No. Warwickshire Wildlife Trust (WKWT) is extremely concerned regarding the allocation of a new settlement and the potential environmental impacts. Local Wildlife Sites, Potential Wildlife Sites, Sites of Special Scientific Interest, designated Nature Reserves and other important sites are incredibly important for wildlife within our natural landscape. It doesn’t appear that the Councils have considered these in the selection of their new settlement locations.
Several proposed settlements in the Local Plan are within existing Green Belt, which if built on would have a negative impact on designated sites and wildlife including protected and declining species at these locations, which act as transitional buffers for nature and would reduce access to nature for people living in urban areas.
Impacted Local Wildlife Sites are listed below:
A1 /2- River Alne LWS, Round Wood and Long Wood LWS, Grove Wood PLWS and Grotton Hill Wood LWS
C1 - Gilbert’s and Claypits coppices, Linnear Woodland LWS
E1 Allocation – This site is very concerningly directly adjoining and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Meon Vale LWS, River Avon LWS and the greenway, dismantled railway, Welford Hill Farm Meadows PLWS, Rumerhill Coppice PLWS and Coxmere Coppice PLWS
BW Allocation - Newfoundland Wood LWS, Stratford Canal PLWS, River Avon LWS and Wood by Churchill
G1 Allocation - Itchington Holt PLWS
Allocation F1 - Long Itchington and Ufton woods SSSI
Allocation F2 - Deppers Bridge Meadow PLWS
Allocation F3 - South Southam LWS and Disused railway LWS.
