Warwickshire Wildlife Trust (WKWT) is extremely concerned regarding the allocation of a new settlement and the potential environmental impacts. Local Wildlife Sites, Potential Wildlife Sites, Sites of Special Scientific Interest, designated Nature Reserves and other important sites are incredibly important for wildlife within our natural landscape. It doesn’t appear that the Councils have considered these in the selection of their new settlement locations.

I'm extremely concerned regarding the allocation of new settlements and the environmental impacts. Local and Potential Wildlife Sites, SSSIs, designated Nature Reserves and other sites are vital for wildlife within our natural landscape. It doesn’t appear that Councils have considered these in the location selection process.
Several proposed settlements in the Local Plan are within existing Green Belt, building on which would have a negative impact on designated sites and wildlife including protected and declining species. These locations act as transitional buffers for nature and their removal would reduce access to nature for urban-dwellers, with consequent loss of wellbeing.

The towns infrastructure will not cope with large developments. This will need to be sorted before more houses are built. Damage to wildlife and greenbelt. The towns roads are already too busy.

The proposed locations at E1 and BW are unsuitable locations for new settlements. A stronger focus should be on larger new settlements in locations that are closer to the main employment centres, the larger highway network areas and where there is strong rail links. These are locations around Leamington, Warwick, Henley in Arden and also larger growth along the M40 at Gaydon and Lighthorne.

Schools, surgeries etc are not adequate for the number of houses being built. A key question is how many of the homes will be affordable for people already living in the area and how many will be social housing?

The approach as stated is not borne out by the selection of sites, which as my supporting letter outlines, seems to have been prioritised at this stage largely on availability of sites. The importance of Green Belt as mentioned in the results to the I&O seem to have been largely ignored by the SWLP. Some of the new settlements would not be sustainable, as that at BW, and would result in urban sprawl from the practically adjacent conurbation, in this case, Stratford. The SWLP should opt to select a brownfield site or one outside Green Belt as per the NPPF.

The approach is delusional. It takes no account of the Strategic Objectives which, in the context of these proposals, seems to be nothing more than window dressing. New settlements of the sizes proposed are insane and take no account of the absence of infrastructure and facilities. You also appear to have forgotten our aging population, which needs good access to healthcare. Warwick A&E is already terminally overburdened; where is it you propose the occupants of all these new houses and commercial premises get treatment? Not one area in this plan has been earmarked for new hopsitals or roads.

We think three of the settlements at Hatton, Long Marston and Bearley are appropriate and sustainable. Two have rail stations already, and if one can be provided at Long Marston that will make it more sustainable.

Apart from the increase in pollution through much increased traffic and already overloaded police/health/education services, there is no parking at Bearley or Wilmcote train stations which would cause congestion on the roads nearby.
Furthermore, Wilmcote is a significant attraction for tourists seeking to visit sites closely connected with William Shakespeare. A development of new houses would detract from the tranquility and historic ambience of this important area.

The RED/AMBER/GREEN classification of site characteristics is flawed. RED is used by the Council to represent ‘Impossible to Achieve’ and Green seems to represent ‘Certainty or No Barrier to Achievement’. All Other Options are represented by an AMBER rating taking no account of Viability, Risk, Timescales or Cost to Achieve. Therefore virtually all are classified as AMBER.
This leaves the ‘evidence based’ claims and the applied process unsound. Classification of suitable sites is dictated exclusively by subjective personal ‘judgement’ and Confirmation Bias on the part of Planners.
The Strategic Transport and Education Assessment scoring and HELAA model are therefore unsound.

No the approach should not be as drafted as we need to keep the urban area separate from the countryside so greenbelt area and i am sure that I have read this within other policies and statement of Warwickshire councils
We need to keep as much of the green belt as possible to keep the necessary nature environments and the for the farming land that we need to grow and breed the home grown products rather then lesser quality imported food

In order to deliver sustainable housing growth the SWLP requires a range of allocation types to meet its growth numbers. New settlements have their place in helping the area meet its housing needs. However, it order to not be overly reliant on one particular typology of spatial strategy the new settlements should be complimented by some sustainable urban extensions of existing towns and some development in sustainable villages. Summix submits that additional growth in Henley in Arden adjacent to the existing railway station would help the Councils meet their future housing needs sustainably and reduce reliance on new settlements.

The original justification to development in the Meon Vale / Long Marston Airfield area was to make use of previously developed land. The development has been developer led. Any further development in the area will be on greenfield sites and should be properly planned. It should be steered by the Council’s adopted planning guidance which sets out the standards for the housing and employment development and the timing and means of delivering of all aspects of transport and community infrastructure required to serve the new community.

New settlements offer the best solution over adding lots of housing to existing towns that cannot already cope with the demographic.
Without new towns you will create social disorder and eventual breakdown of society. Drugs, crime and poverty are based on urban extensions, look at Trinity Meade or Bishopton - these are both broken parts of town with high crime rates above the national average.

What has happened in every other major development will be repeated here.
Countryside devastated.
Small villages decimated.
Urbanisation of the rural communities. A way of life gone for good.
Investors flooding in to buy housing.
Unfinished building sites.
A removal of the vital lower price homes for young people and families.

Large new settlements are preferable to small developments, as long as they are built with 20-minute neighbourhood principles so that additional car journeys are minimised. I am particularly supportive of high density building, so that housing need can be accommodated without covering large areas of greenfield land.

Green Belt to be protected. Urban Spawl needs to cease. Other countries recognise the issue and have started ceasing extending urban boundaries. Focus on Infill, Brownfield sites and build up. Agricultural land to be protected especially grade 1 to 3 unless the UK has decided to cease supporting it own agricultural industry. This includes excluding protective farmland from becoming solar farms. The Call of Sites has now identified sites to be considered for solar panels once housing declined.

I agree with the concept of providing new settlements which can be developed into self-contained small town over time. However, in this draft plan, most of the suggested areas ar far too small to fit this model. This seems to be because the concept is, once again, driven by the land which has been offered up rather than srategic planning. Several of the areas are in the green belt, with no "exceptional circumstances" justifying their inclusion. This strategy needs to be far more refined to create a realistic long-term plan which will see one or more areas developed fully.
