Living in Leamington gives us access to a beautiful town but within minutes to beautiful countryside. From home we can walk through the fields from Bamburgh Grove all the way to Saxon Mill , good for us physically and mentally.
The housing plan can be met without building on green belt. This area is not a sustainable location and would promote car use. The farmland is high quality agricultural land and makes a strong contribution to sustainability and to the security of our food supply - something that was a huge worry during the pandemic.

South Warwickshire's housing need can be met without building on Green Belt land.
SG06 is not a "sustainable location".
The Green Belt around North Leamington continues to fulfil the stated purposes of Green Belt Land.
The Green Belt Review informing the Plan is flawed.
The farmland is high quality agricultural land and makes an important contribution to sustainability and security of food supply.
The same proposals were rejected by the Planning Inspector in 2017.
SG06 contributes to the SWLP principles "healthy, safe and inclusive" and "biodiverse and environmentally resilient".

SG06 greenbelt comprises productive arable land growing cereals, oilseeds, protein crops & grassland, is farmed sustainably using direct drilling and companion crops for soil health, with overwinter cover crops which are beneficial to wildlife, plus well maintained grass margins and hedges providing cover and food to wildlife. The, tree, scrubland and water make it a wildlife haven adjacent to built up areas. SG06 has well maintained pathways allowing people to walk in the countryside benefiting their physical and mental health. The loss of this land used for food production, wildlife and people's wellbeing will be detrimental to the surrounding area.

Totally disagree that the plans for this area . This land is well used as farming land, the farmer takes great care of his fields, using it to supply wheat for the local companies, its well maintained, with care, local inhabitants to walk through on well defined paths.
Developers are not interested in the effect this will have on surrounding areas, Old Milverton road is already well used.
I’m aware that as Country we need to build houses for our ever expanding population. Proposed houses will be affordable houses and will there be any Schools, doctors or amenities in the plans,????

Further Incursion into Greenbelt land
Increased development in this area will not only result in the loss of productive agricultural land and its associated Landscape Character it is against policy when other locations are proposed .
The proposed site is the northern gateway to Warwick.
The A4177 and A46 are already heavily congested at peak times and cause gridlock in Warwick
M40 J15 is also operating at close to capacity.

This area is the only green space for residents in north Leamington. Without this space we would need to get in a car to walk a dog and enjoy the countryside.
North Leamington School is already a very large school. There is already a huge amount of traffic queing between Kenilworth and Leamington Spa in the mornings/evenings.

South Warwickshire's housing needs can be met without building on greenbelt land that is of high agricultural & ecological quality. Nor can the area support new housing & associated traffic & people density. Traffic will increase, not decrease.

The Sustainability Appraisal within the Local plan shows that:
• Strategic Growth Locations which are NOT in the green belt have capacity for 48,500 dwellings (Table 5.1).
• New Settlements which are NOT in the green belt have capacity for a further 6,000 dwellings (Table 6.1).
Therefore it is possible to meet housing need without building on protected green belt. There is sufficient capacity within the Strategic Growth Locations outside the Green Belt. Therefore exceptional circumstances cannot be met and there is no requirement to release green belt sites to meet the housing requirements.

SG06 is not a sustainable location for additional development, it's location is over 30 minute walk to Leamington train station and over 20 minutes walk into the centre of Leamington Town. This promotes the use of cars in a present infrastructure which cannot cope with the volume of traffic. It consistently takes over 30 minutes to reach the Shire's retail park south of Leamington Town Centre from the SG06 location due to traffic volumes. This is not a sustainable location in a town which traffic volumes and pollution levels are already a real problem.

I object to the proposed location SG06 for the following reasons:
1) Green belt land. I object to building on green belt land
2) Traffic and Road Capacity. I object because there is insufficient capacity/pedestrian footpaths and dangerous road junctions. I also don't have confidence that Warwickshire will anticipate and plan based on past experience in the South of Leamington.
3) Community facilities. I object that Warwickshire can't anticipate and plan based on past experience in the South of Leamington.
4) School. I object that Warwickshire can't anticipate and plan based on past experience in the South of Leamington.

The farmland and wildlife area around North Leamington had already been damaged by HS2 railway line.
Considering the area within the plan will just destroy the Green belt area even more.
It will also increase the number of vehicles on the region (as not within a sustainable walking distance to the train station), causing additional traffic and an increase in the pollution levels.
Additional houses will also cause an increase of applications on the schools in our region, which will affect and impact the quality of the study our kids currently have.

This will affect green belt and farm land that has already been affected by hs2 works. Will be detrimental to the environment and increase pollution in the area which is already high.
There is not the required travel infrastructure or transport links which will increase the vehicles on the areas roads.
There is not the required school/doctors/food shops etc within the area so will see reduction in quality of those services.

I do not agree the proposed SG06 being considered for inclusion with the plan.
Reasons:
1. SG06 is not a sustainable location as defined by your requirements, the nearest hub is much further away from points in SG06, this means more cars will be on the already jammed pack North Leamington Spa roads.
2. South Warwickshire's housing need can be met without building on Green Belt Land, sufficient capacity exists at Strategic Growth Locations to meet requirements to 2050.
3. Why keep coming back to same location when it was rejected by the planning inspector in 2017?

No supporting infrastructure, including shops, transport, drainage and sewage disposal are available. Occasional flooding already happens.
There will be no safe access to the A452. This is a narrow and busy road and regularly sees traffic jams.
The arable fields provide vital food resources for the community. These areas also support diverse wildlife which are vital for the health of the country.
The current green space is needed by North Leamington residents to ensure their mental health and wellbeing can be maintained.
There are no places in the primary and secondary schools.

It is a strategic error to propose building on SG06 because developing this land would contradict the Strategic Objectives, as the location is not sustainable (objective1) as it requires over 30min walk to town or the train station. It would be in direct conflicts with Strategic objective 12 because it is high quality agricultural land and because the footpaths are used as a local amenity for many. It would also damage the historic setting of Old Milverton and Leamington Spa. SG06 also meets all 5 purposes of Green Belt land, so none-green belt land should be prioritized (see NPFF).

SG06 should be excluded from the plan because:
It is not lawful to build on green belt land if capacity can be met elsewhere locations and the plan has capacity for enough homes without building on green belt land.
It not a ‘sustainable location’. It is a 30 - 60 minute walk to Leamington train station.
The public footpaths are used and enjoyed by thousands of local residents and visitors.
The area provides habitat for wildlife and plant species including deer, badgers, RSPB’s conservation ‘red list’ birds (such as skylarks, swifts, fieldfares, house sparrows and starlings) and
birds of prey.

Its 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.
The Local Plan puts sustainability at its heart, wanting new developments to be “20-minute neighbourhoods”, where local services, including train stations and bus routes, are within 10 minutes walk. SG06 is not a sustainable location. Its a 30 minute walk to Leamington train station from the closest point and one hour from the furthest.
Farmland in SG06 is high quality agricultural land and makes an important contribution to sustainability and security of food supply.
