I wish only to comment on the proposals for Leek Wootton parish, also on behalf of my parents who I live with. We do not agree with any use of green belt in this parish; this is land that should stay free of development to safeguard the character of the village, protect nature, and prevent increased congestion. In particular we object to development on the field by Black Spinney and The Warwickshire since these HELAA sites are next to public footpaths used by villagers for recreation. The development of the Police Headquarters will sufficiently increase the size of the village.

All of these should be considered as protected under Policy Direction 45. The slopes of Hanson Hill make an important contribution to the character of Shipston on Stour and as such should be considered an area of restraint. The existing development up the Campden Road has already caused harm to the open nature of these identified areas. This could be balanced by improving the character and visual amenity of these sites as areas of public access, nature conservation and food production exactly as laid out in the policy. This was put forward as content for the original Neighbourhood Plan but was unfortunately rejected. It should certainly be included in the next update to provide a country park/rain garden with surface water runoff collection and enabling walking for leisure and recreation while providing continued agricultural and horticultural use with public education.

All the ‘Higher Land’ Sites to the West of the town contribute to the Surface Water runoff issues that are continuing to plague the existing sites on Campden Road. This was most obvious in the flooding incidents at Clifford Place requiring considerable drainage work by Taylor Wimpey to alleviate the problem. The downhill flows from these sites continue to cause both on site erosion and flooding problems as well as contributing to sewage eruptions and fluvial flooding in the lower parts of the town.
The combined effect of Policy Directions 45, 46, 47 and 48 should rule out the ‘Higher Land’ development sites to the West of the Town and the Riverside sites to the East.

The site at Camperdown farm, Cherington, directly borders the AONB. The site, even theoretically, containing over 800dwellings shows a worrying lack of common sense. Cherington has c.214 residents, with no infrastructure in the village to support ANY news home let alone 814. There are no schools, shops, public transport in Cherington. The road through Cherington is a single lane meaning 800+extra cars daily going through a single lane in a village in an AONB. I understand Camperdown farm is owned by WarwickshireCouncil and is easier to force through planning but this site misses the fundamental goals of the local plan.

I object to site X1. 6,000 new properties will effectively be the end of Barford as a "village". As a once rural community it will be dwarfed by this new development in a beautiful rural setting. We need villages to thrive. It simply cannot cope with traffic now let alone this volume of properties in Hareway Lane. Our village will be joined up with Leamington and Warwick and be an extended corridor from the M40. Village life here is worse in 10 years because the dynamics have changed since the additional 200 houses let alone 6,000 just 1 mile away

I believe that the transport options seem progressive, but they are way over-optimistic. They would be insufficient to prevent a huge impact on traffic through Clifford Chambers, into and through Stratford. Congestion will grow to impact the quality of life in these areas even more seriously, including delays, unpredictability, noise and pollution, contravening the CC Neighbourhood Plan. Cycling for example is a great solution for fine sunny days, that I love, but will be rejected on dark, cold and/or wet days in favour of cars. The Greenway would risk changing from a leisure facility into a trunk road for cyclists.

There is inadequate infrastructure in Alcester already to carry increased numbers of cars, poor bus routes, and no train station. Schools at primary and secondary level are full and there is no college facilities, doctors and dentists have no capacity and the distance to these from the proposed sites make increased car use inevitable.

Analysis identifies Baginton as a dispersed settlement that has limited access to facilities and services. Recently started and granted permissions already significantly increase existing housing numbers beyond those in local and neighbourhood adopted plans. Substantial infrastructure improvements are essential before further sites are considered (REFID 131,194,127,94). Along with green belt & flooding restrictions the positions and number of proposed sites around Baginton cause great difficulty in providing adequate facilities.
