Rouncil Lane and Rounds Hill part off National Cycle Route 52. Increased volume of transport negatively affects safety for cyclists.
Kenilworth castle is a grade 1 listed building meaning it is legally protected due to its historic significance. Removal of green belt land west of Rouncil lane would significantly impact the setting of this grade 1 listed building.
SG04 is outside the 20 minute neighbourhood criteria with little to no realistic public transport which would result in an increase of car use which will increase carbon emissions and therefore unsustainable.
Foul drainage is already inadequate on Rouncil Lane (abattoir).

Development of Greenbelt will merge the boundaries of Kenilworth with Leek Wootton. Sustainability report lists SG04 as 2nd lowest housing capacity of all spatial growth areas. No GP, secondary school, Bus,train within 20min and existing local amenities overstretched.Will result in over reliance on cars and increased air pollution. Increased traffic along narrow unsuitable Rouncil lane dangerous in addition to large lorries already accessing abattoir. Open views across to Kenilworth Castle and from the castle over the Olde Park negatively affecting an important historic monument.

In particular plots 140 and 183 should not be included:
-The land is Green Belt and retains all the historical and biodiversity characteristics of the “Forest of Arden Special Landscape Area”.
-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.
-The land once formed part of the Castle deer park. Housing would destroy the remaining earthworks and any other historical remains.

SG04, with the second-lowest housing capacity yield of all spatial growth areas, is an unsuitable site that would result in farmland loss. It would strain already overloaded infrastructure, damage the landscape, harm biodiversity, and pose safety risks to cyclists on Rouncil Lane and Rounds Hill, part of National Cycle Route 52. Increased traffic would negatively affect cyclist safety. Site selection should consider environmental, social, and infrastructure impacts, not just developer convenience or cost

This proposal threatens protected Green Belt land without justification, reducing the gap between villages and extending development into the countryside. It will permanently damage the Arden Special Landscape Area, harm biodiversity, and destroy productive farmland. Infrastructure is already overstretched—schools, healthcare, and drainage cannot support further growth. The site is unsustainable, lacking essential amenities within a 20-minute reach. Increased traffic on unsuitable roads will worsen congestion and endanger cyclists. Access to valued footpaths will be lost, impacting community well-being. Site selection should be based on planning merit, not developers’ preferences. More appropriate, less damaging locations exist.

This land falls within the protected Green Belt. Construction on this land would result in a blurring of the boundaries between Kenilworth and Leek wootton and erosion of the countryside surrounding Kenilworth.
This site is not sustainable without considerable new infrastructure: new roads, new drains, more medical and dental practices. Kenilworth Secondary school is already unable to meet demand. Existing infrastructure is struggling to meet existing demand with roads and sewers constantly being repaired.
Other sites within the area, not in the green belt have been identified and should be used before consideration is given to destroying green belt land.

This development at SG04 is not an exceptional circumstance, it is unnecessary and harmful. It would damage an historic site, lose the special character of Kenilworth town, destroy a wildlife corridor, contribute to urban sprawl, overload local infrastructure, destroy a protected rural footpath, and build on disputed land. Green Belt protections are supposed to prevent this exact kind of overdevelopment.

The proposed development on Green Belt land is entirely unjustified. There are no exceptional circumstances to remove its protection, as required by the NPPF. This land prevents urban sprawl and merging of villages while providing vital landscapes, biodiversity, and farmland. Local infrastructure is already under strain—schools, healthcare, and drainage cannot support more housing. The area lacks sustainable transport links, increasing congestion and pollution. Traffic on Rouncil Lane and Warwick Road will worsen, endangering cyclists and walkers. Planning should prioritise sustainable, non-Green Belt sites instead of destroying irreplaceable countryside for developers’ convenience. More appropriate alternatives must be considered.

This proposed development would permanently damage the environment, increase traffic congestion, and overwhelm already stretched local services. The Green Belt must be protected—there are no exceptional circumstances to justify its loss. This site lacks essential infrastructure, with no nearby GP, secondary school, or reliable public transport, making it unsustainable. Increased traffic on Rouncil Lane would create safety risks, while local biodiversity and historic landscapes would be irreversibly harmed. Flooding and drainage issues would worsen, and vital green spaces would be lost. There are far more suitable, sustainable alternatives, and this development must be rejected to protect our town’s future.

The assessment is fundamentally flawed. On Cultural Heritage, this site would impact the setting of Kenilworth Castle. SG04 is clearly visible from Leicester's Building to the Strong Tower. This should count as a red rating on Cultural Heritage.

On landscape in SG04, the 2013 report gave LW08 a red rating. This is right next to plot 177. If one side of a valley has a high sensitivity, they surely the other side of the valley does too?

The land is in what was the “Forest of Arden Special Landscape Area”, and retains the landscape character that justified SLA designation. The hill west of Rounds Hill is in the view from Kenilworth Castle. Housing on it would harm the Castle's setting. The land in SG04 is within the site of 'the Olde Parke', part of the deer park. Earthworks are still visible; housing development would destroy these and any other historical remains.
The area includes a well-used footpath connecting Kenilworth to the countryside which would be lost.
The land is good quality farmland which should be protected.

The plan is extremely detrimental to the area. It will involve taking away large areas of green space and high quality agricultural land. The green space in Leek Wootton is extremely important to the community and it extensively used as a space for exercise, wildlife and community activity. It is a valuable resource which should not not lost. in addition the extra traffic that this will bring in addition to the developments already underway will change the village forever and lead to grid lock at busy times.

I strongly oppose the inclusion of SG04 in the plan. It is Green Belt land, and no exceptional circumstances justify its release. Development would harm the historic setting of Kenilworth Castle, a Grade I listed monument, and erode its tourism appeal. SG04 lacks key infrastructure, including secondary schools, GP surgeries, and suitable roads, making it an unsustainable location. It is not a 20-minute neighbourhood, and its sustainability rating is poor. The Green Belt should be protected, and alternative non-Green Belt sites should be prioritised. SG04 fails to meet sustainable development principles and must be removed from the plan.

New estates have been built recently in Kenilworth without supporting infrastructure - doctors, dentists, reduced bus routes.
Residents in the new houses will be isolated from the rest of the Kenilworth community. SG04 is a long way from shops at Oaks Precinct and Roseland Road, thus increasing traffic on narrow Farm Road, Rounds Hill and Rouncil Lane.
Roads also unsuitable for heavy builders' lorries.
Why is this Plan designed to cover up to 2050 instead of 2042, with the likely abolition of the two District Councils before then? Fewer houses would mean Less need to include Green Belt land.

An important Green Belt area for water retention during heavy rains, which prevents downstream flooding.
The proposal almost merges Kenilworth with Leek Wootton - loss of individual identities.
Increase in traffic congestion, air and noise pollution, further loss of Green Belt and strain on existing infrastructure with its negative impact on health and quality of life.
Rouncil lane is a popular route used by large number of cyclists, runners and horse-riders this will become more dangerous.
The development will be visible from Kenilworth Castle, an English Heritage Grade I listed Scheduled Monument and amount to diminishing its heritage.
