The brownfield site (#691) mentioned above is interesting. The Cemex site is listed as 104.74 ha (more than 250 acres). If we add this to all the other HELAA “prospects” in the Long Itchington area ( that have been put forward by the non SWLP team) we get to approximately 199ha (500 acres) - good for many thousand houses. This is not much smaller than the new “towns” at Ufton (F1) and Deppers Bridge (F2) by the time we have added suitable transport infrastructure new schools, doctor’s surgeries etc.
Together, these would make Southam and Long Itchington one, ribbon-development urban area – not a very edifying planning concept. In particular, this would change the nature of Long Itchington – from a unique, attractive and distinctive village with many historic buildings and independent facilities. HELAA 691 directly conflicts with Strategic objectives 7, 8,9 and 10.
