Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

This development will likely require treatment at Warwick - Longbridge (STW) Treatment Works, this Wastewater Treatment Works has medium capacity and high environmental constraints. Due to the size of the development, it is recommended that network upgrades will be required, alongside hydraulic modelling and engagement with STW. Overall this development site is considered a medium/high risk location, there is some capacity however in order to accommodate growth, infrastructure upgrades will be required and we would need to work closely to understand build timelines, in order to plan accordingly.

The green belt at north leamington should remain as the northern boundary to conserve nature habitats and accessible countryside for residents. Also the merge of kenilworth and Leamington should b prevented.

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

I oppose the proposal to build new dwellings on the SG06 site in North Leamington Green Belt for several reasons. This area is green belt land and high-quality agricultural land that should be preserved. It serves as a vital recreational space for local residents, easily accessible without a car. Additionally, the existing infrastructure is insufficient, and new developments would exacerbate traffic congestion in Milverton. The distance from Leamington Railway Station would also necessitate car use for residents. As a long-term resident of North Leamington, I feel my views are important and stand firmly against this proposal

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

Loss of an irreplaceable green space that provides an oasis of fresh air and quiet, and paths that give access to a varied landscape with different natural habitats for people to enjoy. Building on this area will result in a greater use of cars which will exacerbate problems with traffic congestion and poor air quality. The use of this site will signal the removal of the greenbelt with all its benefits and will adversely affect the special character of Leamington and its attractions as a desirable place to live, work or visit.

Re:SG06

1- New houses could be built else where and not in the Green Belt as there’s capacity for that.
2- Public foot paths are used and enjoyed by many of local residents.
3- The area provides habitat for wild life.

Traffic horrendous takes an hour to get to bottom of town
Schools all at capacity
Local children turned away from NLS and having to travel across town. Trinity school is half empty. Build there utilise that resource
Ruin countryside which is why many of use chose to pay premium and live this end of town
Bottom of town already ruined and now has infrastructure to support more, roads, drs, supermarkets etc
Will lower our house prices and generally ruin the look and feel of the area which has already been decimated by HS2 works

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

The area does not meet the criteria for a "20 minute neighbourhood" as it is between a 30-60 min walk to the shops
The area is green belt with diverse wildlife and high quality agricultural land with footpaths used by many local people
The Strategic Growth locations NOT in the green belt can more than meet the S.Warwickshire's stated housing needs
The area continues to fulfill it's stated purpose of separating Leamington, local villages and Kenilworth
The same proposals were previously rejected by the planning inspector in 2017 and nothing substantial has changed since then.

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

Whilst the aim is for people to live close to where they work and for Active Travel to be a priority, it must be acknowledged that people often choose to reside and work in different places. Commuting is the norm and the SWLP must accommodate this. Settlement expansion and locations of new settlements must be supported by transport infrastructure.

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

I strongly object to the plans to build on the greenbelt in SG06, as it is unlawful when there is other suitable available land. I frequently run in this area and oppose the development of this rural landscape. The location is unsustainable, being a 30-minute walk from the train station, and it would increase car usage and pollution. Leamington and Warwick have already taken on more than their fair share of housing, and it is essential that other areas share this responsibility to preserve our valuable greenbelt in Warwickshire.

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

It is important to retain and maintain all the open areas between Leamington and Kenilworth. This helps reinforce the individuality of each settlement and provides open countryside for public use and agriculture. The footpath network here is already well used and needs to be retained as an option to the town parks of Abbey Fields and Newbold Comyn. The two towns are distinct from each other and their uniqueness must be maintained. Eroding the area between the two towns with residential and associated infrastructure will result in a loss of the very characteristics that make this part of Warwickshire unique.

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

As a local resident, I strongly oppose SG06’s inclusion in the Local Plan. This development would destroy greenbelt land, harming biodiversity and depriving residents of vital outdoor space. HS2 has already disrupted Cubbington- enough is enough. Infrastructure, including roads, schools, and healthcare, is overstretched, and further growth will worsen congestion and strain services. Offchurch Road and Windmill Hill are already too fast and unsafe for heavy traffic. Cubbington has a distinct village identity, which this development threatens to erase. The council must reconsider SG06 and protect our already pressured community.

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

Extensive development in the North Leamington area would add huge additional traffic pressures on the main roads into the town centre the south of the Leam, and the railway line, where nearly all the major supermarkets and shopping parks are located. Access to Kenilworth as an alternative shopping destination would be little better. Development of location(s) SG06 would also remove a significant area of agricultural green-belt land. As recognised in the consultation document, non-green belt land should be prioritised instead.

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

SG06 is Green Belt land, so it should not be developed. However, if all other options are exhausted then - as long as any development has good walking and cycling routes to, from and within the development - I would rather that we build houses so more people can afford to have a good place to live.

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

The plan is contrary to the concept of 20 minute neighbourhoods, the train station and bus routes are too far away as are other local services such as shops, GP surgeries etc meaning that residents will be reliant on cars exacerbating existing traffic problems in the area. Additional school places discussed are not in the north leamington area further increasing reliance on cars and adding additional traffic.

it is not necessary to remove green belt land in North Leamington from the West Midlands Green Belt for
the purposes of the South Warwickshire Local Plan.

There are better parcels of land that are not green belt that cou accommodate more people. And with better links.

building houses in SG06 would promote car use rather than reduce it.

SG06 West is a treasured local amenity, providing a tranquil countryside walk from east to west to Old MIlverton and on to the Saxon Mill. It is in constant use by walkers and dog owners. People walk from Lillington to Guy's Cliffe this way. Whilst it is overlooked by houses from the S, there are enough fields, trees and hedges to make a lovely experience. It would be completely ruined by any further development and join Leamington to the ancient settlement of Old MIlverton, which is what Green Belt is supposed to prevent.

I do not agree with this plan - the traffic is already terrible around this area towards North Leamington school. Its dangerous for school children due to the traffic. The plans will create even more traffic & more pollution in the area.

This site is also a place where many people walk directly from town, no need to get in car to drive to the countryside. If this is built on residents will have to drive to get access to the country side.

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

I’m concerned that areas SG05&6 do not represent appropriate land for building houses. Areas of concern are:

Road capacity to proposed area including the already overcrowded A46

Water drainage from land could send too much surface water through dragon fields stream.

Destroying green belt land which is is preserving local wildlife and Leamington Spa resident wellbeing walking area.

The area is too far from Leamington Spa town centre services - transport /shopping etc.

My recommendation would be to be to continue to build in the Gaydon area, close to industry and recent developments to fully establish a new town area.

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

1) Housing targets can be met by non-green belt sites so exceptional circumstances are not present.
2) No provision in the current NPPF for 'sustainability' to determine whether green belt land can be used over non-green belt land. This undermines both the Spatial Growth Strategy and the SWLP Green Belt Review and should be rectified.
3) SG06 preserves the historic characters of Leamington, Kenilworth and Coventry and fulfils all five Green Belt purposes.
4) High quality agricultural land.
5) A special area of green belt with a higher proportion of footpaths, contributing to the ‘healthy, safe and inclusive’ SWLP principle.

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

I strongly object to the proposed development on Warwickshire Green Belt (SG06). This land is vital for local wildlife, providing essential habitats that would be destroyed by construction. It also serves as a valued green space for walking, recreation, and mental well-being. The development contradicts Green Belt protections, threatens biodiversity, and places further strain on already stretched local infrastructure. The National Planning Policy Framework states that Green Belt land should only be built on in ‘exceptional circumstances,’ which have not been demonstrated. I urge Warwick District Council to reject this proposal and protect our countryside for future generations.
