The proposals need to focus on:

• the level of growth required - housing and employment
• how this should be accommodated, urban/ rural, small, medium and strategic level growth
• a single rather than 2-part plan
• identify and carry out settlement boundary reviews or establish where appropriate
• embrace the December 2024 NPPF update especially Grey Belt sites such as site 518 at Elmhurst Farm.
• embrace infrastructure ‘in the round’ taking full account of the move to zero emission vehicles
• deploy development to help achieve 20-minute neighbourhoods in urban and rural areas alike.

I broadly support the aims of this chapter. My main concern is that the mapping tool on the consultation website shows that many of the sites selected contain quite a few strands of land that belong to flood plains, and a lot also include woodlands, ancient woodlands, nature sites, etc. I don’t know if this means these are threatened, but certainly we shouldn’t be cutting down mature woodlands to build houses, or building on flood plains, and if that is intended, it would contradict policies in Chapter 11.

25 years is too long. Too much is reliant on green belt. Too many blunders regarding HS2 and the bridge over the A46 certainly do not inspire confidence in the councils abilty to oversee projects. A £16million overspend is not acceptable. Houses built with no roads or roundabouts as promised. Vanity projects built such as humps,cycleways, pelican crossings that aren't used. Worrying that councils will perhaps amalgamate and Warwickshire will be lost between debt ridden councils of Coventry and Birmingham. It seems that these huge projects all seem good on paper but in reality have incompetent people leading the projects.

As I have stated on individual sections in this plan, regeneration of brownfield sites and higher density building providing a mix of housing for people in our conurbations has the massive advantage of providing housing close to people's place of work, it utilises old redundant land stock, and it minimizes overspill that might overwise blight both the Green Belt and our pastoral landscape beyond. Prime focus must be in preserving both the character of our South Warwickshire landscape, dramatically improving biodiversity and providing wildlife hotspots / reserves across the region so that wildlife has corridors to move between such landscapes.

During the life of this plan, vehicles will move to zero carbon, therefore eliminating one of the concerns of private car usage. In addition, autonomous vehicles, vehicle sharing and other potential technology changes will affect developments and trends should be taken into account in density, and sustainability assessments.

All new settlements should be mandated to include networks of cycle routes, separated from the roads, to encourage active travel.

We object to the poor quality of the evidence base used for preparing this document. We previously raised extensive concerns about overreliance on out-of-date, not fit-for-purpose and insufficiently robust supporting background technical evidence in our response to the Issues and Options consultation. The emerging Sustainability Appraisal continues still does not promote sustainable patterns of housing development in the South Warwickshire region. Additionally, the technical evidence does not acknowledge the significant economic recession impacting the area. This is not compliant with the approach expected in paragraphs 16, 32, and 36 of the Revised NPPF.

I formally object to the proposed housing developments in South Warwickshire due to several concerns. Increased traffic would worsen congestion on busy roads, affecting residents and businesses. Our local schools, dentists, and doctors are already overstretched and cannot accommodate more residents. Additionally, the area is prone to flooding, which would worsen with more homes, and valuable farmland would be lost. The character and natural beauty of our village are at risk with large-scale development. We already have sufficient housing plans in place, and I urge you to reconsider this proposal.

I object to the proposed developments on several grounds. Firstly, I am concerned about the loss of farmland and public space at a time when food production is crucial in the UK. Additionally, the area's transport infrastructure is inadequate, and there are significant drainage and flooding issues. The existing infrastructure lacks the capacity to support such large-scale development. Furthermore, the sustainability of these projects is questionable, and they appear driven by profit rather than community needs. Finally, there is already sufficient development planned to meet future requirements, making this proposal unnecessary.

I believe the proposed development scale in the district is excessive and politically motivated, projecting housing needs until 2050, which may not reflect future realities. Current plans for new settlements are progressing slowly, and I feel they should be completed before considering new developments to avoid significant community disruption. There appears to be a lack of enforcement regarding infrastructure improvements and developer commitments, as seen in the Bishopton development. I advocate for strict mitigation measures and a detailed plan to ensure infrastructure is addressed before any new significant developments are initiated.

We believe the housing targets in the Plan are inadequate and do not align with the new Standard Method requirements for December 2024, also lacking the necessary 5% buffer. Although there is an acknowledgment of the shortfall, the proposed flexibility does not sufficiently address the need for 2,188 dwellings per year. I suggest revising Policy Direction 2 to indicate the necessity of new settlements and including Long Marston Grounds as a viable option. Additional assessments are needed to address neighbouring authorities’ housing needs, incorporate a 5% buffer, and provide details on housing requirements and affordable housing percentages.

Stratford has been excessively overdeveloped, with a housing supply of 24.65 years as of April 2024, leading to significant infrastructure issues and declining quality of life. Warwick also had 7.16 years of supply. Traffic congestion, particularly from lorry traffic on Shipston Road, poses health risks, and Stratford town lacks proper rail and bus connections. Local residents feel frustrated by poor planning decisions. At Long Marston facilities promised by developers have been delayed. We need a proper ring road and additional bridge. The Green Belt is essential to protect the countryside, and I urge careful consideration before further damaging Stratford's character.

I appreciate the opportunity to give my comments and I realise that the numbers of houses and principles have been set by Central Government, however I have serious concerns about the huge and likely detrimental effect on wildlife and the environment, which is unacceptable on every level.

All animals, plants, trees, insects, bats, fish, amphibians etc are an essential part of our environment, which must be protected. Losing hundreds of acres of agricultural land and grazing will have a negative effect on this country's food supply and massively increase our carbon footprint, which is not sustainable and totally contradicts the work to protect and save the planet.

I am shocked by the proposed housing growth figures for South Warwickshire. The target of at least 41,975 dwellings by 2050 suggests a population increase of about 120,340 people, which is an unsustainable 40% rise. This drastic change is not supported by the community and lacks a democratic mandate. I advocate for local councils to refuse these central government targets and to allow local referendums to reflect the true feelings of residents. We must protect our countryside, local character, and quality of life from profit-driven developments. We need a more sustainable and community-focused approach.

Based on technical evidence from the South Warwickshire Local Plan documentation, it is apparent that large-scale housing development in this area faces substantial obstacles related to infrastructure limitations, environmental constraints, and questionable housing need. These factors collectively suggest that extensive housing development in South Warwickshire may be inappropriate and potentially harmful to the region. The evidence suggests that large-scale housing development in South Warwickshire would be inappropriate, potentially harmful to the environment and existing communities, and unlikely to address the genuine housing needs of the area.

I attended a housing consultation in Ashorne and was shocked to discover proposals for 12 large-scale developments, which I find unacceptable. This plan prioritises profit over community needs and sustainability. I advocate for a dispersed housing strategy, distributing developments across smaller sites to protect rural character, reduce infrastructure overload, and promote community integration. This approach allows for gradual improvements and fair economic benefits while ensuring developments are community-driven. I urge decision-makers to consider these alternatives rather than follow the large developers' interests.

Wates Developments support the Spatial Growth Strategy set out in Chapter 4.1 of the Preferred Options document and consider that the “Sustainable Travel and Economy” option presents a suitable option for growth which prioritises access to sustainable travel options as well as access to key centres and employment areas. It is considered that the allocation of land at Coppington Farm, Wellesbourne (part of Strategic Growth Option SG15) for employment uses can support the spatial growth strategy by providing significant employment opportunities in close proximity to Wellesbourne, which will complement the planned expansion of the University of Wariwck Wellesbourne Innovation Campus to the west of the Site. As the SWLP preparation process continues, Wates Developments will continue to engage with the University of Warwick and other landowners within SG15 to explore opportunities to align the proposals further to deliver a comprehensive development.

- I am concerned that neither Figure 5 or Figure 6 (which are key images within the document) include the route of HS2 even though this will be a key feature of the landscape during the plan's lifetime and so think it is important that this is added into the Plan.
- In planning terms HS2 forms a hard landscape feature and permanent solid barrier to the north of Leamington. It is important that development in the greenbelt does not extend over this barrier as it will result in rapid erosion of the greenbelt between Leamington and Coventry, which is already heavily under pressure. I therefore feel the somewhat arbitrary "priority area" circles in Figure 5 North of Leamington should be more specifically demarcated so that the HS2 route forms the northernmost boundary of the priority area to the North of Leamington.

South Warwickshire has suffered enough development already. The proposed number of houses for 2025-2050 would obliterate the character of the area and put an overwhelming burden on infrastructure. There is no need at all for any more housing. If there were, there would not be a single house on the market as they would be being bought up immediately and in desperation.

While I understand the need for development, I believe the current plan poses several significant issues that must be addressed.

Firstly, the proposed development would cause substantial harm to the character of our landscape. . What are close knit communities will become homogeneous towns losing the look and feel of country life that I sought.

Additionally, the plan raises serious concerns about flood risk. The proposed developments would significantly increase the risk of flooding in our area, which is already vulnerable. This poses a threat to both property and safety for current and future residents.

The lack of rail connectivity is another critical issue. Without adequate public transportation options, residents will be heavily reliant on cars, exacerbating traffic congestion and pollution. This is particularly concerning given the anticipated increase in vehicle movements and quarry activity, which will further degrade air quality and contribute to environmental pollution.

Furthermore, the current plan does not adequately address the need for educational and health facilities. With the expected population increase, there will be a greater demand for schools and healthcare services, which are already under strain. The plan must include provisions to expand these essential services to meet future needs.
Many of these concerns will cause irreversible damage to the locality and health and happiness of residents (old and new).

Other areas should be considered first, e.g. with the reduction in need for office space etc there must be plenty of brownfield land that could be used before the need to build on fields.
