I am writing to formally object to the proposed development of 6,000 homes on site C1 as
outlined in the South Warwickshire Local Plan (SWLP). My objections are based on several key
concerns:Impact on Green Belt: Site C1 is located within the Green Belt, which serves as a
crucial buffer against urban sprawl. The development would undermine the integrity of the Green
Belt, which is intended to preserve the character of rural communities and prevent the merging
of towns.Environmental Concerns: The development poses significant risks to local biodiversity.
Site C1 is home to various species of flora and fauna that could be adversely affected by largescale
construction. The loss of natural habitats would be detrimental to the local
ecosystem.Infrastructure Strain: The current infrastructure in the area is not equipped to handle
the influx of residents that 6,000 new homes would bring. This includes roads, public transport,
schools, and healthcare facilities, which are already under pressure.Flood Risk: Site C1 is in a
flood-prone area, and further development could exacerbate flooding risks. The increased
surface runoff from new constructions could lead to more frequent and severe flooding events,
impacting existing residents.Lack of Sustainability: The proposed development does not align
with sustainable development principles. There is insufficient emphasis on renewable energy,
sustainable transport options, and green building practices.I urge the planning committee to
reconsider the inclusion of site C1 in the SWLP and explore alternative sites that do not
compromise the Green Belt or the well-being of existing communities.
