I believe that the current housing developments sprouting up all around Kenilworth, together with the planned development of two ex-school sites and others lined up are more than enough for our town. These developments are already straining local facilities like surgeries, schools, car parks. New households will inevitably create more traffic in and around the town, as they will not be self-sufficient in terms of entertainment places, shops, cafes, pubs etc. Even with the current developments there is a lack of connecting infrastructure - cycleways, footpaths, forcing more people into cars to access the town. Enough is enough.

This area is partly green belt but also includes brown/grey land. Largely Warwick University partly blighted by HS2. It has benefits of proximity to employment with A46/A45 connectivity and shopping and health infastructure would make it sustainable. Good connectivty to Coventry.
The southernmost part of the site (SW) should remain green belt to sustain biodiversity gap between Coventry and Kenilworth

This area needs to be kept as green belt as a border between Kenilworth and Coventry. I feel its important for both Kenilworth and Coventry to have a boundary with access to Green Belt areas for mental Well being.

Mix of green belt and non green belt land. Arguably the development of hs2 has already impacted significantly on green belt therefore impact of further building would be less.
Provides large residential potential between Coventry and Kenilworth so reliance of infrastructure could be spread between the two areas.
Local employment opportunities via Warwick University and Coventry
Already established bus routes that serve university with train stations nearby with access to London and Birmingham
Provides more than 3.6 times the capacity of Sg04

Too many developments a) without sufficient infrastructure b) so much so the schemes will potentially be within touching distance and thereby transforming a collection of semi-rural and small town areas into a large metropolis. That's more change than the areas can or should be enduring.

Green belt is essential here to prevent further urban sprawl to the south of Kenilworth and preserve the integrity of the village of Leek Wootton. Lack of infrastructure is also a problem and would cause increased congestion on Warwick Road.

My views align with local Parish and Town Council objections to the SG01 proposal, which threatens community identity by removing Green Belt land between Coventry, Burton Green, and Kenilworth. A Parish Council survey found over 90% of residents value this protection.
Over 650 people have signed a petition to reinstate the Safeguarded Land to Green Belt, as Coventry’s reduced housing needs mean the land is unnecessary for development.
Key arguments include the loss of vital Green Belt functions, high-quality agricultural land, the impact on nature, lack of infrastructure, and evidence showing SG01 is unsuitability for development compared to other options.

I do not agree because it’s vital to protect this valuable stretch of land between Coventry and Kenilworth. The area holds natural beauty, supports diverse wildlife, and provides essential green space for the community. Removing it from the Green Belt was a mistake and the pressure on local infrastructure — from traffic to schools and healthcare — is already too high. Reinstating this land into the Green Belt will preserve our countryside, and maintain the character and wellbeing of Burton Green and surrounding areas.

I object to SG01 for the following reasons:
- Green belt land - beautiful countryside, agricultural land and a very important local amenity for the well-being of Coventry, Burton Green and Kenilworth residents
- Create urban sprawl with virtually no distinction between Coventry and Kenilworth
- Create intolerable local road congestion and pollution - public transport infrastructure inadequate, car parks at local train stations at saturation point
- Insufficient capacity in local services (inc. schools, GPs, dentists, commercial facilities) to accommodate increase in housing.
- Detrimental effect on nature reserve and ancient woodland - loss of character of the area

SG01 SG02 And SG03 should combine to be a new settlement as there is potential for jobs and link to motorway and train stations, but need the additional infrastructure to go with this eg schools, doctors etc. Use of other 'infill' areas is just fudging the issue and detrimental to roads and facilities already at breaking point and beyond capacity - eg poor Clopton Bridge.

Kenilworth has already allocated significant areas for new housing development ongoing.
Kenilworth is a historic town defined by a green border between all neighbouring towns, this should be maintained as green belt.
Warwick university and developers are the driving force behind SG01 development. This is a predatory move.
The university has a huge spacious campus, which could easily contain any development they claim necessary, without encroaching on what is left of the green belt between campus and Kenilworth.

Whilst SupremeTech does not have a view on the specific Strategic Growth Location options put forward as part of the consultation, SupremeTech considers that, if SG01 is to be brought forward as a strategic growth location, Land off Princes Drive, Kenilworth should be included as part of SG01 moving forwards to complement the offer and mix of uses which could be proposed as part of this growth option. Land off Princes Drive, Kenilworth could deliver much needed SME units to serve the local employment market.

Ymatebydd: Burton Green Parish Council
Burton Green Parish Council strongly opposes SG01. The assessment clearly shows that this is an unsustainable option.
Specifically:
•SG01 clearly meets the criteria for Green Belt designation
•Insufficient weighting (6%) is given to Green Belt weighting
•SG01 consists largely of ALC2 which should be retained under advice in the NPPF.
•SG01 is not a sustainable location for 4800 new homes e.g. Sustainability report and previous assessments.
•BGPC urges the reinstatement of Safeguarded Land into the Green Belt, backed by a petition with 675 signatures.
•SG01 performs less well on assessment than most other proposed development zones(ref HELAA-B)
