I am a concerned homeowner in Wellesbourne, strongly objecting to the proposed South Warwickshire Local Plan. I believe it will negatively impact our community and landscape, harming Wellesbourne's character. The plan replaces our green fields with urban sprawl, risking the tranquillity we cherish. Additionally, the potential for increased flooding due to inadequate infrastructure is alarming. The lack of rail connectivity will worsen congestion and pollution. Most importantly, losing our village identity, risking the community spirit and quality of life. I urge reconsideration of the plan to ensure sustainable growth.

I am a concerned homeowner in Wellesbourne, opposing the proposed South Warwickshire Local Plan. After 25 years in this village, I cherish its unique character and quality of life. The development would harm our picturesque landscape and increase flood risks. The severe flooding of 2007 proves that Wellesbourne is vulnerable. The lack of rail connectivity would heighten car reliance, worsening traffic and pollution. Additionally, losing valuable farmland threatens local agriculture. The plan neglects the need for expanded educational and health facilities. I urge the council to consider alternative development sites and necessary infrastructure improvements.

I acknowledge new housing is needed but the proposed Plan presents serious issues. SG15/SG16 threaten Wellesbourne's character and pose significant flood risks, increasing vulnerability in an area that has flooded before. Lack of rail connectivity will lead to greater reliance on cars, worsening traffic and air quality. The loss of farmland is detrimental to local agriculture and community. The scale of development risks transforming Wellesbourne into a town, undermining its unique spirit. The plan fails to address the need for educational and healthcare facilities. Please reconsider and balance growth with preservation of our environment, community, and quality of life.

As a concerned resident of Wellesbourne, I object to proposals SG15 & SG16 das they would harm our village and its landscape. The developments would damage our rural charm and increase flood risks. The area is already vulnerable. Additionally, the lack of rail connectivity would lead to more reliance on cars, exacerbating traffic and pollution issues. Losing vital farmland would negatively impact local agriculture and food security. The scale of development threatens our village identity, and there is no plan for additional schools or healthcare services. I urge the council to reconsider these proposals.

In the past 10 years previous local development plans have suggested the objectives for Wellesbourne, Lighthorne and Gaydon have been met. It has also previously been said that the floodplain around Wellesbourne Airfield and Charlecote should be protected.
The current proposals suggest any green space within Wellesbourne could be built over. This is unfair and undemocratic, especially considering the strain on local infrastructure like roads and healthcare. The potential construction traffic could worsen existing issues, particularly during market days. Local government must actively engage residents, providing detailed plans and meetings for community input to avoid perceptions of disregarding public opinion.

As a concerned homeowner in Wellesbourne, I object to the proposed South Warwickshire Local Plan due to its potential harm to our landscape, increased flood risk, and lack of rail connectivity. The development threatens to alter our village character and relies heavily on cars, worsening traffic and pollution. Additionally, it risks the loss of vital farmland and does not adequately address the need for educational and health facilities, which will be strained by population growth. I urge the council to reconsider the plan to ensure it balances growth with environmental and community preservation.

As a resident of Wellesbourne, I would like to register my objection to the current proposed future housing development plans on the ground that it would be over-development of an area where there is already not sufficient infrastructure for the existing housing let alone any further building. For example the primary school is already over-subscribed. We already have 25 years worth of new housing agreed in this area - enough is enough.

As a concerned homeowner in Wellesbourne, I object to the proposed South Warwickshire Local Plan due to its potential harm to our landscape, increased flood risk, inadequate public transport, loss of valuable farmland, and threat to our village status. The plan fails to address the need for educational and health facilities amidst anticipated population growth, risking further strain on these services. I believe these issues could lead to irreversible damage to our community and residents' well-being.

As a homeowner in Wellesbourne, I strongly object to the proposed South Warwickshire Local Plan strategic growth location SG15. Wellesbourne has already experienced significant development, leading to pressure on local infrastructure, particularly in our oversubscribed primary school. Increased housing will worsen traffic congestion and pollution, while harming the landscape's character. Additionally, the plan raises flood risk concerns and threatens vital farmland needed for local agriculture. The lack of public transport further exacerbates reliance on cars. I urge the council to reconsider the plan to better balance growth with the preservation of our community and quality of life.

I have several objections regarding the proposed housing developments. Firstly, I believe they will harm the environment by increasing pollution and noise levels. Additionally, traffic and parking issues will worsen, and Wellesbourne, which has already expanded significantly, lacks the necessary amenities for a town. Local schools are at capacity, and more houses will exacerbate traffic problems. There is also a significant flooding risk in certain areas, worsened by impermeable surfaces, and the existing SUDS scheme has been ineffective. Lastly, the development would take over valuable farmland, undermining our food self-sufficiency.

I believe the current proposal is inappropriate due to its disproportionate harm to Wellesbourne and the surrounding rural area. It will exacerbate traffic and pollution due to poor public transport. The replacement of farmland with hard surfaces increases flooding risks and negatively impacts local flora and fauna. Local sewage treatment is already insufficient, leading to significant discharge issues. Additionally, the loss of agricultural land affects local agriculture and national self-sufficiency. The increase in population will strain already stretched services. I urge you to consider these concerns and align developments with residents' wishes.

As a Wellesbourne resident, I am deeply concerned about the proposed development in our area, which lacks adequate infrastructure such as health care, dental, and educational facilities. Existing services are already overstretched, and additional housing will exacerbate this issue, making it impractical for many families. Furthermore, the development poses significant flood risks due to rising river levels and inadequate drainage. Additionally, building on farmland threatens local wildlife and ecology. I believe it is crucial to prioritise the preservation of our environment and ensure that existing residents have access to essential services before any further development occurs.

I am writing to express my deepest concern at the local plan covering future expansion around Wellesbourne.
The plan indicates considerable expansion beyond the existing village boundaries without any consideration for the expansion of facilities and amenities commensurate with a town, which surely Wellesbourne will become if any further expansion is permitted.
The existing amenities, including the medical centre, school and supporting infrastructure are at capacity now. Further development will tip the village into a soulless dormitory for surrounding towns without any consideration for improvements in transport infrastructure, adding to congestion and pollution.
If the plan were to include additional amenities befitting a town and Wellesbourne granted such status I would be minded to be more sympathetic towards the plan.

I am objecting to the proposed South Warwickshire Local Plan, as I believe it will harm Wellesbourne's character and landscape. The village has already faced significant overdevelopment, leading to traffic congestion, inadequate facilities, and increased flood risks. I am concerned about losing vital farmland and the impact on local agriculture. The lack of public transport and infrastructure cannot support further growth, and existing services are already strained. With many properties for sale nearby, there seems no need for additional housing. I urge the council to reconsider these plans for the community's wellbeing.

I am objecting to the proposed housing development in Wellsbourne, a village I recently moved to for its tranquillity and beautiful scenery. Coming from Solihull where there were issues with crime, I sought a safe environment for my child. The development threatens to transform our peaceful village into a replica of larger towns. I believe Warwickshire should maintain its reputation for beauty, and I strongly oppose these development plans.

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the proposed housing developments in Wellesbourne, which could bring thousands more cars and residents to an already overburdened village. I understand and accept all villages and townes need to be prepared for some additional housing developments. However, Wellesbourne has experienced significant growth, absorbing many new residents over the last 15 years. In short many of us feel Wellesourne has meet the housing requirement and should no longer be considered as an area for further development.
The existing infrastructure struggles with traffic congestion, noise, and health impacts. Additionally, local services are at capacity, and green spaces are at risk. The Dentist can not take on anymore clients. The recently built large Doctors is almost full to capacity. I urge a reconsideration of this plan.

I object to the SWLP for Wellesbourne due to increased traffic that will burden already overused roads, worsening emissions and environmental harm. The local school is full, leading to issues with nearby schools and parking. Local amenities like dentists and doctors are already at capacity. Flooding is a known issue, and future developments will impact prime agricultural land, contradicting government support for British farming. I am concerned about the loss of village character and the status of Wellesbourne Allotments, which have been incorrectly unprotected by the inspectorate. They must remain designated as Green space.

I object to the proposed Strategic Growth location SG15 in the South Warwickshire Local Plan, as they will harm Charlecote and its surroundings. The developments threaten the village's character, increase flood risks due to surface water runoff, and exacerbate traffic congestion due to the lack of rail connectivity. The loss of vital farmland and the potential transformation of Wellesbourne into a town would strip it of its community identity. Additionally, there is no plan to enhance local schools or healthcare services, which are already under strain. I urge the council to reconsider these plans.

Wates Developments support the inclusion of Strategic Growth Option SG15 in the SWLP, believing it is suitable for various uses. Wates Developments is promoting land at Coppington Farm, located centrally within SG15, for employment-led development to enhance the Innovation Campus. This development would create additional job opportunities in a Key Spatial Growth Priority Area. A Vision Document (Appendix 2) outlines potential employment development on the site. Wates Development believe that SG15 can sustainably expand Wellesbourne and facilitate vital infrastructure improvements. Engagement with the University of Warwick and landowners will continue during the SWLP preparation process.

I object to the plans for area SG15 of the SWLP due to Wellesbourne's already reached housing capacity and inadequate infrastructure. Our school cannot accommodate more students, and local healthcare facilities are overwhelmed. The roads are congested and poorly maintained, with increased flood risks and potential loss of village character. The proposed housing development would lead to severe traffic issues and environmental damage. I demand infrastructure upgrades, including roads, schools, and healthcare facilities, before any construction begins. The plans seem thoughtless and excessive for a village setting.

I have looked very carefully at this proposal for the building of new houses in the above two area
I would like to object to the scheme on the following bases:
1.New residents will require doctors and National Health dentists, both of which in Wellesbourne are stretched to the limit.
2. The Junior school in Wellesbourne is full
3. Traffic on the Wellesbourne Road is going to be horrendous unless major work is carried out. We already have the threat of a quarry nearer Barford, and the University of Warwick Innovation Campus is set to increase as well, adding more cars.
4. Loss of yet more first class farming land. Let's grow more food and become more self-sufficient!
I sincerely hope these developments do not become part of the future housing development plans.

I am writing to object to the proposed planning for more housing in wellsbourne and surrounding areas on attached map for the following reasons
1) Huge impact on wildlife biodiversity and habitat loss
2) We already have 25 years worth of housing agreed in South Warwickshire district plus land loss due to solar farms.
3) The developments do not have access to range of options with transport such as local train stations.
4) local roads could not cope with the additional traffic, already struggling with current traffic
5) There are historic Ridge and Farrow Fields within the proposed site.
6) The historic villages are to be swallowed up, totally not in keeping with the current area.
7) It would create excessive light pollution effecting the nocturnal wildlife of the area.

I strongly object to the proposed South Warwickshire Local Plan due to its lasting harm to Wellesbourne and its surroundings.
• Excessive development – Wellesbourne has already seen significant expansion in recent years. Further large-scale growth would overwhelm the village.
• Loss of rural character – The proposed development would permanently damage the village’s charm and open countryside.
• Increased flood risk – Further construction would worsen surface water runoff, increasing the risk to homes.
• Traffic and pollution – With no rail links, residents will rely on cars, worsening congestion, emissions, and air pollution, further exacerbated by quarry activity.
• Destruction of farmland – The loss of high-quality agricultural land threatens food security and the local economy.
• Strain on services – There are no clear plans for additional schools or healthcare, putting unsustainable pressure on existing services.
• Loss of village identity – Expanding Wellesbourne further risks turning it into a town, eroding its character and community spirit.

The proposed developments would significantly damage the surrounding beauty of the village, with its amazing nature and wildlife which we are all so fond about. This is ruining thousands of animals habitats. The area is well known for its farming and agricultural work which sets back hundreds of years, this is just not acceptable for it to be taken away.
Traffic congestion is another big issue, there is no rail connectivity, a lack of public transport and this means people are forced to use cars as there is certainly a lack of jobs local to the villages, meaning people have to commute. This brings in extra pollution and will cause more accidents statistically.
We also have major issues with large goods vehicles due to the industrial estates built within the village. The village is simply too small to cope with such large vehicles.
Wellesbourne has been known to be at risk of flooding for a long time now, extra settlements will not be able to cope with this and put more residents at risk.
The scale of development threatens Wellesbourne’s village status. Increasing the population is likely to bring further issues such as an increase in crime, pollution and congestion.
There is also no clear plan to provide additional schools or healthcare services.
If approved, these developments will cause irreversible harm to the local area and the wellbeing of residents.
