It is not necessary to remove Green Belt land in North Leamington from the West Midlands green belt for the purposes of the plan,

It's not a sustainable location, because I believe that building houses in this area would promote car use rather than reduce it.

The green belt around North Leamington continues to fulfill the stated purpose of Green Belt land. It adheres to the five purposes of Green Belt land and local analysis shows that this area still meets all of the above criteria for Green Belt land.

The use of Green Belt land for development should always be as an absolute last resort. Based on the other options available for development that are not in Green Belt there is more than sufficient capacity to meet the required needs.
Based on this simple fact, the development of Green Belt does not meet the minimum requirement for use and should therefore be excluded from development.

I don't want them to build on the field because it helps mental health and me and my friends always walk around the field together because there are lot's of animals that live there ( deer, rabbits, badgers, peregrine falcons, birds, cats, foxes). There are also lots of horses that live next to the field and the trees there are used for carbon dioxide and all the hedge rows and habitat are nice for people, tourists to see and if you build there it wont be nice anymore for anyone.

There are no exceptional circumstances to remove SG06 from the Green Belt. It removal from Green Belt was rejected by the Inspector in 2017. It is high quality open green belt land. Green Belt Review is flawed. SG06 is high quality farm land with excellent footpaths. Major supermarkets and employment land are to the south of Leamington, development will worsen traffic gridlock. It is more than 20 minutes walking from those facilities. The schools in the area are fully subscribed. There is no GP surgery in area. Surface water flooding. It prevents urban sprawl and meets requirements of Green Belt.

SG06 will present many traffic challenges. You will open up major traffic through the village of old Milverton into Warwick as well as the main road into Leamington on kenilworth road. It is not possible to avoid these. You can’t keep building around a town that links to another town (Warwick) that doesn’t have internal roads that support that level of people

This will have an adverse effect to people's mental and physical health in the area. The country side is needed for this densely populated part of the town. The increased numbers of people will negatively effect what little country side we have,the area already has a large numbers of people walking through farmers fields. The area is also already suffering with noise pollution, fly tipping and antisocial behaviour. Lastly I can forsee flooding being quite a problem with even less area for surface water not able to be absorbed when there is server wet weather.

I absolutely do not agree with the development of the SG06 site for housing. This is beautiful countryside that will be lost forever. The development of this land will be an eyesore, will add significant pressure to already stressed infrastructure and diminish the local community feel in this area.
There are significant developments being built in Leamington, how many more do we really need and especially at the cost of greenfield locations.
To build here would be awful but I suspect the so called leaders in charge will not heed any other views other than their own self serving views.

This land is part of a swathe of land that has an established and important agricultural use. Wheat and Rape Seed are rotated and are important for UK food and bio fuel needs. Without it and other areas like it grain/ fuel has to be imported from across the world thereby decreasing local sustainability of food and increasing CO2 emissions.
Once prime agricultural land is lost to building it is gone forever, it cannot be replaced!. Houses, solar panels and other non agricultural use of that land reduces our sustainability of food it does not increase it.
WDC should think seriously about meeting housing need without decimating vital agricultural land.

South Warwickshire’s housing need can be met without using green belt land. The Local Plan’s Sustainability Appraisal confirms that 48,500 dwellings in Strategic Growth Locations and 6,000 in New Settlements outside the green belt provide sufficient capacity for the required 30,000 homes by 2050. Therefore, there is no justification for green belt release. Unmet needs from Coventry and Redditch should be addressed near those cities, not in North Leamington. Additionally, SG06 is not a sustainable location, conflicting with the plan’s 20-minute neighborhood vision.

This area is green belt land and is not connected to the existing conurbation of Leamington Spa. Neither is it served well with transport links or in close proximity to the rail station or highways. The existing schools in the region are also at capacity. After so much of our green belt land in the area has been destroyed by HS2, this would be yet another tragedy for the rural area. Sufficient capacity for growth can be sustained by the non green belt options on the plan.

South Warwickshire’s housing need can be met without building on such high yielding, sustainable grain producing green belt land – which contributes to 2 of the local plan’s overarching principles:
• healthy, safe and inclusive south Warwickshire
2 miles of well used and valued footpaths, far higher proportion than the national average
• biodiverse and environmentally resilient area
• land is subject to flooding
• lack of schools, surgery
SG06 will not provide a sustainable location/ ‘20 minute neighbourhood’, trains 30-60 minute walk, nearest transport hub 1.5+ miles, all necessitating a car, adding to frustrating gridlock.

The Sustainability Appraisal states that development needs until 2050 can be met by using land outside of the greenbelt. Unmet needs of Coventry and Redditch should be met bordering them.
This area could never be considered a 20 minute neighbourhood without unfundable infrastructure development.
The contribution to the purposes of Greenbelt are grossly understated by the poor review conducted by Arup.
It is a crucial open area surrounded by and preventing Urban sprawl.
It currently makes a huge contribution to biodiversity and healthy safe and inclusive environments.
Inclusion is against NPPF guidance (2024) and the planning inspector's previous comments (2017)

I object to the proposal for SG06 to cover land north of Leamington. This is Grade 2 agricultural land and is within the green belt. This development represents urban encroachment towards Kenilworth and the green belt is essential in this area to prevent the merging of two towns (Kenilworth and Leamington Spa). The green belt south of Coventry is already one of the 'thinnest' areas in the West Midlands Green Belt. South Warwickshire's housing need can be met without removing land from the green belt, this is not a sustainable location, i.e. not a "20-minute neighbourhood".

Development needs can be met without using Greenbelt land and this is demonstrated in your sustainability appraisal.
Without prohibitively expensive and significant public infrastructure investment, it does not meet the sustainability goal of being a 20 minute neighbourhood, especially when the major food shopping centres are south of the river Avon or in Warwick.
SG06 makes a vital and inarguable contribution to the 5 purposes of greenbelt in the highest possible way.
The Greenbelt review has been skewed by Bias and contradicts the previous planning officer's comments of 2017.
Inclusion is contrary to the aims of the SWLP and NPPF.

It inarguably fulfils all 5 purposes of greenbelt, particularly in openness and preventing urban sprawl. This is not reflected in the poor evaluation contained within the greenbelt review.
It consists of some of the best and most productive farmland in the area which should be protected for food production.
Development needs can be met without including greenbelt land in the review and even if that were not the case, this land should be considered after other areas of lower contribution and intrinsic sustainability value.
It is an important firebreak against harmful development.
It cannot contribute to a 20 minute neighbourhood.

The housing need can be met without building on greenbelt land. The target of 30,000 additional new dwellings can be comfortably achieved within Strategic Growth Locations which aren't in the greenbelt (48,500 opportunities).

Furthermore, the Local Plan wants new developments to be "20 minute neighbourhoods" where local services including train stations and bus routes are within a 10 minute walk. SG06 is not a sustainable location as it is a 30 minute walk to Leamington train station from the closest point and a one hour walk from the furthest. Building houses in SG06 would promote car use rather than reduce

This is Green Belt area and should remain so. The urban sprawl of South Leamington is likely to be replicated here. Vital animal habitats and farmland would be damaged or completely destroyed. Trees, so important for our survival, would be lost, and this area has seen enough of that with HS2 destruction.
The landscape changed. Areas of natural beauty and green spaces lost.
Old Milverton Lane/Sandy Lane is a narrow, country road, so would presumably need to be widened. More roads to be closed presumably.
Local schools may well need to be expanded. More building?

Location SG06 should not be used for housing as good agricultural land would be lost. It should be noted that the Local Plan indicates that it is possible to meet housing requirements without using green belt and agricultural land in Location SG06. Also Location SG06 is remote from the centre of Leamington and it would not be possible to walk there. Location SG06 satisfies the five purposes for Green Belt land and the location has a lot of wildlife and the area is regularly used by walkers.

I do not believe there has been sufficient justification for reassigning green belt land for the construction of residential and other buildings. I would think there is sufficient brownfield or better still the modernisation and regeneration of existing town properties that could be converted or updated to provide residential and office space. Using green belt land does not serve future generations or the wider planet.

I do not believe there is sufficient justification for redesignating valuable existing green belt land for building use when there must already be ample existing brownfield areas that are ripe for regeneration. In order for new development to be viable, I also believe there would be an urgent prior need to improve and enhance existing traffic, utility and social infrastructure in both Leamington Spa and Kenilworth, mention of which I have not seen referenced in this large document. This part of Warwickshire has already long been blighted by development work for HS2, and deserves to be left in peace.
