This is high quality greenbelt land, with high nature value, including bats in the area, which would be negatively affected by any development. I frequently use the public footpath through the proposed site for dog walking and recreation. Again, any development would destroy this and negatively affect wellbeing for the local community. This would also put further strain on local services, including schools and would increase traffic. Pollution levels are already high on Leicester Lane due to traffic.

Building on this site was thrown out of court in 2017.
The location is further than 20 minutes from the station therefore it will bring more & more traffic as residents use cars to travel rather than walk. Leamington cant handle this.
This green belt land is really important for local well being - Thousands of locals use the footpaths here VERY regularly. I use the land every day for walks, dog walks, walking with family & friends & running.
There are plenty of non green belt sites that should be used that will allow for housing strategic growth developments.

There is insufficient infrastructure to support housing between Old Milverton and the Kenilworth Road. New residents would be situated a long way from schools, shopping facilities and other amenities. Therefore they would have to use cars to travel. This would put Old Milverton Road under strain and cause a bottleneck at its junction with Rugby Road. The alternative routes through town to amenities South of the River Leamington would not be able to cope with increased traffic.

The green belt review informing the plan is flawed.

Old Milverton Village clearly sits within the greenbelt, not on the edge of it. We have farmed around the village for 40 years. This proposed development land, adjacent to the village is this is the most productive land on the farm. Having adapted to urban farming, by not keeping livestock we have developed a symbiotic relationship with the footpath users who enjoy the open space, proximity to wildlife and seeing up close how food is produced. This unique area between the crook of the river and the town must be preserved.

Poor use of critical green belt land in an unsustainable location which would rely on private over public transport. Would cut away at an already shrinking greenbelt between Leamington and Kenilworth, irreplaceably losing the identities of existing villages and disposing of high-quality agricultural land. The planning inspector has already rejected this site as a poor candidate and stated the adverse effects it would cause. The SWLP own analysis states that the housing need can be met without using green belt land, which has to be a key focus for South Warwickshire moving forward.

To meet the plan locations that are not in the Greenbelt area can meet the current requirement. Land for urban regeneration should be given priority. The endless stream of local residents using the footpath entrance on Bamburgh Grove is the most significant reason. There are over 3.2Km of footpaths in SG06 used everyday by local residents whose quality of life and wellbeing would be significantly impacted. Not developing this land maintains the separation between Leamington and Kenilworth preventing urban sprawl and the seeping of the two areas into one large suburban area with a resulting loss of identity.

This is ACL Grade 2 Agricultural land and it is essential to maintain it to ensure food security for the future. Building on this land would subsume Old Milverton and Blackdown into Leamington and would lead to further development , reducing the boundary between Leamington and Kenilworth compromising the purpose of the Green Belt. Extensive development in this area would lead to increased dependance on cars leading to increased traffic, more pollution and noise. Similar proposals were rejected 6 years ago by the then Planning Inspector due to the adverse effect on the openess, character and appearance of the area.

Being a commuter through Leamington / Warwick every day the new developments that have been recently built have put an incredible strain on a poor transport infrastructure system. The towns are gridlocked every day due to people living in the North of Warwickshire travelling to the South. SG06 puts further pressure on this broken infrastructure. The nearest large transport hub is nearly 2 miles away. Everyone living in this area will need to commute by car to get where they want.

There are many reasons why building on this area would not be beneficial to the local environment.
Firstly it is green belt land where other land is still available locally.
This area is a huge part of the local and wider community well being, providing large open spaces to walk, talk and enjoy all of the nature available. An especially important part of our everyday, high pressured lifestyles.
Having an extra houses in this area would add pressure to the road systems, schools and facilities in the area too.

It is possible to meet housing need without building on green belt land, as according to the Sustainable Appraisal there is enough capacity in locations which are not in green belt land.

I believe that building houses would promote car use, as it lies outside the “20-minute neighbourhood” principle.

The five purposes of green belt land are met by SG06.

Having this land near-by to where I live contributes massively to me and my family being able to spent time in a healthy, safe and inclusive area.

Another overarching principle is to have a biodiverse and environmentally resilient South Warwickshire.

The SG06 should be excluded from the plan for the following reasons:

The land is high agricultural land which is cultivated. Farmers are being urged to produce more food so that we are not reliant on imports.

The land provides an important habitat for wildlife and plant life and this should be protected at a time when, due to development, the countryside is ever diminishing.

The public footpaths are extensively used by thousands of both local residents and visitors alike for exercise and recreation and, therefore, this land should be protected.

One vital purpose of the Green Belt is to stop urban sprawl.

SG06 is not suitable for housing because it has no access to transport infrastructure other than a high reliance on cars. The land meets the criteria of greenbelt and similar plans were rejected in 2017 with no changes made for 2025.
It has historically constrained urban sprawl. Previous desk based analysis contributes to a lack of understanding of the benefits of the openness and permanence of green belt land on the health mental wellbeing of footpath users.
The land is high value ALC Grade 2 farmland with recorded red list species. Developing SG06 undermines greenbelt principles upheld by WDC elsewhere.

While I understand the need for development, I don't agree that the area being considered in SG06 is suitable for this. It's an important and well used area of open farmland, footpaths and lanes that allows a huge number of people in North Leamington and Warwick to get out of town within a few minutes walk or drive. It's an area especially important in wintertime when there are limited daylight hours. Working 9-5, the small window of opportunity to get out of town into what feels like the countryside in the light would be impossible without this area.

It is not necessary to use green belt land to build more houses. Legal precedent makes it clear that green belt land to the north of Leamington Spa makes a strong contribution to Green Belt Purpose A. There needs to be more informed analysis of the contribution of green belt land at SG06. There are a wide variety of habitat and species that make up the food chain in this area and contribute significantly to the biodiversity of the area. Many young children walk to local schools along the Old Milverton road and additional car use will be dangerous.

It does not fit the 20-minute neighbourhood concept, not being within walking distance of essential facilities. Other developments, like HS2 and around Coventry airport, already impact the greenbelt.
