1: The site is not a sustainable location. Whilst the site is close to a railway line, there is no immediate access to a station. This means any residents would be reliant upon motor vehicles.

Health and Education Services as well as community facilities are non existent in the area. Residents will need to travel to Southam, Leamington or Banbury to access these facilities. Therefore they will require a car or a much improved Bus Service.
Ref SO2 & 3: Whilst we appreciate that some of the infrastructure would come with a new settlement, this rural site would not have any existing infrastructure in place when the development commences.

Transport
Rated in the reports as Amber TRANSPORT should be Red.

SO4-The opportunities for jobs lie towards the North of the District, in Birmingham and Coventry.This site is a considerable distance from these areas, and also from any Strategic Growth Locations in the Emerging Spatial Growth Strategy Options. As there is no railway station near this site, residents would need to travel by car to get to these economic activity areas; this is not sustainable and not within the Strategic Objectives.
SO6- Biodiversity will not be encouraged or increased with more development.
SO5- Most of the site contains agricultural fields and not efficient use of land.
SO9- Many tourists will want to stay at Stratford, Warwick, Oxford or the Cotswolds.
SO11-Poor choice in terms of transport.
SO12- Building a new settlement on existing agricultural land neither protects nor enhances our environmental assets.
There are flooding issues on the site.
