I object to the proposed housing developments on the Land Part Grange Farm, Budbrooke (ID 119). I have significant concerns regarding the impact this development would have, particularly with respect to its location within the Green Belt and the capacity of the local road network and infrastructure, which are already under considerable strain.
Increased Traffic and Safety Risks:
Many local roads are already used as a shortcut by drivers attempting to avoid congestion on the A46/ Birmingham Road or access Warwick Parkway. The addition of new homes will significantly increase through-traffic, exacerbating congestion and creating further safety risks for both residents and road users.
Inadequate Road Capacity:
Many local roads are already used as a shortcut/ rat run by drivers attempting to avoid congestion on the A46 (Particularly area around Stank’s Island/ Longbridge Island and Birmingham Road, which can then lead to traffic backing up on the A46 and the Birmingham Road, making the situation even worse) or access Warwick Parkway or the Birmingham Road at the Shell garage. The addition of new homes in this area will significantly increase on the Birmingham Road, exacerbating congestion and creating further safety risks for both residents and road users

I do not support this proposal:
- there has been no initial consultation on this proposed site
- there are several overlapping proposals for this area -- a 'settlement' up Wasperton Lane, a massive quarry site also up Wasperton Lane (but not even known about or recognised on this plan). They have to be reviewed together.
- traffic impact on Wasperton Lane and Barford village of new developments. Wasperton Lane is already overrun by 'ratrun' traffic from the Gaydon area and is too narrow to cope with any of this.

Primary concern is road safety, based on access and visibility of site access which is currently located in 50mph zone. Speeding is a major issue in this location in the village where 45% have been found to be speeding as part of the Community Speedwatch programme. Volume and mix of traffic of concern - farm, buses, lorries. Also any development anywhere in the village will cause major issues with construction traffic and associated activities, due to the nature of the village and its lack of infrastructure to sustain any development.

Site 65 is at the base of a hump back weight restricted bridge on a road with no pavements. This is a ludicrous site. It is blatantly unsafe.
Site 664 has already lost at appeal. Nothing has change since then in respect of damage to landscape and heritage assets. This site needs to be removed.
Site 182 should not be used for housing but could be used to provide a back access to the school by pulling a road through from Kingshurst which then joined up with the end of School Lane. Car parking could be provided parents

We continue to promote the site at Bedlam’s End, Baddesley Clinton (site ref: 490).
The HELAA assessment of Sites Ref: 490 demonstrates that there are no significant constraints to the development of the land. Site Ref 490 has been attributed a favourable, mid-range, HELAA Part B score. The site is a logical and sustainable location for residential development and provides opportunities for self-build and/or market housing. The site amounts to Grey Belt.
In accordance with the NPPF, it is suggested that the land at Bedlam’s End (site ref: 490) is entirely appropriate for allocation for residential development within the SWLP.

2) The road/pedestrian safety issues with increased traffic and have no pavement. and the back up of traffic on Church Lane
3) Other road users such as utility providers - BT, STWAs, Royal mail, WDC refuse collection will further increase on Church Lane will result in more traffic chaos.

I strongly object to the allocation of Site 492 and Site 827 in the SWLP due to a flawed and inconsistent assessment process. Initially deemed unsuitable in the Stratford SAP, The Site was later reclassified without public consultation or clear justification. Despite no change in site constraints, it has now been given one of the most favourable HELAA scores, raising serious concerns about the credibility of the evidence base. The SWLP must be based on consistent, transparent, and evidence-led decision-making. The Site’s allocation fails this test and should be removed from the Preferred Options.

I object to proposed site RefID 573. Following two recent developments there are regular water outages from burst pipes and faults. Further developments will exacerbate issues with grey water, drains, and flooding. Despite numerous repairs, systems fail due to being pushed beyond limits. They need upgrading before further developments. This covers Hampton Road, Henley Road, Old Budbrooke Road and Woodway.
The site is within Green Belt. The NPPF permits developments only in exceptional circumstances, which doesn't apply here. Several road sections in Hampton-on-the-Hill are single-lane. This causes frequent congestion, delays, and accident risk. The existing rural road network, strained by narrow lanes and heavy parking, was designed for much smaller populations and is ill-suited to accommodate traffic from new development. Local roads are used as rat-runs by drivers attempting to avoid A46 congestion, particularly around Stank’s Island/Longbridge Island and Birmingham Road. This can lead to A46 traffic backing up, worsening the situation. Other drivers shortcut to access Warwick Parkway or Birmingham Road at the Shell garage. New housing would continue to worsen the issues, leading to increased congestion, road rage, and overall reductions in road safety. Road-widening or expansion is unfeasible given the rural location and likely environmental impacts.

I object to housing development on site ID 55. Development in Green Belt is only permitted in exceptional circumstances. Several sections of roads in Hampton-on-the Hill are single lane or have vehicles parked along one side. This causes congestion, delays and increased accident risk. Local roads are used by drivers to avoid the A46 or access Warwick Parkway. The area around Stank's Island is particularly badly-affected and leads to traffic backing up on the A46 down to Longbridge Island. These problems would be worsened by additional traffic from new housing. The local road network of winding and narrow country lanes is already beyond capacity and was designed for a much smaller population. Expansion of roads is not feasible due to the rural nature of the area and likely environmental impacts. Since the latest completed two developments we regularly suffer with water outages, burst pipes, grey water issues, and drains blocking/failing allowing local roads to flood. The present original systems are pushed to their limit and urgently require upgrading PRIOR to any further local developments.

The small industrial unit on the site is currently occupied but the company want to move from the existing premises because there is insufficient room for expansion. Attempts to sell the site as an industrial site have been unsuccessful due to its small size and location.

OBJECTION:
Subject: Objection to Proposed Housing Development at Land and buildings at the Coach House (ID 68)
I am writing to formally object to the proposed housing developments on the Land and buildings at the Coach House (ID 68). While I understand the need for housing, I have significant concerns regarding the impact this development would have, particularly with respect to its location within the Green Belt and the capacity of the local road network and infrastructure, which are already under considerable strain.
Single-Track Roads and Safety Concerns:
Several sections of the roads in Hampton-on-the-Hill are single-lane, particularly in areas where vehicles are parked along one side. This limitation causes frequent congestion, delays, and an increased risk of accidents. With the additional traffic generated by the new housing, these issues will only worsen, leading to further congestion, heightened road rage incidents (which already occur), and an overall decline in road safety.
Increased Traffic and Safety Risks:
Many local roads are already used as a shortcut by drivers attempting to avoid congestion on the A46 or access Warwick Parkway. The addition of new homes will significantly increase through-traffic, exacerbating congestion and creating further safety risks for both residents and road users.
Inadequate Road Capacity:
The local road network, consisting predominantly of narrow, winding county lanes, was originally designed to serve a much smaller population. These roads are already operating beyond their capacity and are not suited to handle the additional volume of traffic that would result from the proposed development. Widening or expanding these roads is not a feasible option due to their rural nature and the likely environmental impact of such modifications.
Many local roads are already used as a shortcut/ rat run by drivers attempting to avoid congestion on the A46 (Particularly area around Stank’s Island, which can then lead to traffic backing up on the A46 down to Longbridge Island, making the situation even worse) or access Warwick Parkway or the Birmingham Road at the Shell garage. The addition of new homes will significantly increase through-traffic, exacerbating congestion and creating further safety risks for both residents and road users
Conclusion: The local road infrastructure in Hampton-on-the-Hill and Hampton Magna is not equipped to handle the scale of development proposed. This, combined with the Green Belt location of the site, makes the development unsuitable for this area. I strongly urge the planning department to consider these issues in detail before proceeding with the application.

OBJECTION:
Land Northwest of M40 Junction 15 Commercial / Industrial Site (ID 44)
Warwick, a historic town in England, is subject to various planning policies aimed at preserving its character and preventing urban sprawl. This plan to develop a large Industrial / Commercial site in the Green Belt on the edge of Warwick and within view of the town, a busy dual carriageway and surrounding villages would appear to conflict with this and would not protect Warwick's historic character and maintain its openness by controlling development and preventing sprawl.
Warwick, a town of significant historical value, is governed by a range of planning policies designed to protect its character. These policies are essential for maintaining the town’s distinctiveness and ensuring that its unique heritage remains safeguarded for future generations.
However, the proposed development on the edge of Warwick is in direct conflict with these protective measures. Such a development would inevitably lead to the erosion of Warwick's historic landscape, blurring the boundaries between the town and surrounding areas. It would compromise the openness of the town, a quality that has long defined its charm and visual integrity.
In addition, the development would disrupt the carefully planned control over sprawl that has been established to protect the town’s setting. By permitting this large-scale g project, we risk undermining the principles that keep Warwick distinct, potentially triggering further urban encroachment. This would not only damage the town’s unique heritage but also diminish its appeal as a historic gem.

This represents inappropriate development of green belt.
It would have a hugely detrimental impact on the village/hamlet.
There is minimal infrastructure (no mains sewerage) to support or justify such a development.
The village is all single track lanes and therefore unlikley to support building-related traffic without substantial degradation to the roads and disruption for residents.
There is no amenity in the village and so subsequent vehicular traffic generated of necessary journeys and its associated negative impact will adversely affect the environment and increase CO2 emissions.
