Green Belt land defines the character of village settlements and the loss of the villages with a large development such as C1, will create sprawl into important Green Belt land which maintains village settlements while providing a balanced lifestyle for people to enjoy green spaces.
We are of the opinion that there are better site options available, for example the proposals at Hatton. An approach to make available more sites as smaller developments, rather than one body of land area would be a better solution and negotiate the concerns raised better. Additionally, increasing existing towns could be a better solution where they are better equipped for further expansion; Stratford on Avon being a good example.
The inclusion of site C1 in its entirety will have an irreversible devastating impact to the character and purpose of the surrounding area of Lapworth and Rowington and we thus formerly object to its proposal in the strongest terms. The loss of important farmland to support central Government vision to provide sustainable solutions to feeding the country will also be a lost opportunity.
There is evidence of a distinct lack of resources to support a large development area suggested in C1 and expansion or creation of new, will have further impact on the road infrastructure. There are better options than C1, for example in the Hatton area that could contribute to the housing requirements that the Council seeks to achieve.
We respectfully reiterate our strong objection to the selection of C1 as an option for the satisfaction of housing needs and urge the Council to consider either smaller site development, expansion of existing towns or appropriateness of other options put forward.
