Reference 603 Land near Black Spinney. I object to any development on this site as it is Green Belt land on the edge of the village of Leek Wootton and is adjacent to ancient woodland. How could we even consider this as an option? This village will not be a village if we push out the boundary, especially combined with the suggested "strategic growth location" to the south of Kenilworth. Isn't it the role of the council and the role of green belt to ensure towns and villages don't encroach on one another?

Reference 2: The Warwickshire Golf Club land. I object to any development on this land. It is Green Belt land on the edge of the village. I think it may also be on the edge of or in a conservation area. This is a prominent site on a hill and would fundamentally alter the conservation area. There has recently been development on adjacent land within the Warwickshire with 5 houses crammed in to a small parcel of land.

Ref 116 land to the north and south of Hill Wootton Road. I object to any development on this land as it is Green Belt on the edge of the village. Green belt is there to protect the expansion and encroachment of villages and towns. This is a huge site and would more than double the size of the village. Are you trying to just merge Warwick and Leek Wootton? Green Belt is there for a reason. We should be protecting it not building on it.

The developments proposed in and around Ardens Grafton and Temple Grafton will have an irreparable impact on the rural village communities.
The sites are proposing to double the size of Ardens Grafton, a village with no local amenities including very limited public transport.
School in TG is already at capacity.
No local secondary school within 2km walking distance.
Roads are narrow, cannot cope with additional traffic.

HELAA metrics indicate that SG06 should not be allocated for development. Much of the area was discounted at Stage A, leaving just two parcels in Stage B:
SG06 (west) scored 52 out of 82 (max), putting it well into the top half of ‘least suitable’ for development.
SG06 (east) scored 69 putting it in the top quarter.
SG06 is quality agricultural land. The development density between Coventry and North Leamington presented by SG01, 02, 03, 04, 06 risks joining these two historic settlements using Kenilworth as a bridge. This is precisely what the West Midlands Green Belt seeks to prevent.

The identification of Site 40, Land off Edgehill View, Kineton Road, Gaydon, is strongly supported. The site is highly sustainable and well connected, entirely suitable to meet future development needs.
Some of the scoring in the HELAA is inaccurate and if properly assessed the HELAA score will lower, confirming the suitability of the site to meet future development needs. We have supplied further documentation on the HELAA scoring.

Land at Banbury Road, Gaydon (Site ID 711) was considered and assessed through both Part A and Part B of the HELAA. The constraint score afforded to it was 34.00 and therefore the site remains in consideration for the SWLP and forms part of the proposed Strategic Growth Location SG13.

By over-focussing on Green Belt, where infrastructure is lacking and expensive to provide, Option 4 does not make sufficient provision for housing growth in and around Royal Leamington Spa, the main town in the district and where a significant proportion of key services and facilities, including employment opportunities, are located. It therefore does not seek to fully optimise the potential to promote sustainable travel patterns through a spatial synergy between access to service and facilities, jobs and housing.

Site REFID 620- This site is known to flood. Potential access route has suffered multiple car accidents recently. The capacity at the village school is full and is already underperforming. The local high school is at capacity having to turn away students who live locally. Plots within the local Alcester employment area were for sale over 5 years and will take another 5 years to become economically productive. Appointments for the medical centre are difficult to access. The site is within Green Belt and other local potential sites are not. Development here would cause most disruption to traffic and environment.

I am strongly opposed to the site being proposed as a preferred location for development for the South
Warwickshire Local Plan.
The HELAA Part A and B assessments for this site should to be reviewed.
My concern is that development in this location would conflict with planning policies made in the Tanworth in
Arden Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP), 12th December 2022, 2021 – 2031.
The site should not be in the Local Plan. My reasons are below.
HELAA Part A assessment:
Ownership:
• The owner of the Land, does not own sufficient land to provide a safe entry and exit to and from the
site.
Viability and Deliverability:
• Access is very restricted and there is no other alternative access, the ranking should be Red and not be included in Part B assessment.
• The site is located on land at the rear of properties on Malthouse Lane and The Maltings, down to the
boundary with Terrys Pool. Introducing a housing development down the slope into the area separating the lakes from distant existing development in this protected view would be detrimental to the sense of tranquillity characterising the area and the lakes.
• The proposed site, is in conflict with Tanworth in Arden NDP Policy H3.
• Development of the site conflicts with Policy NE1 of the NDP
Traffic Issues
• Additional traffic volumes will be generated putting further pressure on infrastructure, for example
Malthouse Lane is not gritted in Winter
• Access to Malthouse Lane is via a singletrack road across the causeway via Earlswood Lakes, not
suitable for increased volumes of traffic (there are regularly altercations and issues on the causeway)
• Small lane is a narrow road with passing places
• Springbrook Lane is a country lane that cannot sustain increased volumes of traffic
• Development would be out of character with Malthouse Lane (a ribbon development)
• The area is used for recreation, (i.e. walkers, joggers, cyclists, fishermen, horse riding), all use
Malthouse Lane. More traffic due to further development would put the participants in danger.
Erosion of the Natural Environment
• Earlswood is a Linear development consists of tightly packed houses arranged in a series of narrow
and deep plots lying perpendicular in coherent lines running parallel to the roadside. The
development of this land would be out of character with the rest of the area
• The proposed site sits in an area designated as green belt
• The Green belt is important to the local community of being in or near open countryside
Waste Disposal Capacity
• There are already problems with waste water disposal capacity. The system is overloaded to the point
that Sewage tankers regularly have to draw out sewage from the Severn Trent treatment station. The
system is overloaded and local residents complain about the build-up of noxious smells.
Transport Links
• Public Transport links are poor in Earlswood, this development would encourage further use of
Private Motor vehicles, thus putting addition pressure on the inadequate roads that serve the area.
• There is very poor bus service (once or twice a day)
• Train Service (1 train per hour) connects Earlswood to either Stratford or Birmingham. No sign of that
increasing.

In area SG18, West of Stratford upon Avon some areas of strategic development could be brought forward, some parts are already developed. However thought must be given to limiting development to follow specific elevation contours at the foot of the hills surrounding the town to preserve connection to the hills. Developed areas should not be cut off from pedestrian and cycle access to the rest of the town.
Development should be phased across the period of the local plan and community infrastructure should occur in parallel with development including schools, doctors and dentists, roads, other transport connection, comunity halls, shops

I object to the proposed housing development due to its significant impact on local infrastructure and the Green Belt. The rural road network, already under strain, cannot support increased traffic, risking safety and exacerbating congestion, particularly in Hampton-on-the-Hill. Any attempt to widen roads would disrupt the village’s character and environment. Additionally, this development conflicts with Green Belt policies, as it threatens the area’s openness and sets a dangerous precedent for further encroachment. Local services are already at capacity, and further development would overwhelm them. I urge the planning department to reject this application based on these concerns.

The site known as 'Land West of Radford Semele' (Site Reference 700) is subject to Policy RS12 of the Radford Semele Neighbourhood Plan (RSNP). Policy RS12 was adopted to ensure that Radford Semele remains a distinct and separate settlement to Royal Leamington Spa, Sydenham and Whitnash. As such, we are of the opinion that the site is inappropriate as a new settlement location. Given its strategic location to the south of Radford Semele, we believe Valley Farm would be a more sustainable settlement location.
