The canal close to C1 is already a conservation area - nature is flourishing including otters - we do not want waterway development that destroys the important nature corridor we already have.

The canal tow path being used as a cycle track in the BW settlement is a recipe for disaster. To widen the tow path would mean The removal of hedges which provide shelter and food for birds. The path would have to be bonded and lighting would have to be installed. From a safety point of view railings should be built but this would impinge on accessibility for boaters mooring. Safe access to the canal and its tow path make a significant contribution to the physical and mental health and well being of the residents of Wilmcote.

Draft Policy Direction 28’s aim to promote the use and accessibility of waterways in South Warwickshire is supported. The policy appropriately recognises the ecological benefits of waterways and seeks to protect them from harmful development while encouraging regeneration.
Further clarity is needed on what constitutes an “adverse impact” on the integrity of the waterways structure, water quality, landscape, heritage and ecological quality and character. Clear definitions or criteria would ensure greater consistency in decision-making and provide developers with a better understanding of policy requirements.

The proposed plan to use the towpath between Canada Bridge and Stratford as a cycle track for residents of the proposed BW settlement would restrict the canal's towpath accessibility by pedestrians and the canal would not be as attractive to boaters wishing to moor up in tranquility. The canal and it's towpath make a significant contribution to leisure and to the mental health of residents of Wilmcote. There would, of course, also be a high risk of accidents on the towpath and the proposed venture would be both challenging and costly.

The policy promotes the use of waterways for active travel while prioritising ecological benefits, aligning with the Warwickshire Waterways Strategy’s emphasis on accessibility, community engagement, and environmental resilience. Given the potential for canal enhancements at new settlement C1, the policy should be positively worded to encourage improvements that support active travel without imposing onerous financial obligations on development.

The Grand Union Canal bisects ‘Hatton Villages’, which offers an incredible opportunity to support improved access and an enhanced sense of place along the Canal. Hill Residential has undertaken early engagement with the Canal & River Trust (‘CRT’) who agree that appropriate and sensitive canalside development should be strongly encouraged and supported.
Working closely with CRT, ‘Hatton Villages’ will provide a Canalside Park with better access and upgrades to the towpath making it a more accessible and attractive active travel route for year-round utility and commuting cycling trips.
