I do not support the proposals in this chapter regarding SG22 'The West of Studley Parcel'. It is totally obvious that this SG22 proposal has been put together by persons not familiar with the area or what the public desire regarding future developments.

The Lepus interim sustainability appraisal of the South Warwickshire local plan, is as previously mentioned, seriously flawed with inaccuracies due to not having sufficient local knowledge and is therefore not fit for purpose.

The site does not conform to development land guideline set by the government being neither brown nor grey belt land but 122 acres of prime green belt agricultural land which produces a significant grain crop each year.

The site provides a much-needed green buffer between Studley, Middletown, Sambourne and the outer reaches of the major combination of Redditch.

Major effects would be a building blight due to the elevated aspect of the land along with people, noise, traffic, light and air pollution.

The infrastructures to support such a development have been seriously underestimated regarding the provision of gas and electricity requirements.

The proposed development is on a hill which will give an undesirable impact on the surrounding vista, in other words a 'blot on the landscape'. Lepus says schools of every type are easily accessible and while this may be correct they fail to understand the fact that each is full with little or no room for building expansion.

Studley has few leisure facilities, a small swimming pool and children's park and that's all, to find other facilities involves a 20-to-30-mile car journey at a time when we are being asked to use the car less.

Public transport is a major issue with only a basic bus service available, there is no train station.

In addition, if the proposed SG23 Alcester development is built, 50% of the traffic from this development will head north towards Studley either on the A435 or A448 compounding the problem further.Lepus said all the above was positive in support of SG22, a statement which is totally confusing, it makes no sense and is totally incorrect. The conclusion is that this proposal is seriously flawed in so many areas it should be withdrawn.
