CONCERNS/POTENTIAL OBJECTION:
employment development of large scale/mass in this area, located between two sections of Stoneleigh Abbey GII* Registered Park and Garden (RPG), which is included on the Heritage at Risk Register (HAR), would potentially cause substantial harm. Also, possible impacts on setting of Stoneleigh Abbey GI LB situated within the RPG, on many GII LBs & on Stoneleigh Conservation Area (CA), containing many LBs to north. Less concerned regarding northern parcels of SGL, between A46 & B4115.

Residential properties off Grove Lane:

(a) Congestion: It appears that the development would allow for 10 or more houses. I oppose this suggestion since it would increase size of the village by at least 10% - 20%. Access from the B4115 and through the narrow village road to and then on Grove Lane is already at capacity. Grove Lane itself does not permit traffic to pass abreast in any event. The increasing reliance on home deliveries (of consumer goods and groceries) causes difficulty to movements for existing households, and an increase in traffic by the stated percentage together with peripheral movements to service the enlargement of the village would be intolerable.

(b) Infrastructure: Ashow is not on mains drainage. There is no capacity for 10 or more dwellings together with drainage needs.

(c) Environment: I suggest that Ashow is itself a fragile environment. The character of the village cannot be maintained if such a substantial incursion is approved.

(d) Transport: There is no access to public transport within or immediately adjacent to the village. The nearest bus route is on the A452 at the 'Chesford' crossroads. Thus, the development of this nature will be aimed at purchasers who themselves have one, or more probably two, cars per dwelling. Mathematically, the one village road cannot tolerate the increase of at least 20 cars and their movements without damage to the environment and danger to pedestrians.

(e) Need: Substantial (one might say enormous) housing development is taking place on 3 sites adjacent to Ashow: They are found at Glasshouse Lane, Crewe Lane and Thickthorn. The building of many hundreds of dwellings, which include an entirely new school, is already contributing enormous development to this area (in addition to the development of thousands of properties at Kings Hill, which has already been criticised in Parliament) ). It is not possible to identify the need for much of these developments and the environmental demands that they will make on the locality. I respectfully suggest that the need for the expansion of the village does not exist.

The site near Stoneleigh would greatly impact on this small village, making traffic much heavier along narrow roads, causing problems for nearby residents.

Ymatebydd: Kenilworth Town Council

This is almost entirely on Green Belt, and includes registered parkland, near Stoneleigh Motslow Hill, and a small area of ancient woodland at Kings Wood. These
areas should be protected from development.
• If the intention is to create employment opportunities and industrialise large areas alongside the A46, without housing. There is no urban centre or access to shops and
facilities here, therefore it wouldn’t create a sustainable development.
• It seems the intention is for employment, as opposed to energy use, i.e. solar farms.
As KTC declared a climate emergency, we would welcome renewable energy developments where appropriate.
• There could be an opportunity to extend sustainable transport here, e.g. a safe cycle route between Kenilworth and employment/leisure at Stoneleigh Agricultural
Centre.
• Dalehouse Lane and Crackley Lane are unsuitable for additional traffic, they are narrow and would require remodelling to accommodate active and leisure traffic.

Minerals and Waste

No objections on mineral sterilisation grounds subject to prior extraction of minerals and subject to
• Minerals Assessment Report (for assessing the possible impact on mineral resources and determining whether prior extraction is achievable),
• Materials Management Report (for assessing the sourcing and use of construction materials including the availability of on-site materials for reuse/recycling),
• Waste Site Assessment (for assessing the extent to which an existing waste site/use/operation would be prejudiced) (Finham Sewage Works),
• Site Waste Management Plan (a plan for reusing/recycling waste on site and avoiding off-site disposal to landfill),
• Soil Management Plan (a plan to manage all soils on site during construction)

Highways / Transport

There will be a need for detailed modelling to take place once there is an idea of numbers and more specific locations. The County Council will continue to work with the South Warwickshire Local Plan Team as thinking progresses.

Public transport availability can be assessed once further information is available about numbers and location.

Primary Education

This site is not suitable from an education perspective.
There are no available safe walking routes to schools.
Development would require the expansion of existing schools or, if development is circa 1,000 new dwellings, then we could look to deliver a new on-site primary school.
Significant home to school transport implications.

Secondary Education

This site is not suitable from an education perspective.
There are no available safe walking routes to schools.
Development on this site will require the provision of new secondary places and would have to be linked with other growth to support the delivery of a new secondary school.
Significant home to school transport implications.

Early Years

We would expect development at this site to support the provision of on site early years places.
