I have several concerns about Kingswood as a new settlement site and infill site 235. The narrow roads, particularly during peak times, create congestion, while existing services like gas, mobile signal, water supply, sewage, and power are inadequate. The train service is unreliable with few connections, and local amenities, including the doctor’s surgery and schools, are already at capacity. The area’s countryside and wildlife are valuable and should not be compromised. Additionally, the Swallowfield site faces flooding and traffic risks. Overall, I believe Kingswood cannot support new housing developments due to these limitations.

I formally oppose the proposal for SITE 600 to build up to 52 houses on Malthouse Lane. Having lived in Malthouse Lane for four years, I believe this development represents excessive over-development that would harm local wildlife and habitats. It would increase traffic on already struggling roads and negatively impact the green belt and local views. The existing sewage system is under stress, and there are better alternatives for development that should be considered. I wholeheartedly object to these proposals.

I am writing to express my strong opposition to any proposals for building on the fields off Cox Crescent and Green Acres Nursing Home in Long Itchington. The village has already experienced significant changes with recent housing developments, overwhelming local infrastructure. We face regular flooding, inadequate facilities, and increased road accidents due to the growing number of homes. The local school and healthcare services are already at capacity and cannot accommodate more families. I firmly believe that further development does not align with the village plan and should not proceed.

I am emailing to ask that the plans for the development of Kings Hill be reconsidered ideally totally scrapped. !
As a local Finham resident, I don't believe that the plans have given real consideration to the practical implications for local residents who have to live and work in the area.
Therefore I'd like you to reconsider the following.
1) Removal of the proposed bus gate on Green Lane immediately next to the Finham Primary School, due to the increased traffic congestion, increased risk of accidents, and further danger to children, parents, and local residents.
2) Removal of the proposed roundabout at the junction of Green Lane/Howes Lane as it
will encroach too much on what little greenery will be left and doesn't have any consideration for the size of traffic (such as large lorries) that will be expected to go around it.
3) A commitment to preserving our ancient hedgerows along the south end of Green Lane.
4) A commitment to preserving our trees along Green Lane especially those with Tree
Preservation Orders.
5) An implementation of a ‘green’ corridor along Green Lane, particularly around the back of the primary school which will ultimately contribute to the biodiversity requirements of the area.
6) A guarantee to preserving the Anglo-Saxon remains close to the junction of Kings Hill
Lane with Green Lane.
7) Would like assurances for a new children’s play area as close to Finham as
possible, ideally on the site of the proposed bus gate
8) Would like assurances the promised Primary and Senior schools will be built
early in the building phase so as not to further stretch the resources of our
current local schools.
9) Would like assurances the promised clinic will be built during the first phase of
building.
(10) Consideration is given to a commitment for a new Community Centre building.

We strongly object to Strategic Growth Location SG20 and Site REFID 16 the planning application as local residents living next to the proposed site. Our concerns include insufficient infrastructure, noise and pollution from construction traffic, severe drainage issues, and the high visual impact of the fields. Additionally, we are worried about the loss of agricultural land, the proximity to grade 2 listed properties, and the lack of public transport. The area's narrow roads pose hazards, particularly for children, and local health services and schools are already overloaded. We also emphasise the importance of wildlife and environmental conservation.

Objection to Suggested developments in Great Alne
Dismayed to hear about the proposals for further developments within the village. With the Gt Alne Park development effectively doubling the size of the village already and the previous two developments being approved, the village is becoming unrecognisable. Obviously times move on but I believe this latest proposal is excessive and will change the feel of the area we live in.
The roads are already much busier than they once were and Gt Alne is now a rate in for other developed areas this will only increase. The flooding issue has become ridiculous, and the taking up of more ground with base concrete will add to it.

I am writing on behalf of my mother, who lives on Bishop Drive in Long Itchington, to oppose the developments at Cox Crescent and Green Acres Nursing Home (sites 633 & 649, and sites 462, 437, 466 & 478). We acknowledge the need for housing but have serious concerns about flooding. The gardens in the proposed development are already waterlogged, and the current drainage system cannot handle further strain. Additionally, older homes on Marton Road frequently flood, a problem worsened since previous developments. There is also only one exit from the area, contributing to congestion. We strongly urge opposition to these developments.

I am formally objecting to the planning application for housing development on Site Ref 623 in Wellesbourne. My concerns include the safety hazards posed by increased vehicle traffic and access on a narrow public footpath, the overuse of local roads, and the site’s high flood risk due to its location in Flood Zone 3. This area is historically significant and contributes to the rural character of the village, which would be disrupted by development. Additionally, Wellesbourne’s infrastructure is already strained, and this proposal would exacerbate existing issues. I urge reconsideration of this development.

PLANNING OBJECTION SITE 600
We object to the planning application to build up to 52 houses on the field behind the homes on Malthouse lane between the park & the Maltings. Our concerns are an increase in traffic 0n Malthouse lane. Malthouse lane is effectively a cul-de-sac because a lot of people won’t use the Causeway therefore the traffic comes down Malthouse lane & then back up. With this development being approximately 50 houses with an average of 2 cars per household that would equate to a lot more traffic.
Earlswood lakes is a beauty spot and wildlife would be seriously affected.
Other concerns are:-
Lack of schools in the area
Lack of GP Practices
Loss of vegetation & trees
Lack of parking for visitors and Fishermen to Earlswood Lakes

I have concerns regarding the proposed development, which contradicts the stated local planning criteria which should prioritise repurposing existing buildings rather than green-field development. The aesthetics of the rural area will be negatively impacted, especially along Evesham Road, contradicting previous design statements. Additionally, there is a risk of increased flooding for vulnerable residents on Luddington Road, and this development could lead to the encroachment of Luddington Village and loss of agricultural land. Furthermore, the process feels undemocratic, as local input seems disregarded by higher authorities.

I am writing on behalf of my mother, to oppose the proposed housing development at Warwickshire Golf Club (Ref ID 2 & 229). It is concerning that green belt land, which should be protected, is being considered for development, threatening local wildlife and biodiversity. This project would also worsen existing infrastructure issues, increasing strain on schools and medical facilities, as well as causing more traffic congestion and pollution. Furthermore, the development risks flooding in the area. My mother moved to this area seeking peace, seclusion, and green space. She would not have moved if she knew the property would be devalued and her privacy encroached on. I urge the council to explore alternative options that would be less damaging to the environment and community.

I object to the proposed development at Lapworth, site ref ID 235. I believe it threatens our rural community and green belt countryside when there are brownfield sites available nearby. Lapworth has heritage properties and attracts tourists, but its narrow lanes and limited pavements cannot support increased traffic from the Swallowfield development. This site is far from essential amenities, which are already strained. Additionally, the local drainage system is inadequate, and the area is prone to flooding. I urge consideration of alternative options that better utilise existing infrastructure.

I have reviewed the SWLP and have significant concerns regarding site ref. ID 184 in Wasperton village. This conservation area is vital for local biodiversity and heritage, and its development would destroy animal habitats and undermine the village's rural character. The site lies outside the Infill Village Boundary and its proposed development contravenes local policies. Additionally, the increase in housing would significantly strain the village's infrastructure and adversely affect residents' privacy and light. Therefore, I strongly object to the inclusion and development of site ref. 184 in the local plan.

Ref The HELAA Assessments and "Infill" on all proposed sites in Station Lane, Lapworth:
The number of dwellings proposed are far too many without any further infrastructure available. This includes the full capacity doctors surgery, primary school, road safety and several entrances/exists to proposed and existing developments coming onto Station Lane very close together and creating road hazards, especially near to Lapworth school. It is an overwhelming and over development of land which often floods, if they are all allowed to proceed.
What type of houses will they be? Will there be million pound plus properties or actually affordable for local young residents?

I am formally objecting to the proposed development at Hockley Heath (site references 31 and 278), due to concerns about its impact on green belt land, local infrastructure, and community health services. The existing infrastructure is already strained, and additional housing would exacerbate congestion and healthcare pressures. The development poses risks of increased flooding, traffic congestion, and road safety issues. Over 3000 dwellings would be added by SG24, C1, and the 18 infill sites 30, 31, 53, 88, 161, 205, 235, 513, 514, 615, 649 and 751 which is not in keeping with the character of the surrounding areas.

I own the site at The Green Snitterfielde, which has significant potential and is included in the Preferred Options for the SWLP. Snitterfield is an inspiring village with essential amenities and a vibrant community. Its location provides easy access to the A46, Stratford-upon-Avon, and the M40, making it desirable, especially with highly regarded schools nearby. The proposed site is central to the village and allows for sensitive development without fundamental expansion. I hope my views will be seriously considered.

I object to the proposed development at Ref 633 and Reg 469, as it would significantly impact the Lilac Fields estate. Residents were assured that the adjacent field would remain undeveloped. Allowing this proposal would cause disruption from construction vehicles and pose safety risks on our narrow roads. The existing attenuation ponds cannot handle additional runoff from a new housing estate and would harm local wildlife habitats. I advocate for using brownfield sites instead and propose the land be managed by the Warwickshire Wildlife Trust to preserve its ecological value. My family and I strongly oppose the proposed development.

The location is prone to flooding, exacerbating risks for nearby properties and undermining flood defences. Access is inadequate for the expected increase in traffic, posing safety hazards, especially for pedestrians.

We support the identification of Bidford East (part of HELAA site 562) as part of Strategic Growth Location SG20, which has an estimated housing capacity of 5,361 dwellings. While it ranks poorly in the Sustainability Assessment regarding the loss of Grade 2 agricultural land and the site's ranking for natural resources, we believe that the development will not significantly impact mineral resources. The proposed indicative area for industrial development is previously developed land and will not result in loss of agricultural land. Despite being among the worst for education access, the proximity of primary and secondary schools within reasonable walking distance mitigates this concern. Additionally, bus connections to Alcester enhance sustainability, aligning with the Council's objectives.

Firstly, it threatens the Green Belt's purpose in preventing urban sprawl and preserving the countryside. Secondly, it would strain local infrastructure, as roads, schools, and healthcare cannot cope with the increased population. Furthermore, it endangers local biodiversity and habitats, especially near the Canal Conservation Area. Additionally, the feasibility of the project is questionable without clear infrastructure plans.

We believe the entire site should receive a higher score for its location within Priority Area 3 and a lower score for its weak contribution to the Green Belt.

We are providing comments on the HELAA results for site reference 736. The site scores poorly in flood risk due to 16% being in Flood Zone 2 or 3. Land within close proximity to Thelsford Brook should be removed from the Growth Option. Appendix 3 shows that all development can be located outside of areas at risk of flooding. Although the site has moderate visual sensitivity, it is not in a protected landscape area, and localised visibility can be managed. Connectivity to Wellesbourne is good, and employment development near the University of Warwick is feasible. 22% of the site is within Grade 1 or 2 Agricultural Land but the majority is Grade 3. The vast majority of the SWLP area is within Grades 1, 2 or 3, so the SWLP will likely need to release some 'best and most versatile' land.
