Having lived in Whitnash for 48 years, I am concerned about the South Warwickshire Local Plan. The area lacks the necessary infrastructure to support proposed housing developments, with existing issues like traffic congestion, water supply problems, and inadequate healthcare facilities. I question the need for new homes when many existing properties are empty, and I worry that the developments will not accommodate local employment needs. Additionally, the rising crime rates and lack of affordable housing for residents, especially single parents like my daughter, further highlight the urgent need for improved infrastructure before considering more housing.

Yes, but councils should do more to put pressure on developers to make communities rather than just houses, building infrastructure that connects and creates places rather than houses that people drive to and from.

An unfortunate feature of the planning system is that the necessary infrastructure to
accommodate new developments is often delayed or simply never provided. There are
clearly, issues about the adequacy of the transport infrastructure in Warwick District. There
are also questions about water and sewerage capacity and electricity capacity. Similarly,
education, health and other community facilities are not always provided.

Laudable objectives but delivery is what matters. In my experience it will be a first because but nothing I have seen up and down the country gives me any confidence that necessary infrastructure will follow in lock-step with either housing or commercial/employment development. The provision of infrastructure is too fragmented, the funding is always a challenge and developers are masters at reneging on their commitments using smart lawyers which local Authorities cannot afford to match.

Though the approach makes sense, the district has not proven that it will deliver this, other than perhaps token modifications.
To support the whole plan document, infrastructure needs to be reviewed, improvements to existing infrastructure considered to negate the already negative impact of existing developments, and then go hand-in-hand, or precede further developments.

Infrastructure to be in place before development begins. Infrastructure should be guaranteed before outline planning permission is granted. The Parish has little infrastructure and what we have is under extreme pressure from the development we have already had. With out improvements to our infrastructure, further development is not possible. The new plan should be vigorous in achieving infrastructure.

The reliance on the western relief road is ridiculous when there are more sustainable locations for development nearer to existing larger scale infrastructure. This coupled with the concept of a rail / tram line along the Greenway is also a ridiculous and costly idea to support housing when it can go where highways networks are already strong.

The general principles of DPD 5 are appropriate, reasonable and acceptable. The justification is robust and the presence of Wellsbourne Airfield as a Major Investment Site in close proximity to the M40 / A46 Opportunity Area supports the principles of DPD 5.

Investment could relate to new aviation technology, engineering and linkages to the University. Aviation policy statements of relevance to the future of Wellesbourne are appended.

The presence of Wellesbourne Airfield contributes to transport infrastructure. The site is used by businesses as well as for leisure and recreation purposes. Its commercial infrastructure function in this key strategic location will increase over time as aviation innovation is on the cusp of introducing new forms of light aircraft. Demand for fast, efficient means of business transport will increase with growing road congestion and the relative constraints of rail travel (routes/reliability/flexibility).

The infrastructure at Wellesbourne Airfield is a valuable asset now and this value will increase in the lifetime of this Local Plan. Its services are complimentary to the principles of accommodating growth needs which is an overarching principal of the Local Plan, as addressed in further comments below.

The Wellesbourne Airfield infrastructure is privately provided and does not require public investment.

Infrastructure needs more prominence. I’m sick of developers building houses and not providing footpaths or altering junctions to better cope with the increased vehicular traffic caused by said developments. You can see verges worn away to mud by people trying to walk from their new houses to school or the shops because the developers weren’t made to put the necessary infrastructure in place (either before the development finished or even at all). Warwickshire is becoming a rubbish place to live.

These proposals are so minimal that you may as well not bother. The roads are not sufficient for current usage levels; there is no way that "upgrading" them will be sufficient. You're going to need new bypasses, A-roads, and motorway junctions. The works at Warwick Hospital are an attempt to bring it up to a standard required for the current level of use. These works do not account for the future increase in usage which will come with an influx of tens of thousands of new residents. It is, quite simply, inadequate.

There really needs to be more radical approach to local transport needs to even start to support such scales of development. The recent developments in Leamington and Warwick have already led to wholly inappropriate levels of traffic in the area. 'Tick-box' token bike lanes and enhanced roads will not improve the situation, there is simply no joined up thinking to try and integrate public and 'active' transport, a classic example being cycle lanes which are afterthoughts which fit around roads built for traffic.

There needs to be radical approach to make any development non-car centric, this is not evident.

I strongly object, with particular reference to site B1 Hatton.

An additional 8,000-10,000 houses in Hatton would create 15,000-20,000 vehicle trips daily, including cars, buses and delivery vehicles. The Strategic Transport and Education Assessment may not have fully considered impacts on local traffic flows. The analysis appears incomplete - for example it makes no mention of use of the A4177 as an alternative route when problems arise on the M40/M42, which often leads to heavy congestion.

I question the assumptions on active travel and public transport usage. Warwick Parkway is close to existing population centres but bicycle racks are never more than half-full. It would be impossible to adequately upgrade Hatton Station. Upgrades to rail and active travel are unlikely to have material impact on the 20,000 additional trips.

The SWLP Strategic Transport document acknowledges extensive improvements to road infrastructure would be required. Many large and small areas of land would need to be compulsory purchased. There would be years of road closures and restrictions. The proposals would also increase traffic in Warwick. The cost of the improvements/upgrades would likely be more than £500m, not including upgrades to Hatton Station, public transport or active travel. Developers may pay for new infrastructure within their individual sites but it is unlikely to be viable for them to pay for upgrades to existing road infrastructure across the whole site, necessitating direct Government funding. The proposal appears to be high-risk and poor value. It is not viable, not justified, and likely not achievable.

If you look at the use of the park and ride in Stratford this is not fully utilised and more people would travel to Warwick Parkway as it has a more accessible route for visitors and onward travel

Active travel is another white elephant and a waste of money - this has clearly been demonstrated by Birmingham council (now bankrupt by the way) constructing all these cycle routes which has reduced vehicle traffic access and caused disruption and daily congestion causing even worse air quality in these area -

Also existing cycle racks at Leamington station not fully utilised

Opening up of the rail line from Stratford to Long Marston and then to Honeybourne is not financially feasible or deliverable.
The Greenway route is an attractive and well used cycleway and footpath between Stratford and Meon Vale. It is also an important wildlife corridor. The route should be safeguarded and designated a Local Wildlife Site / Corridor and the natural environment improved.
A viable and deliverable route must be found for the construction of a new ring road around Stratford on Avon. This would remove heavy lorries going to Meon Vale from the town centre

A critical component of delivery is the ability for any site to be able to fund infrastructure and demonstrate the scheme is viable. It is submitted that in the case of SG23 the critical mass of development and therefore its delivery and viability would be improved by the additional allocation of land at New Road Henley in Arden. The additional 11.32ha capable of delivering an additional 110 houses would assist the economies of scale in relation to infrastructure and IDP requirements.

Railway travel in the district is operating 'at capacity' (IDP). As such, for any sites requiring rail expansion the expansion should be seen as Critical or Essential (as defined in the IDP, Table 3.2) and occur before development.

The Severn Trent draft water resources management plan (ST 2024) and Drainage and Wastewater Management Plan (2023) are not cited in the plan. The Water Cycle Study referenced was not compiled using the latest housing growth estimates and makes no mention of the SWLP out to 2050. I am concerned the evidence used for water infrastructure is not aligned with expected housing.

The appoach to Infrastrucure is accepted, however no consideration has not been given to Avon Valley Character Area there to protect the Ecology and Enviroment. This covers most of the identified site area. The report on this critical wildlife zone must be considered.
The site is at high elevation compared to the surrounding area therfore hard to retain water by natural or construction methods. Any run off would course flooding in the AVCA and the Alne and Arrow rivers that already flood regualrly cutting of villages could course significant flooding.
Rail infrastructure needed, extended precurement times, very costly.

Yes in terms of the need for appropriate infrastructure, and that infrastructure to be developed in a timely fashion. We note particularly that railway travel in the district is currently operating 'at capacity' (as stated in the IDP). As such, any developments that are justified based on their location near a railway station need to have evidence that the station can provide sufficient additional capacity before decisions on these sites are made. Any such expansion needs to be seen as Critical or Essential (c.f. IDP, Table 3.2) and occur before development.
