Ymatebydd: Mrs Cheryl Reed-Davies

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

Lack of local infrastructure to support - water, drainage, flooding risk and power supply.

Increased transport - Birmingham Road is already busy with commuters heading to/from Warwick/Leamington & the rest of the West Midlands. When M40 is closed it is also the route for all heading from London/Oxford to the West Midlands and beyond. The current road system cannot sustain additional traffic.
Access Warwick/A46 from Hatton (via Stanks) at busy times is already a huge concern. This development will add to the large delays that local residents frequently face.

Environmental destruction and impact on our wildlife and their natural habitat.

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

I object for the following reasons:
Local Capacity and Infrastructure Concerns
- The Stanks Island junction is already experiencing unmanageable levels of congestion. Adding a large-scale employment development to this location will only worsen this issue, both during and after construction. Expansion of the roads in this area would need to happen to alleviate this, which would be costly and cause even more congestion.
- As with site B1, local transport is not enough as it currently stands. There would need to be a reinstatement of bus services to the area, even though Stagecoach has had to cut multiple services in recent years. Refurbishments to the local railway stations would also be needed. However, there are restrictions on space available for this, which means these refurbishments could not be completed to meet the requirements of the influx of people that would be using it.
Environmental Concerns
- This site borders on Blackbrake Plantation, which is classed as Ancient Woodland. These woodlands only make up 2.5% of this country and contain vital ecosystems that cannot be replicated elsewhere. I am concerned that the construction on and subsequent use of the area would irreparably damage this woodland. I do not believe there have been sufficient protections suggested so far, and due to the fragile nature of these ecosystems, I do not believe these protections could happen due to the large scale of the project.
- The site is entirely Green Belt. These areas were designated for five specific
purposes, and this site would be going against four of them:

Brownfield and other non-Green Belt sites must be prioritised before any Green Belt is used. I do not believe that the “exceptional circumstances” for Green Belt development have been met for this site, as there are no sustainability benefits to using this site.
In conclusion, my objections to the development of the SG07 site are the same as my objections for the proposed B1 site. There is currently not the infrastructure to support the site, and it will be hard to implement the needed improvements. It will also result in the permanent alteration and potential destruction of vital wildlife habitats and ecosystems. It takes away from what makes Warwick and Hatton Park so desirable.

Ymatebydd: Mr James Hunt

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

This will be an inappropriate development on Green Belt, joining Warwick to Hatton. It will represent an expansion of the Warwick/Leamington urban area beyond the A46. This will likely open the floodgates for further urban sprawl. If this site is used for residential development, it will be car dependent.

Ymatebydd: Campaign to Protect Rural England - Warwickshire

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

SG07 is open countryside which is immediately W of the A46 and in the Green Belt. It separates Hatton Park (now largely developed as housing) from Warwick and preserves the setting of the historic county town on its NW side.
It is being suggested for warehousing (B8 use class) without any basis for there being a need for that type of employment in the Warwick/Leamington area.
Wedgnock Park is former hunting park associated with Warwick Castle and has good rights of way - making it a valuable area for recreation for residents of the Capoe and Woodloes area of Warwick.

Ymatebydd: Kevin Mole

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

The allocation of SG07 fails to comply with national and local planning policy due to:
• Failure to prioritise urban brownfield land.
• Lack of clear, market-tested demand for additional employment land.
• Encroachment on the Green Belt without exceptional justification.
• Contributing to unsustainable ribbon development.
For these reasons, the allocation should be removed from the Local Plan, and the Council should focus on maximising the use of existing urban employment sites before considering Green Belt release.

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:


This proposal, along with B1 (Land at Hatton) will add a development roughly the size of Kenilworth to the west of Warwick. It will effectively merge with Warwick and thus the whole purpose of the greenbelt will be lost.

Ymatebydd: Miss Sue Harrison

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

I object to site B1 for the following reasons:

The reasons for designating Green Belt are as valid today as they were when it was designated. Chapter 13 of the NPPF attaches great importance to Green Belts. A new development, whether housing or employment, in the Green Belt would undermine the purpose of the Green Belt, harm its openness, its permanence and would erode the separation between Warwick and the West Midlands.

The Arden LCA is internationally-famous for its historical and cultural associations and is an intimate landscape with a strong sense of place. Arden has a special character which forms the primary ancient landscape in Warwickshire, and is distinguished from later planned countryside elsewhere in the county. The characteristic settlement pattern is a dispersed pattern of scattered farmsteads and hamlets, in contrast to the rest of Warwickshire. The Warwickshire Landscapes Guidelines (WLG) state that this should be maintained. The importance of the Arden LCA is reflected by SDC’s Special Landscape Areas Study identifying much of Arden as a Special Landscape Area. This designation should be incorporated into the new Local Plan. Understanding landscape character is fundamental to planning new development and should form the basis for selecting sites.

Ymatebydd: Mr Stuart Foreman

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

The proposed Wedgnock Park Farm development is disproportionate to the existing communities and would urbanise significant green belt land, connecting Hatton and Hatton Park with Warwick. This would increase HGV traffic on Birmingham Road, and Warwick Parkway is too far to be a viable transport option for most workers. The development would negatively affect both local and distant landscape views, altering the character of the area. Additionally, the project would replace public bridle paths with industrial routes, harm local ecology, and result in loss of valuable agricultural land. A more suitable site, less impactful on the landscape, should be considered.

The existing infrastructure is inadequate for the current traffic levels and there is no capacity for the sort of infrastructure which would be required. It is not realistic to expect a non-motorised infrastructure the bus services from hatton park were cancelled due to lack of use. The loss of agricultural land will also be devastating to the environment for local wildlife.

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

This site would join the urban spread of Warwick with Hatton Park and the proposed New Town at Hatton.

This contravenes the first four of the five purposes of the Green Belt.

The road infrastructure here is at full capacity, with significant development having already taken place in this area. The already incredible congestion and pollution around this small market town would become unsustainable.

Meanwhile the town centres of Warwick and Leamington are crying out for regeneration (purpose 5 of the Green Belt) - this is how we develop a 'Beautiful South Warwickshire' that 'Meets the needs of our Communities'.

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.

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.

Site SG07 is not an appropriate location for this type of development. It does not offer a genuine choice of transport modes for access - certainly not from the proposed new Hatton settlement!

Development here is unacceptable. There has already been substantial commercial and housing development by Longbridge. This is extending Warwick into Green Belt Land and cause permanent destruction of it. This will harm the environment surrounding Warwick and increase in vehicle movements create congestion and pollution. Frequencies of gridlock in Warwick itself will increase.

In summary I object due to loss of green belt land forever. We can never get this back. Loss of farmland and destruction of habitats for wildlife. The impact on the road network would be huge with considerable investment needed for junction improvements for the A4177, A46 and M40 necessary. Local residents would be adversely impacted for years with roadworks and then extra volumes of traffic on already congested roads.
