I am concerned by the scale of the proposed housing, which seems grossly exaggerated. The Plan reports a need for 1,679 dwellings per annum, but suggests allocating 600 surplus houses to allow sufficient flexibility. This will have a significant negative impact on the important habitats and protected species across the area. The Local Plan must deliver houses in suitable numbers for residents but in suitable locations and must not disregard the Environment Act 2021 target of 30% of land allocated to nature and in recovery by 2030.
The Plan also allocates many housing sites in the Green Belt.

It is not clear how building houses at the level suggested can be done "sustainably", particularly in regards to car use. This area has a car culture (think JLR) and it is not obvious that current efforts to move towards public transport and bike use have been successful in changing this culture.

Radford Semele Parish Council supports the option identified, but it is undermined because other sites put forward by developers are still being considered. These other sites should be deleted.
The District Council should challenge the governments housing targets for the area.

How confident is the committee that the housing number targets are valid. We are being told in the media, that birth rates in the UK are falling considerably. Mortality rates are stagnating, with people becoming less healthy due to obesity and other preventable illnesses.
I fear that large areas of farmland will be destroyed which may over time become redundant, due to falling need. It would take many years for such areas to be returned to an eco-friendly environment.

The scale of proposed development seems highly excessive to the level of detrimental and counterproductive to environment commitments and needs. It also crosses into the Green Belt, disrupts numerous important habitats and existing sites, and there is no evidence of sufficient reviews or assessments to support to use of restricted land in this way.

Housing needs survey to inform our need going forward not arbitrary figures. Employment land is already increasing with current proposals with no infrastructure to support it. No evaluation of the current road system to support development and no infrastructure proposed to support the needs of current residents and proposed future residents and businesses.

1. Hampton Magna will be become a rat run for people to access Jct 15 if the amount of housing in the plan for Hatton and Hampton Magna is approved.
2. Birmingham Rd and Stanks Island cannot cope now with the current number of cars.
3. Hatton Station has no direct links to London/Birmingham so commuters will drive to Warwick Parkway.
4. Warwick Hospital is at capacity already.
5. No places at Schools, Doctors/Dentists.
6. Encroached continually on the green belt with erode all green belt in the area.

The approach doesn't take into full consideration the availability of medical care, education, road layouts, traffic, and current flood risk (surveys are outdated and do not consider the current housing usage and weather), let alone the damage to green belt (not just about diversity - safe barriers between villages).

The New Settlement Assessment (as at Preferred Options) paper sets out the approach to assessing the potential new settlement locations, drawing on a range of sources used for the assessment. Four of the 12 potential new settlement locations (including site E1 at Meon Vale / Long Marston Airfield) are categorised as more suitable options, eight as classed as less suitable. It is noted that Site E1 scores RED (ie poor) on the transport assessment.

There are a number of strategic locations as per my comments where growth should take place due to their available infrastructure both in highways and rail availability and accessibility.
The introduction of growth south of Stratford upon Avon has always been a mistake and will continue to be a mistake.
Not only is it an area which is close to the AONB and higher value landscape it is highly unsustainable for highways reasons predominantly but also it is furthest from main employment centres. Stratford simply can not cope with further development in this location

Absolutely not. Growth is not simply about building more boxes, or running the county on a spreadsheet. People live in these areas and have chosen them for character and community, along with quality of life. To impose thousands of new buildings - whether commercial or housing - is shortsighted and neglects the fact that there are actual human beings involved. You cannot simply say "there's room for 100 units there" without looking at the bigger picture - that this plan will rip up the countryside, replacing grass with concrete, forever, and without having made significant prior investment in infrastructure. Lunacy.

The plans will destroy south Warwickshire by over developing, losing our wild belt, over development and building on or near vital spaces key for nature and wildlife. Do not build on these green spaces. We need to protect and preserve these spaces for our mental wellbeing, health and wildlife. How can you reach your goal of 30% space devoted to nature by doing this.
The policy does not provide enough detail on how important environmental assets will be protected and enhanced, especially when a large number of the allocations are next to and even covering important designated Local Wildlife Sites

While the proposals are generally high-level, there is a clear contradiction between preserving green spaces and enhancing biodiversity versus the extensive development plans. It’s important to recognize that such widespread development is inherently detrimental to the environment and local biodiversity. Any suggestion otherwise misrepresents the true impact of the so-called ‘sustainable’ development.”

I reject building on Green Belt. The Green Belt is important to protect the countryside from urban sprawl and retain the character of rural communities. It is important for health and wellbeing of residents, as well as the UK's food security. Many animals and birds rely on it. In particular, building on site B1 would be a death sentence for wildlife. Green Belt contributes significantly towards reducing and mitigating climate change.
NPPF Paragraph 147 confirms that Green Belt should not be developed if other options exist. The classification of Green Belt Land in the Plan and the technical evidence appears dubious, inconsistent and confusing. I suspect that consultants have been commissioned to give a non-balanced view. NPPF Paragraph 157 sets out increased affordable housing requirements of up to 50% where Green Belt is released. This and likely requirements for new Highways Infrastructure will make building on Green Belt unattractive and unviable for developers. Where they do decide to build they will pressure the Local Authority to relax the rules and build more profitable executive homes.

The council should implement policies that provide most benefit to its current voters. A net increase in number of houses is not required for existing voters. Government housing targets can be ignored without consequence. Building houses is unsustainable, incompatible with the UK's legal net zero obligations and harms the welfare of current voters.

Too many houses are being built in Kenilworth, little if none meeting the needs of young Kenilworth people who are forced to move away from family and friends due to the wrong type of houses being built.
Kenilworth also requires more infrastructure such as nurserys, schools, doctors, shops etc.
