Grove Lane land adjacent to Field House ref 193. I strongly object to this land being ring fenced for future development. Ashow is a conservation area & more housing would be detrimental to the landscape and overall environment. Particularly as this land is elevated. It would heavily impact the street scene.

Site 518 is a HELAA B site located to the west of the village of Wootton Wawen. The site is Grey Belt. The allocation of Site 518 for leisure/ community is supported.
The current consultation does not carry sufficient certainty for the plan to move forward to Regulation 19 stage without a further chance to comment. There are too many options set out in the consultation.
It seems unlikely that plenty more sites will come forward in a further Call for Sites and sites that are already being promoted and available should be allocated.

Ymatebydd: The Ragley Estate
Asiant : Stansgate Planning
The Estate supports inclusion of SG21, specifically site 640.
The score for minerals safeguarding should be zero. Historic seismic testing on various parts of the Estate has not suggested minerals of any significant value. As recognised in HELAA B this is a theoretical rather than actual constraint.
The site should receive zero points for having been assessed under the Employment Land Study. Assessment for another purpose does not make the site unsuitable for residential or mixed-use development.
The site should receive zero points for ground-mounted solar power. The Council has not approached the Estate about this use. The Estate has 5,640 acres of land. If future technical evidence confirmed need in this area the Estate would be willing to explore delivery elsewhere.
The Flood Zone and surface water flooding scores should be zero. The scheme can be designed to use land in flood zone 2/3 or subject to surface water flooding for amenity and open space. As such, a sequential test is not required (NPPF Paragraph 175). Trees and hedgerow planting will help manage water on the site. Ecosystems could be preserved and enhanced, with potential to connect together existing green spaces. These benefits should be recognized. The weighting of surface water flooding is excessive and it produces a skewed result for the remaining 76% of the site.
The presence of a small number of listed buildings within or close to a site is not an obstacle to allocation or development. The 500m buffers do not take account of topography and other site-specific circumstances. Given the heritage of South Warwickshire most sites will have potential to impact the setting of listed buildings. The Estate has experience in managing, preserving and enhancing heritage assets. They will not promote proposals that harm these assets. The same applies to the Conservation Area, Registered Parks and Gardens and Scheduled Monuments. The site has been incorrectly given a constraint score for Registered Parks and Gardens despite 0% of the site intersecting with an RPG or 25m buffer.
The score for Location should be zero as the northern part of the site is within 50m of the existing settlement boundary. The southern part of the site is a little further from the existing boundary but has direct connections across the A345.
The presence of a Local Wildlife Site within 25m of 9% of the site is not an obstacle to allocation or development. A Preliminary Ecological Appraisal is being undertaken to inform the Illustrative Masterplan. The weighted score and “amber” designation should be re-considered when this is submitted. The score should also be zero for Potential Local Wildlife Sites as 0% of the site is within 25m of a pLWS. The current score appears to be a mistake. The weighted score and amber designation for Baseline Habitat value should also be reconsidered when the Preliminary Ecological Appraisal is submitted.
All land within the site is Grade 3 agricultural land. The score should be zero. A land classification report will be submitted later to confirm this.

Richborough have made a minor amendment to the boundary to include additional land and this has been submitted through the call for sites portal.
The HELAA notes that site constraints and associated additional development costs may potentially be mitigated to make development viable. It is assumed this assessment has been made in relation to the areas of the site that are within Flood Zone 2 and 3. However, new homes are only proposed within Flood Zone 1.

I strongly object to the proposal REFID 16 Land at Ardens Grafton and Temple Grafton. The absence of a train station in in the area and one bus a week highlights a lack of sustainable travel options in this village. The A46 has frequent congestion and lacks planned expansion to handle increased traffic from housing developments. Recent significant housing development in Bidford has already exacerbated traffic, turning the narrow rural roads in the village into a rat run. These fields are often waterlogged and are prone to flooding, a parliament of owls feed on the numerous wildlife in these fields.

Daventry Road, Southam (RefID 135) is one of the most suitable and sustainable locations for growth. It is the second best-performing site in the HELAA B Assessment. It performs well compared to the new settlement locations. It scores 34.38. The second-ranked new settlement option B1 scores 56.37.
The score for RefID 135 is lower with mitigation and a masterplan responding to the constraints. We have submitted a Vision Document which incorporates the mitigation outlined below. In some areas the methodology of the HELAA can also be improved. These revisions give a more accurate score (13.80).
Spatial Growth Areas - score should be 0. Rather than GIS-based scoring, a judgement should be made on how well sites relate to the settlement. The proposed development would provide new community services and facilities as part of expansion.
Minerals Safeguarding Area - score should be 0. There is little prospect of mineral extraction at the site given proximity to the existing settlement. Most of the SWLP area is covered so this designation is not notable.
Employment Land Study - score should be 0. It seems unreasonable to negatively score all sites which could be reasonably sustainable for employment development. They may also be suitable for residential and mixed-use development.
Ground Mounted Solar - score should be 0. Only a small portion of the site falls within land 'most-suitable'. Due to settlement-adjacency it could not form part of a larger, commercially viable solar development. The development would not preclude solar provision in future.
Flood Zones 2 & 3 - score should be 0. No development would be proposed in the flood zone. The watercourse would be unaffected and is beneficial rather than a constraint as a sustainable means of discharging surface water from the outfall of the SuDS incorporated into the development.
Surface Water Flooding - score should be 0. Development would change the landform and integrate a sustainable drainage strategy.
Listed Buildings - score should be 0. There are opportunities for mitigation which would eliminate the impacts on a single Grade II listed building 200m from the boundary of the site.
Connectivity - score should be 1.8. A transport technical note has been submitted outlining opportunities to create good connections between the site and key destinations in Southam. The site should be scored as 'B' post-mitigation.
Accessibility to local services - score should be 0. Given the size of the site it would incorporate as a minimum a local centre, neighbourhood hub, primary school, café, recreation and leisure provision. The site also benefits from proximity to existing services and facilities in Southam.
The remaining negative scores relate to only three factors - the fact that it is greenfield land, a change in landscape character which is inevitable for a greenfield development, albeit not in a landscape which is particularly sensitive to change, and the connectivity score for the site. It is therefore irrational that the site is not identified as part of the Southam SGL given its very positive assessment.

Site 518 is a partly developed site which would be classed as Grey Belt, with buildings and fishing lakes present. It has been attributed a favourable lower HELAA Part B score, which is encouraging for its allocation for leisure and community uses. The site has no constraints.
The site would support the development of guest accommodation and tourism in South Warwickshire, acknowledging the long-term economic benefits this would bring to the area. The site is well-located for such uses. The site is immediately available for development.

Sites 148 and 747 - both of these sites have failed SWLP HELAA for flood plain reasons and 148 is an area of restraint. Building on these puts existing homes at higher risk of flood (ref SWLP report) & cause traffic chaos around 2 historic single file bridges and single file roads, particularly during building period. Housing should be up near Fosse Way for access reasons BUT is short of school spaces, GP spaces & has woeful transport and NO jobs, and likely no beds at hospital. The town is also in the buffer zone of Cotswolds AONB.

The HELLAA methodology is fundamentally flawed. It has been deliberately designed to give statutory Green Belt a low weighting (6%), with productive agricultural land seemingly even less important. In the red/amber/green scoring system, NOT ONE piece of Green Belt land has been rated 'red'. This demonstrates a deliberately inbuilt bias into the analysis to degrade the Green Belt, claim sites are 'sustainable' when they are clearly not and decided that because one site is more 'sustainable' than another, that this counts as exceptional circumstances. This is a complete perversion of the NPPF guidelines for establishing exceptional circumstances.

The areas identified in blue around Tysoe are in the main inconsistent with the Tysoe Neighbourhood Plan which is made. In particular the Herbert's Farmyard and the land NE of Herbert's Farm, the land to rear of Meadow Lane and Lower Tysoe (West, east & north) seem to be Warwickshire CC land. Those farms are key to the character of the village and much of that farmland is traditional livestock meadows for centuries and home to red list breeding birds such as Curlew and other endangered ground nesting birds. Housing must be built nearer to areas of employment.

With regard to site E1, despite suggested options there will be a massive increase in traffic heading north on existing infrastructure, mainly to Stratford, from South of the Avon. There are obvious knock on effects on noise, light and air pollution, traffic delays, congestion - and overall bad for local wildlife and residents. It seems obvious (again), that with most traffic heading north (to Birmingham, Coventry, Warwick, Leamington and beyond) that further development needs to be north of the Avon/Stratford, with access to the motorway network eg M40 and M42, thus minimizing environmental impact.

Poor access to main roads – No direct route to A3400 without using unsuitable local roads that include several bridge bottlenecks – Honington bridge is a listed historic monumnet, Barcheston bridge is unsuitable, both are narrow, and
weight-restricted, making them unsafe for large-scale traffic increases.
HELA assesments confirms both sites are in a flood-prone area, development will lead to additional surface water flooding and worsen existing problems.

SG09, X1, risk undermining established planning principles protecting Bishop’s Tachbrook distinctidentity and is now underthreat of becoming a sprawling suburb ofLeamington, lacking character/cohesion. 2017 WarwickDistrict Local Plan, and Bishop’s Tachbrook Neighbourhood Development Plan (2021), prioritised preventing coalescence, recognising its importance in maintaining separate communities. A planning inspector previously highlighted this issue, leading to the designation of Tachbrook Country Park as a protective buffer. SWLP’s growth strategy contradicts these principles, directing disproportionate development to Priority Area 3, increasing the risk of urban sprawl loss of open space. This approach is inconsistent with NPPF policies on sustainable development, settlement identity, strategic planning

Objections For Sites 148 and 747:
Flood risk - the proposed sites are highly prone to flooding per HELAA assessment where additional housing development will creating additional run-off as already seen in other areas of Shipston.
The traffic impact will be very significant and will lead to increased congestion on unsuitable local roads & historic bridges, in particular Fell Mill Lane which is narrow and unsuitable. There are very few local employment opportunities and development leads to residents commuting long distances, environmentally impactful. The local infrastructure is dire - schools are full, existing GP service inadequate.

Refid233. This land holds the remaining evidence of the old village of Budebruc with a fish pond associated with it. This is greenbelt and should not be used. The road infrastructure and railway bridges can’t support increase of traffic. Warwick hospital can’t take anymore expansion in parking, building or patients. Not enough local schools or surgeries. Noise,air and light pollution in rural setting will be detrimental. Wildlife and ecology destroyed. Water table adversely affected and waterways potentially polluted.
