The new houses already, built and being built in Kenilworth have no new infrastructure, putting a strain on medical and other services.
The proposed SG04 almost reaches Leek Wootton, so is not within walking distance from the town centre and services as suiggested. This would lead to increased traffic on already busy, small roads. This is not sustainable, as suggesred by the rating

I am concerned that your focus on sustainability ignores the importance of demonstrating exceptional circumstances when considering green field sites. I am also concerned that your sustainability appraosal is technically floored. You have ranked sites by sustainability, but not set a threshold for what might be considered sustainable. Showing that one site is more sustainable than another does not demonstrate that it is actually sustainable.

There is a pretence being perpetuated that the combination of development proposed and solar panel exploitation will somehow enhance the environment or provide a sustainable development when there is little of no agricultural land providing food.

The number of houses propose seems vastly exaggerated and will have a profound and irreversible impact on the natural environment of South Warwickshire. The Local Plan must not disregard the Environment Act 2021 target of 30% of land allocated to nature and in recovery by 2030. The fact that the Plan allocates many housing sites in the Green Belt is unacceptable. These areas are important land designations intended to protect the edges of wildlife sites and provide a transitional and safe area for important protected and declining species.

We do not agree that the strategic site need of 125ha is sufficient.
The 125ha figure is a consequence of para 4.11 of the C&W Alignment Paper. The figure is a residual figure based on an assumed need (which we consider to be greater), and, with an existing strategic supply, deducted. As our own research prepared by Marron’s suggests (copy appended for details of the calculation), the residual strategic sites need across C&W should be increased. In addition, the assumed supply of strategic sites is less than the WMSESS advises.

I am a member of Warwickshire Wildlife. Warwickshire Wildlife Trust is extremely 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 Plan also allocates many housing sites in the Green Belt, which is an important land designation intended to protect the edges of wildlife sites and provide a transitional and safe area for important protected and declining species.

South Warwickshire itself does not have 'Development Requirements', and this requirement is externally driven.

The difference between the HEDNA total (41,975, 41% approval in the I&O consultation) and the revised NPPF Standard Calculation (54,700) is unexplained, disproportionate and unacceptable, and should be challenged by the SW district councils.

The policy should refer to the standard method not the HEDNA. The housing requirement should be uplifted to accommodate the level of affordable housing that is needed. Lapse rates and non-implementation allocations need looking at. Existing commitments need updating when the new monitoring year commences. The plan has the opportunity to direct new growth to areas adjoining train stations.

The South Warwickshire Councils must continually review the Local Housing Need up to adoption, they must consider an increased higher housing need, implement a 5% lapse rate to account for unimplemented commitments, and reassess the existing commitments and windfall allowance as outlined.

The approach based on Option 4 of the previous consultation and the identification of strategic growth locations based upon that option is supported. This approach is undermined because many other sites put forward by developers are still under consideration. These other sites should be deleted with growth accommodated at the selected strategic growth sites, any potential new settlements and sites of under one hectare in area.
South Warwickshire has already accommodated considerable growth. If there is an opportunity to challenge the basis of the government’s new targets the District Councils should do so to revert to the locally calculated numbers.

It is appreciated that the Draft Plan was prepared in advance of the revised NPPF. However, as advised by paragraphs 61-62, the minimum numbers of homes needed is to be determined using the standard method, plus any needs that cannot be met within neighbouring areas. The Plan should therefore provide for a minimum of 54,700 dwellings, plus any unmet needs to be met through its Duty to Cooperate obligations.

There is no need to further expand capacity for even more houses. This will cause irreversible harm to the green belt though loss of farmland and habitats. The danger that it will cause at site SG06 on the Old Milverton Road with 2 schools in the area and many children walking along the already congested roads. This will lead to further accidents and appears to be a disregard for the safety of the community. In addition, there are no additional facilities planned e.g doctors surgeries, shops, leisure facilities.

I am in broad agreement with the approach. However where large scale housing developments have already taken place and Infrastructure has degraded or is yet to be provided as is the case in Shipston on Stour, then this needs to be rectified whether or not there is new building. This is especially true for GBI and open space. See Infrastructure needs attached.

Whilst we broadly support the strategy of directing development to sustainable locations we believe that the councils' HEDNA should accommodate the changes made to the Standard Method in December 2024. Greater clarity is needed on how the joint councils' will meet what is likely to be a significant shortfall in housing provision to ensure when potential sites come forward consent can be granted inline with the Government's aspiration to create 1.5 million new homes in the course of the next 5 years.

Building a lot of housing will reduce their value, and reduces the open space that is so attractive in Warwickshire. This will cause people of high net worth to move away to escape the destruction, leaving only people of lower net worth, this will make Warwickshire a less attractive place.
Keep house building to a minimum, which will encourage high net worth people to come here.

The principle is sound, but any development must be predicated on proper in-tandem development of basic infrastructure, notably transport. Experience in Shipston shows that "development" means "allowing builders to develop while requiring little to no corresponding investment from them in infrastructure". Until and unless this changes, development should be restricted to those areas where rail and road transport is already available.

Infrastructure must be provided before areas are released for development. Every effort must be made to ensure that residential development is within easy access by sustainable methods of travel, i.e. public transport and walking, to minimise the reliance on the private car. Housing must be concentrated where there is non-car access to employment areas. Assurance is required that development will be cascaded down from new towns, access to non-car transport, easy access to the full range of infrastructure (i.e. health care, education, public transport, employment and retail) before development is carried out in rural settlements where the infrastructure is sub-standard.

How can this be sustainable when the current evidence shows that development in Leamington & Warwick over the last 7 years has been catastrophic. Having Warwick Hospital closed in January shows that we do not have sustainable facilities now let alone in the future. To make a real sustainable future we should be looking at new towns NOT tagging on thousands of houses to Leamington & Warwick. Access to Leamington and Warwick means crossing rivers. The evidence has shown that in the last 7 years we do not have sustainable developments. They have impacted negatively.This will make it far worse

Infrastructure-increased traffic on smaller country roads, potential road works causing delays to commuters, reinforcing bridges over canals & rail lines to support increased traffic. Services to our doctors Surgery/School & Trains station will be affected, as they are either over subscribed or have inadequate service. The entire land proposed is Green Belt! Disruption to and destruction of Canal Conservation Areas as well as the few public footpaths we have maybe lost.
