I agree with the need for settlements were the housing stock cannot be met by smaller develpments , in line with Neighbourhood Plans and developments around and in major conabations. BW however, is covered by a wash over green belt, forms part of the Avon Valley Character Area protecting wildlife and there movement.
It would ruin the approach to Stratford, a town of culture by forming ribbon development, all developed on a high location that can be seen for miles.
This area of land is poorly serviced and the River Alne and Arrow already flood without further hard landscaping.

New Settlements help avoid the issue of increasing large settlements and sprawl around historic town centres, Like Leamington Spa and Stratford Upon Avon and the infrastructure/bridges over rivers in these towns that were not built for the size of settlements these have become. The infrastructure is not built to handle the amount of traffic now seen in these historic towns as traffic moves from North to South or East to West

The ease of use of this site is poor & you are unable to submit detail due to 100 word limits. The proposals for the countryside do not consider the very poor infrastructure- road, rail, schools, doctors, bus routes, energy & water & until there is a clear plan for this tnothing should go ahead

The areas around Warwick suffer constant road congestion and more so when the M40 has issues.
All development under B1 would add to this traffic load significantly.
Current GP & Schools capacity is already under heavy strain.

-We strongly agree with the aim of new settlements where residents can fulfil most of their day-to-day needs within the settlement itself. For this to succeed, 20-minute neighbourhood principles are required.
-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 CO2 emissions and running costs per home.

Main criteria for choosing site seems to be that landowner is prepared to sell the land which should not be the key driver behind where the sites are chosen. Also facilities seem to be over stated in proposed sites. I.e. Bearley has a Train Halt and not a Train Station as stated in proposal.

I do not agree that the proposed new housing settlements are necessary. There will be sufficient additional housing provided by the Strategic Growth Locations in my view. They are all better supported by existing infrastructure and community facilities and should be prioritised for development before any new settlements as a matter of principle.

The proposed c6,700 homes between Wilmcote and Bearley will impact adversely and be extremely costly to implement -

Road infrastructure would not cope

Medical and education establishments required

Railway stations at both W and B villages have little or no parking facilities.

Devastating impact on green belt and wildlife - cannot be regained once lost.

Historical village of Wilmcote will be eroded - Shakespeare property Mary Arden’s House in Wilmcote.

Greater flooding risk to new and surrounding properties.

Leamington and Hatton areas more suitable not least because of their superior transport links to motorways and main roads.

Having site B1 as 'More Suitable' points to huge errors/negligence in the process thus far. The land promoters themselves openly admit that current infrastructure ( travel, health, education etc) would be entirely inadequate but then attempt to gloss over these problems by bundling in solutions which are in no way feasible or realistic (e.g. widening existing roads which cannot be widened, Hatton Railway Station as major commuter solution). B1 land promoters have got away with making hundreds of claims that are in no way based in fact or reality - this proves beyond any doubt that the process is broken.

The presence of a railway line does not mean that the settlement is accessible. Timetables are set by National Rail and prioritise intercity connections over local connections. Rural stations are by implication therefore under-served and will continue to be under-served unless on the West Coast line where capacity will increase with HS2. Rural stations were created when the settlements surrounding them were much smaller - creep in piecemeal developments over the years has placed pressure on those stations for parking, inaccessibility and service levels which will not be reinstated to the detriment of national network service capacity.

You may wish to consider clear communication on the amount of (and visual impact/density of?) development that might be accommodated across these sites - the information for the range of possible 'strategic allocations' is rather buried within the interim SA document, p.50 and 63.

New settlements make most sense to deal with housing needs and avoid destroying the historic centre of Stratford and its nearby villages, but infrastructure must built first to avoid further pressure on the existing.
E1 and BW make the most sense, but E1 requires a new river crossing as Clopton Bridge could not cope - it is already way above its design capacity.

In respect of helping to address the Greater Birmingham and Black Country Housing Market Area (GBBCHMA) housing shortfall, we consider that development in the most sustainable locations which provides sustainable commuting links to the wider conurbation would be appropriate. We consider that new settlements would also be appropriate, as they would generate a significant scale of housing with associated employment uses, justifying significant infrastructure and transport improvements including new and improved commuting links.

We welcome the acknowledgement of the West Midlands Strategic Employment Sites Study (2024). This assists in meeting an identified regional need for such strategic employment sites.

New settlements are supported as they can meet housing needs with minimal environmental impact and without harming existing communities—if they are large enough to attract investment and have planned transport infrastructure. They prevent excessive edge-of-town development, reducing infrastructure strain and isolation. Success depends on size, purpose, and location. Small settlements near major towns risk becoming urban sprawl, whereas larger ones with homes, employment, and strong transport links are more viable. There is no evidence that defining a clear purpose for each settlement has been considered in assessments or used to evaluate their potential success.

The concept of new settlements is supported as they can deliver the majority of the housing needs, minimise effect on the environment, without detrimental effect on existing settlements.
A small/medium sized new settlement close to a major town is likely to become urban sprawl. A new major settlement that has homes, significant focused employment; a purpose, is likely to be successful.
There is no evidence that the above approach of defining a clear purpose for each New Settlement has, or will be, considered in the assessment, and used as a factor for assessing its potential success.

We disagree with the approach in draft policy direction 2.

We believe that any new large scale housing developments should be located near existing large settlements if the housing is required at all. This would ensure that there is better access to services and proper infrastructure in place, unlike the approach highlighted where massive new developments would be built swallowing up tiny villages, reducing the countryside appeal of our district.

We also believe the HELAA methodology has been incorrectly applied in the assessment, with the criteria RAG rating not followed consistently.

Far too many homes have already been built in our county. Additionally, the houses build are not eco-friendly, are not affordable and the services (school expansion) have not been put in place - at least not quickly enough-this needs to be all corrected before further homes are build. Nothing should be build on green field sites. Nothing should be build until all the empty unused buildings in the area have been re-developed.

I don't agree with the scale of building that is proposed across the entire country with this new administration.
Who can afford the houses? Are populations increasing? Birth rate is not, so is this intended to be replacement of exiting dwellings with newer more energy efficient homes?
If not, why don't all new builds have solar panels on rather than ereccting huge solar farms to swallow up yet more green belt, which spoils views, and reduces productive farmland. If nobody in the country wants this many extra houses, why are we being bullied by central government? Is this Communist China?

Clearly The words are excellent at "fascinating the fools" but the strategic growth areas and F1 and F2 combined with the wholesale use of land for solar panels and indeed HS2 (neither of which are shown on the interactive maps) belies the fact that the area will be anything but urban sprawl with metal and glass infill.

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.

new settlements are preferable to edge of town development. They are more likely to attract appropriate infrastructure, schools, shops etc and create more sustainable communities.
