This is regarding the Clopton quarter. Any development on this proposed site would be detrimental to wildlife across the Welcombe hills area. There would be an irreversible impact on the landscape around the nature reserve. The greenbelt land is a key part of the local community, enjoyed and appreciated by many, this would be a devastating blow to the local area. The increased flooding from building here and the traffic and infrastructure implications, we simply wouldn't cope. You will turn what is a beautiful place to live into a mess!

The local development plan assumes population growth and housing need until 2050, driving its policies. It proposes numerous Strategic Growth Locations and Potential New Settlements, which Tysoe Parish Council believe could harm South Warwickshire's rural character. Tysoe’s current protections will remain, but we strongly disagree with the SWLP's housing need assumption, which has increased by 104% compared to the Core Strategy, without credible evidence to justify this. This flawed premise risks considering unsuitable development sites and contradicts environmental goals. I cannot support the plan as presented due to these baseless housing numbers, despite some acceptable policies.

The document does not conform to national planning policy and must be redrafted to reflect the latest National Planning Policy Framework version.

Draft Policy 1 must confirm the key priorities of the SWLP as required by the Framework - to significantly boost the supply of homes in a sustainable manner, and provide sufficient employment land to meet the Districts’ needs. It must NOT set maximum provision figures. These would unnecessarily restrict the ability of the area to meet the key aims.

For housing provision, references to the 2022 HEDNA should be removed. The policy should set out the minimum number of homes needed assessed using the Standard Method (see NPPF paragraph 62). Adequate flexibility must be incorporated for changing circumstances, and to accommodate housing needs arising from beyond the Districts’ boundaries.

We support meeting much of the housing requirement though new settlements and significant extensions to existing settlements. Particular attention should be given to accommodating development in locations already supported by necessary infrastructure and facilities, and those where they can be provided. In accordance with NPPF paragraph 22 the plan period should be extended from 25 years to at least 30 years, and housing and employment requirements increased accordingly.

I support Option 4: Sustainable Travel and Economy, but the plan lacks a clear strategic vision, focusing instead on housing numbers. The Community Planning Alliance highlights an overemphasis on new builds rather than urban regeneration. The NPPF prioritises brownfield over Green Belt development, yet the plan fails to explore town centre renewal, with unnecessary Green Belt loss. Infrastructure funding is uncertain, risking failure. Affordable housing, not executive estates, is needed. A 20-minute neighbourhood approach is preferable, but only with firm infrastructure commitments. We should build up, not out, prioritising urban density over countryside sprawl to support sustainable, connected communities.

I do not agree that Bidford should be an area of sustainable growth as no access to railway other than crossing a medieval bridge to Honeybourne which has limited parking . This is not sustainable. There is limited education facilities, an already stretched medical and dental facility and the village has grown exponentially with housing in the last 10 years.

Local amenities already over-stretched, include GPs, dentists, hosptials.
Limited local employment opportunities.
There are no exceptional circumstances to justify removal of green belt land in accordance with NPPF. Other sites far more suitable. Without boundaries the gap between kenilworth and leek wootton would be reduced. Which undermine the purpose of greenbelt and kenilworth boundary would extend into the countryside. Extra traffic along unsuitable single road(Rouncil lane) already used by HGVS from the abattoir, would become more dangerous.
Sites should not be influenced by developers preferences to develop easy and cheap sites.
Creating more danger for cyclists of national cycle route52.

Leamington has already exploded in the past five years. The roads are jammed, the services are overstretched and the vast housing developements and population explosion is changimg the character of the area and making it unpleasant. Infrastructure cannot cope with all the new 29,000 homes being concentrated in a few massive developments in the area particularly south Leamington and Whitnash which is gridlocked. These houses need to be fully dispersed across the whole of warwickshire with every town and village taking a handful of them. This woudl be a fairer, more sustainable appproach as the infratrusture will always play catch-up.

No, because you are planning to build on green belt. I agree with the Green Party's view that the most effective way to reduce the number of green fields to be allocated in this local plan is to shorten the period so that it would end in 2042. This would mean that only about half of the new land would be available for development and would put the Council in a much stronger negotiating position with developers. The developers should not get to cherry pick sites that are not going to benefit current and future residents, merely line their pockets!

Whilst we broadly support the strategy of directing development to sustainable locations, we believe that the councils' HEDNA should fully 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 in line with the Government's aspiration to create 1.5 million new homes in the course of the next 5 years.

We have lived in Wellesbourne for over 15 years. The school ,Drs, public transport, roads and river levels were already under stress from over development. The new proposals for planned houses and their location are absurd, knowing all the factors listed above. Road access for the proposed development is nowhere near sufficient, and realistically, with the expected influx of new vehicles, could be considered to be nothing short of dangerous.
With 300 new homes proposed, the local primary school does not have the capacity for the number of primary age children expected. Dr's and NHS dentist likewise.

Twenty-four areas have been identified as locations for potential strategic growth. To provide the opportunity to consider reasonable alternatives, the identified strategic growth locations could accommodate well in excess of South Warwickshire’s housing and employment needs, and it is not expected that all of the areas will be allocated in the SWLP. If not all of these are required then at this stage of plan making it should be clear which ones are not going to be considered further, to actually have a ‘Preferred Option’ to then fully test and demonstrate where housing will be located.

Generally no as it is considered the primary purpose of the Plan should be to meet the growth requirements expected of South Warwickshire in a sustainable way.

The emerging plan appears to be focused on strategic scale developments and ‘big players’ whereas a more balanced approach is necessary. There also appears to be a strong ‘urban-focussed’ agenda when a more balanced approach is required, given the prevailing rural character of the plan area.

This is the case with the potential allocation of land for employment development at Holly Farm Business Park.

The revisions to the National Planning Policy Framework and the Standard Method for calculating local housing need necessitate a minimum of 2,188 dwellings per annum in South Warwickshire. The outdated Housing and Economic Development Needs Assessment (HEDNA) should be updated to reflect current demographic trends, and the true housing need must be thoroughly assessed. Long Itchington is identified as a sustainable location for additional housing growth, with necessary services available. Therefore, the site north of Leamington Road should be allocated for residential development in the South Warwickshire Local Plan.

In my view, the housing demand calculations are based on some very spurious assumptions and seem to assume a continuing never-ending growth in population, backed up with very few facts. Current housebuilding has been far slower than earlier plans assumed, and demand for many years to come can be met by existing allocations. There is no need to redesignate green belt land to meet reasonable growth assumptions.

The housing target for the area is impractical and totally unsustainable in a rural area like South Warwickshire. The infrastructure will not be able to cope without massive investment which is unlikely to be forthcoming. Development alongside existing rail stations only makes sense if those stations can cope with the extra demand and are accessible - many rural stations such as Hatton Station are not suitable sites for further development. No development should not take place in the Green Belt. Priority should be to develop the area around Gaydon (because of its proximity to M40).
