Sustainability

The proposal does not align with sustainable growth policies. There is a lack of good connection to public transport routes and the proposal would place additional strain on existing public transport links B1/SG07 fails to meet South Warwickshire sustainable development requirements which aim to balance economic growth with environmental protection of social well-being as such this would be unsound and should not be progressed.

Flooding

There are existing flooding problems in the area. It is not clear from the proposed local plan if flood mapping data has been considered and assessed. Drainage in the area is insufficient for the existing housing the proposed development under B1/SG07 could exacerbate these issues leading to an increase of flooding for current or future residence consequently B1SG07would be unsound if progressed

In conclusion I strongly oppose the adoption of B1/SG07 in the South Warwickshire local plan. It is clear that this site would be unsound due to the unsustainable pressures it would place on the local community, local road network, local health and educational infrastructure. I am also concerned that development of these sites would do immeasurable harm to the local environment and wildlife. Furthermore, the whole plan is based on AI conceptual designs rather than fact as it currently stands.

Consequently B1/SG07 should be removed from consideration for many further iterations of the local plan. I hope that the planning authority will take these concerns into account.
