Delivering sustainable transport is the weakest part of the plan. Large settlements designed to increase the proportion of non-car trips are the most plausible way to avoid the car use that plagues existing towns. It may not be favoured by developers but that should not be given much weight in choosing the more sustainable plan.

The approach seems to be to have selected large swathes of land in proximity to railway lines (without stations, or likelihood of future stations) or M40 J12 which is already under huge strain even before the 3,000 home development at Gaydon Lighthorne heath is occupied. This looks like an incredibly lazy town planning approach done only from satellite without any understanding of the topography, character or context of the area. The impact of this is to frustrate rural communities, overwhelm local infrastructure and promote development in unsuitable and unsustainable locations.

For this to succeed, 20-minute neighbourhood principles are required: minimum size of 6000 homes, high density in the centre, primary and secondary schools, shops and other community infrastructure. This reduces congestion compared with urban sprawl and reduces the number of green fields allocated to housing.
The current criteria for assessment of sites does not include a climate change assessment. The 36 sites should each have a carbon modelling process to determine the highest and lowest.

Broadly I support the Strategic Objectives
On balance, the approach set out in the draft plan seems reasonable, noting it is to respond to the required numbers dictated to the Council by the standard method imposed by central government. It should be ensured that growth happens in a sustainable and sensible way, with any new housing and commercial development accompanied by necessary infrastructure. By necessary infrastructure, to mean roads, schools, medical facilities, community facilities, flood protection, amenities and open space.

I feel SG and brownfield sites should be of utmost priority to provide our housing needs. Creation of new 'towns' in the open greenbelt is something I strongly disagree with due to loss of farmland/amenity land and lack of facilities in these areas. It changes the look of the landscape forever and loses us valuable resources that as an island are in short supply. If greenbelt should be encroached upon then it would be better used for sustainable energy production where at least farming and wildlife can hopefully co exist with it.

It needs the addition of a clear statement that the Green Belt in SDC north of Henley will be protected at all costs. New settlements or expanded existing settlements will only be considered when all available sites elsewhere have been exhausted.
Given the proximity of Redditch, Bromsgrove, Birmingham and Solihull, the need for more and more houses must not override the avoidance of urban sprawl that this part of Green Belt provides.

I agree with the aim of new settlements following 20-minute neighbourhood principles: minimum size of 6000 homes, high density in the centre, primary and secondary schools, shops and other community infrastructure. This reduces congestion compared with urban sprawl and reduces the number of green fields allocated to housing.

The current criteria for assessment of sites does not include a climate change assessment. The 36 sites should each have a carbon modelling process to determine the highest and lowest, and have this be incorporated in site selection.

I strongly oppose the large-scale housing development in our village because it threatens the very essence of what makes a village a village—something vital to the identity of rural Britain. Our community has already suffered severe flooding three times, forcing us from our home each time. More concrete and tarmac will only worsen this crisis. Our infrastructure—roads, schools, doctors—cannot cope as it is, particularly the routes into Stratford, which are already overwhelmed. Our children are blessed to grow up in the countryside, and we must protect what remains. Not all land should be sacrificed to development—some countryside must stay countryside.

Local Wildlife Sites, Potential Wildlife Sites, Sites of Special Scientific Interest, designated Nature Reserves and other important sites are vital for wildlife. The Councils don’t appear to have considered these in selecting new settlement locations.

Several proposed settlements in the Local Plan are within existing Green Belt. If built on they would have a negative impact on designated sites and wildlife including protected and declining species at these locations, which act as buffers for nature and would reduce access to nature for people in urban areas.

Local Wildlife Sites are Impacted at:

Proposed 6,800 house at Bearley. This is a huge development which will have a detrimental effect on the locale, which is Green Belt The risks are increased traffic , flooding , air and noise pollution. The effects of recent developments south of Stratford Upon Avon are a full testament to this. Urban development on good farmland and close to existing green spaces and wildlife reserves makes no sense with climatre and diversity crises. The centre of Stratford is in need of regeneration and improved housing with an affordability focus in the town makes more economic sense.

There is already a new development at Fenny Compton, further development in the area such as Knightcote would be detrimental to the rural location. Homes built are unaffordable to local people. Roads, services, schools & medical facilities are already under strain. The natural habitats have been devastated by local HS2 works & this proposed development would create more chaos and destruction of the rural environment. The area is prone to flooding and any potential development should ensure that residents are not in danger of further flooding caused by inappropriate building in vulnerable locations.

The plan is based on what landowners have chosen to offer. Thus all that flows from this starting point negates a holistic view of what South Warwickshire can offer for the future.
The resulting piecemeal approach where most of the proposed development is destined to hang off existing and unsuitable roads will only add to the current congestion and is likely to deter potential employers from establishing or growing their businesses here. This would in turn deter housing developers.
Using New Towns legislation would be cheaper; more controlled and more sustainable.
