I object to Ref IDs 562 and 16. Visual impacts on the rural approach to the village were key factors in rejecting parcels 1,3,4,5, and 6 in the 2021 SHLAA Land Parcels Assessment. Developing these sites would result in loss of Grade 1/2 agricultural land and wildlife habitat. The HELAA scores do not account for the Little Haven nature reserve bordering the site which is part of the County Council Local Biodiversity Plan. Development will lead to coalescence between Bidford and Ardens Grafton. Surface water flooding is an issue on George Elm Lane and Grafton Lane either side of these fields and development would increase flooding by the old railway bridge and up to the Golden Cross. Do not add more traffic to narrow roads with steep hills which regularly see accidents. Traffic would increase through Ardens Grafton and Temple Grafton to access the A46. Rail can only be accessed by crossing the medieval bridge in Bidford to access Honeybourne where there is very limited parking.
