The HELAA does not give appropriate consideration to the revised National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) published in December 2024. The Government has published further advice on the role of the Green Belt in the planning system which, should be considered as part of the SWLP Review.
653 was “Sifted Out” in terms of its location. This is at odds re inclusion of Site 510, SA's A1 and A2. Site 510 is located 110m from 653 but scores “green” on ‘location’. A2 is c.200m from 653. Site 60, which scored “green” for ‘location’, is further away from local shopping facilities.

The proposed housing expansion threatens to increase traffic congestion, and disrupt the character of our community. Our village has already seen 164 homes built on the Maudsley site and more on the Linfoot oaks development. At the present time flooding is also a big issue within the village particularly near some of the suggested sites put forward.

Site 712 - land on the east side of Church Lane Barford
Conservation. Over 1/3 of the site lies WITHIN a conservation area (HELAA assessment - 53% of site lies within 25m of a conservation area - this is INCORRECT). Surrounded by listed buildings.
Access issues - single track lane to the site - traffic issues
Environmental issues - protected trees on the site. Wildlife sanctuary area. Significant part of Land was originally an arboretum. Half the site abuts medieval ridge & furrow farmland.
Ecology issues - protected animals inhabit area.
Flooding issues - site is raised and will flood.

I believe that any sites south of Stratford upon Avon are unrealistic due to unsustainable transport links and the lack of a Stratford bypass, most employment opportunities are north of Stratford resulting in gridlock through Stratford at peak times. All of the high schools in Stratford are north of the river which will also add further congestion. I feel the Wilmcote and Bearley site to be a far better option with nearby rail links and North of Stratford. In the 5 year housing supply, Stratford had 24.65 years therefore no further housing required in this area!

The proposed option of Church Lane for access to this site would be a huge cause of concern. This is a major access to the further end of the village, the recreation ground and school, used by villagers and most importantly their children, daily. Currently it's difficult when walking here if one single car needs to enter or depart Church Lane. An added possible 160 cars would be extremely hazardous. I don't see how this Lane could serve this purpose.

We believe that the HELAA should be revised to include an assessment in respect of potential Grey Belt allocations in light of the updated Planning Policy Guidance issued on 27 February. The current HELAA only includes Green Belt designations as part of the assessment criteria and thus does not therefore fully reflect the potential availability of land for housing.

On a more general point, by measuring the Priority Areas using existing Infrastructure (public services such as transport and medical services which are subject to central funding as well as local), this does not take into account any future provision that collectively non-strategic sites would provide through CIL contributions which would then provide new services or improve and extend existing ones. Sites which are partly in any Priority Area should be as a default be included as whole in the Priority Area. This will ensure that perfectly viable sites are not simply dismissed for more than small scale development.

Site reference E1 (Land at Long Marston).
I strongly object on the grounds of impact to local communities, traffic impacts on top of already straining infrastructire, resulting in rat runs through small lanes without sufficient speed control. Inpact to wildlife, additional light and air pollution. To name but a few reasons. No funding to improve rail links. Corporate interests trumping local needs.

The roads around my village can not carry the extra traffic it is already burdened - and what about Stratford??? We will lose a historic 500 year old bridge (clopton) with the additional traffic. And the tourism - which is the life blood of the town???
The proposal will increase carbon emissions. Specifically in and around Stratford.
the proposal also increases the risk to cyclists - the area is invested in providing safe roads for cyclists.

Development of Sites Ref 116, 2, 229 and 116. would lead to a 200% increase in the size of Leek Wootton and this is an unreasonable expansion of a rural community. This is based on a housing density of 30 units/hectare for the size of sites shown. Leek Wootton was a designated growth village in the current plan and has permitted addition housing of up to 83 units yet to be constructed. Additional developments of the proposed size shown will also lead to a further growth and will close the Kenilworth and Warwick corridor with urbanisation

SG04 - Land at Oaks Farm - site reference 140.
- There is no longer a regular bus service in the area. What was the X16 route is now only a school bus. The replacement IndieGo service is very restricted and requires pre-booking. This should not be classified as a regular bus service.
- Despite most of the South of Kenilworth area, including this site, being outside of a sustainable distance to an existing primary school (it is not one of the two areas listed as being so) SG04 is incorrectly rated as a “+” in the associated table.

The evidence influencing the HELLA B results is flawed. An important fact was overlooked in the preparatory work by the consultants. Shipton in its entirety is located in National Landscape Character Area 96 Dunsmore and Feldon. For an area that depends on its landscape and surrounding to support its future economy of tourism, then this is a serious omission.
HELLA B is only a statistical tool to guide decisions. As such due weight has to be afforded to over-arching considerations connected with the location, ambience and opinion of a settlement.
This factor is NOT a desktop exercise.

In selecting sites suitable for development, the plan is almost entirely based on land offered up by land-owners with virtually no strategic analysis of the best areas for the community as a whole. What land-owners and developers consider to be suitable often refers to the cheapest and easiest land to develop, creating the most profit for them, with little regard to community or environment.

Site 540 contains several plots of separate pieces of land bundled together labelled : Harbury South and West. They are not all the same. Any further building development for Harbury MUST respect the approved neighbourhood plan and only be WITHIN the settlement boundary and preserve the rural village characteristics, treasured countryside environment and views, especially from existing houses whose gardens form the settlement boundary, like from Percival Drive on the south, who enjoy open views via 4 bar stock fences with sheep grazing on farmland immediately by the gardens. 570 bits outside the settlement boundary must not be built on.

Site 874 Former Storage Depot Oakdene Crescent - This is not an appropriate site for development. It is greenfield (designation is not brown field) in the green belt. and a valuable wildlife habitat. Development of this site would fundamentally change the nature of the Hatton Station settlement. Local highway infrastructure could not cope with increased traffic. It is not a sustainable location - given the limitations of the rail station car ownership is essential in the area. Objections to a recent planning application for the site are attached giving detailed reasons why this site is not suitable for development.

The HELAA methodology can only be used as a guide. There is a danger, as it does appear to have a lot of data, that it becomes self-fulfilling. There is an equal necessity to embrace factors that are unique to a location and can only be gained by local experience and opinion. In that respect, this Consultation and the local opinion should be should really figure large in any decision.

SupremeTech welcomes the evidence base, specifically the Employment Land Study and the HELAA in relation to Land off Princes Drive, Kenilworth (Site Ref. 54), which confirms that the site represents a logical expansion to the existing Industrial Estate and is suitable for employment uses. However it is unclear why a site that performs well, as per the evidence base, has not been included as part of the Preferred Options.
SupremeTech do have some minor points of disagreement with the assessment and where we feel it should have been scored differently.
