I hope this email finds you well. I’m writing to comment on the proposed preferred options for the SWLP around Hatton, Hampton Magna, Hampton on the Hill and the surrounding Budbrooke area.

I do not believe there should be any more houses built on these surrounding sites. The road networks are not fit for more road users, with peak hours in the morning and evening already being unbearably busy and congested. Adding hundreds more people and cars will make it so much worse.

Additionally, the local schools, doctors and pharmacies are already hugely overwhelmed. It’s a struggle to get an appointment, wait times are long, the staff work tirelessly and face abuse from people who are frustrated by the delays to the service. It’s simply not acceptable to try and add thousands more people to these already struggling institutions and businesses.

Lastly, I am truly concerned about the surrounding flora and fauna that call these proposed sites home. Humans are already encroaching more and more on their homes. There are beautiful species of birds like Green Woodpeckers, Great Spotted Woodpeckers, Kestrels, Buzzards, Kites, numerous smaller birds like finches, tits, robins, field fares, jays and others that will be hugely impacted by increased housing and expansion. Not to mention the impact on the already hugely declining insect population, without which we would not survive. We cannot afford to lose any and more of these species, and the impact they have on people’s mental wellbeing by being able to go out in nature and find joy in the surrounding greenery.

South Warwickshire is already a massively overpopulated area and I beg that you consider the impacts on everyone and everything that lives here should the choice be made to build further housing. It cannot be supported. To support would be to accept that we don’t love our country enough to safeguard the rapidly shrinking beauty that still exists here.

Please listen to the many people that are against these proposed plans.
