The proposed development threatens protected Green Belt land without exceptional justification, contradicting NPPF guidelines. It lacks a clear boundary, increasing urban sprawl and merging villages. The site has low housing capacity and would lead to the loss of productive farmland. It is not a sustainable 20-minute neighbourhood, with overstretched local services, inadequate foul drainage, and limited employment. Increased traffic on unsuitable roads poses safety risks, particularly for cyclists. It negatively impacts landscape quality, historic views from Kenilworth Castle, and biodiversity. Site selection should not be dictated by developer convenience but by sound planning principles.

Greenbelt should always be protected and should only be developed in exceptional circumstances.
Local infrastructure is already bursting at the seams in Kenilworth.
No new doctors, dentists, shops or schools have been bult on the east side of Kenilworth.
The roads around Warwick Road, Birches Lane and Rouncil Lane are often grid locked especially first thing in the morning. This will get worse with 1200 more new homes.

SG04 represents a further unsustainable development to Kenilworth, degrading its environment and conflicting with the stated goals in the plan. Kenilworth is already struggling with the amount of new housing which has escalated traffic problems - lack of plans to avoid car use, no provision of additional public transport - while also failing to provide supporting infrastructure (schools, clinics, etc). Any further impact on the green corridors between local communities cannot be sustained, especially with the impact of HS2 to the north.

Rounds Hill and Rouncil Lane is part of the National Cycle Route 52. Cyclists would face increased danger from extra volume of traffic along this route. The 20 minute neighbourhood requirement would not be met with development of SG04. No Dentist, no GP or transport. No exceptional circumstances to justify removal of Green Belt as per NPPF. Developers preferences in selecting sites to develop should not be considered for ease and cheapness. Considerable increase in traffic along single road ( Rouncil Lane) and already used by Articulated HGVs from abattoir would be hazardous. Biodiversity severely compromised. Lost countryside and nature.

Current residential developments in Kenilworth(3722); the proposed additional number of houses cannot be supported.

Green Belt land must be protected.

SG4 area has the second lowest housing capacity yield of all spatial growth areas resulting in the loss of good agricultural land(grade 2)

There would be need for additional GP’s, Dentists, transport parking facilities, services and schools.

Current traffic levels in Kenilworth are beginning to reach critical levels at morning/evening rush hours.

Re-engineering of current residential roadways providing widening, local parking provision etc.

Beyond the deristiction signs, new main and local roads will be necessary to the abattoir (1.5 miles).

Infrastructure cannot cope with all the new 29,000 homes being concentrated in a few massive developments in the area particularly south Leamington and Whitnash which is gridlocked.

Kenilworth is struggling with the amount of people who live here.Traffic is busy, many cars are parked on the road with pollution increasing. It’s only a matter of time before accidents happen due to increased traffic flow and negative effect of the delays on the residents starts to take hold. There are new build sites still in development with plots unsold. Green areas are disappearing,with the closure of parts of Abbey fields the town is feeling claustrophobic. The school is oversubscribed . There must be other areas with resources to focus on vs pushing this historical town to its limit.

Kenilworth amenities and infrastructure are already not able to meet demands of the current population.
Development of this site will generate significant traffic flows with very few options for traffic especially in peak travel times - many roads in the area already have cars parked on them, new developments with restricted parking space may well result in overflow on existing roads.
Development would result in significant additional on Rouncil Lane, a road which I frequently cycle on - cyclists are frequently not respected.
Development of non green belt sites should be a higher priority.
Countryside should be a treasured resource.

Valuable Green Belt land will be destroyed, this should be protected for future generations. Ancient hedgerows, trees, well used footpaths, farmland, and space between Leek Wootton will destroyed. The view from Kenilworth Castle, a Grade 1 listed building will be significantly destroyed. All GPs, dentists and schools are already over subscribed and over stretched due to the current house building in Kenilworth. There are no local bus services for the proposed site meaning a significant increase in traffic on already busy local roads. The cycle route 52 would become less safe due to this increase in traffic.

SG04 is a southward expansion of Kenilworth into the Green Belt. This with the upward expansion of Warwick with the proposed Loes Farm development Ref 93 and the potential sites within Leek Wootton leads to an urbanised corridor between the towns. It is a further unnecessary erosion of green belt which is primarily there to avoid such linking urbanisation and to ensure separation between Urban Centres. There is sufficient brownfield and other lands available to serve the housing needs. In addition when completed HS2 will release land which it currently occupies for construction but is not required for operational needs.

-The area north of Rouncil Lane is on top of the hill and clearly visible from Kenilworth Castle. Housing would destroy the view from, and significantly impact the setting of, the Castle.

This is Green Belt land. It would massively extend the boundary of Kenilworth and start to encroach on Leek Wootton. The traffic through Kenilworth is already impossible and the doctors and hospitals are already beyond capacity. How could this possibly be considered as a strategic growth location? Are we completely trying to ruin our countryside and our towns? There is massive development going on within Kenilworth, shouldn't this be the limit of what the town and surrounding countryside can cope with? Will we have any green fields left in Warwickshire?

I dispair at the increase in housing in the area. Already the infra structure is not adequate for new housing. Poor roads especially Rouncil Lane, schools oversubscribed, doctors surgeries also at breacking point, as yet we have not experieced water shortages in the area but with much more demand with new houses already built where does the water supply come from to sustain new demand. We're asked to keep our gardens 'green' for plant and wildlife yet building vast areas of housing will annihilate green belt areas that sustain such an important part of our bio diversity.

The plan should only run for 15 years, any longer is not sustainable. The location of SG04 is unsustainable and will increase traffic in the town which is already becoming gridlocked from the new estates already being built.
