Ymatebydd: Mr Jon Evans

Our grounds for objection to the Proposed Development on Site B1 are the following points:
Green Belt Concerns
Removing our safe space for mental health recovery
Environmental Impact on local biodiversity and ecosystems.
significant ignorance to the Infrastructure Strain
Lack of Deliverability Assurance and clarity of detail
Local Community Opposition

According to the HELAA results site B1 is located entirely within the Green Belt,
playing a crucial role in preventing urban sprawl and maintaining the character of our rural areas.
The Green Belt Review Stage 1 indicates that this site contributes strongly to Green Belt purposes.
Developing this site would breach these purposes and set a concerning precedent for future
encroachments.
Removing safe space for mental health: we use the rural lanes in B1 for daily walking our dog as a
means of providing mental health walks,this has been a lifeline to provide time and space for our
wellbeing.
Environmental Impact:The development of site B1 could have significant adverse effects on local
biodiversity and ecosystems. The area is home to various species of flora and fauna that could be
disrupted by construction activities and increased human presence.
Infrastructure Strain: It would place significant additional strain on local infrastructure, including
roads, schools, and healthcare facilities. Ferncombe school had to expand and is now full.Likewise
budbrooke medical is already at max.Union View roadwork calamity of 18 months means B1 site
would cause chaos for years.
As we have seen locally, developers are only interested in building for profit without substantial
investment in these areas, the quality of life for existing residents would be negatively impacted and
those commuting.
Lack of Deliverability Assurance:B1 site was brought forward in the 'Call for Sites', but its
deliverability remains debatable. Without any clear assurances and plans for infrastructure and
community support, the development could lead to incomplete or unsustainable growth.
Community Opposition:There is significant opposition from the local community regarding the site.
Many residents, like ourselves, feel that the character and integrity of our community would be
compromised by such a large-scale site.
In conclusion, I believe these objections are important because:
In conclusion, I urge the planning committee to reconsider the inclusion of site B1 in the South
Warwickshire Local Plan. The potential negative impacts on the environment, infrastructure, and
community far outweigh any perceived benefits.
In addition, vast new builds are consuming the countryside with developers surreptitiously using the
government objectives to line their profits, without consideration.
