SG15 north Wellesbourne
There will be significant harm to the rural character of the landscape.
There is a lack of rail connections ie travel to Coventry or Birmingham International for the main line.
Education - local school is full and village children have to travel further afield - this making parents take them and causing further pollution in the atmosphere.
Housing - new houses are still empty some after 18 months - need starter homes for the young people to keep the village alive no more large executive homes required.
medical - doctor and dentist lists are full - need to travel out of village to obtain treatment. This will cause further pollution in the atmosphere.

Disproportionate expansion - the combined area of proposed sites SG15 and SG16 is 655 hectares. This dwarfs the present developed area of Wellesbourne, approximately 235 hectares (obtained from Google Earth maps), and would increase the total area including Wellesbourne by 3.8-fold. This huge sprawling urbanisation of Wellesbourne would totally alter the local character of our rural village.

Infrastructure - local schools are at capacity; sewage system is inadequate; traffic congestion in and around Wellesbourne is a major concern; risk of flooding in and around Wellesbourne is an ongoing concern.

Agricultural land – high quality land would be lost at a time when food security is an important national priority.

Allotments – The SW Local Plan inaccurately includes Wellesbourne allotments in area SG16 although the site has been moved off the Reserved Housing list and has been designated as OpenSpace/Biodiversity/Green Infrastructure.

1. Too much traffic already and no infrastructure to support further housing developments. The development of the University of Warwick Innovation campus, its impact on the A429 along with the proposed gravel extraction site at Wasperton and Barford would themselves increase the volume of traffic to a dangerous and non-acceptable level. Any further housing developments would compound this.

2. Lack of trains and infrequent buses
There is a lack of rail connectivity and buses are infrequent, which exacerbates the traffic issue as people need to drive their cars instead.

3. Not enough amenities - Lack of educational and health facilities. Classes are often already full before booking at The Wellesbourne Sports and Community Centre - there are not enough spaces to accommodate an increase in village population.

4. Wellesbourne is a village and not a town
More development would grossly affect the village status of Wellesbourne. This village status needs protecting. The amount of new housing proposed is disproportionately large compared to the current size of Wellesbourne village.

5. Permanent harm to landscape, farmland and wildlife
Further development detrimentally and permanently impacts the landscape, destroys farmland, putting wildlife at risk. It is unacceptable for huge swathes of countryside to be swallowed up by large-scale developments.

6. Significant increased risk of flooding
More housing significantly increases the risk of flooding, which is already a serious issue as properties in Wellesbourne near the river Dene have flooded in the past.

Wellesbourne has accommodated considerable housing development in the past few years without the benefit of improved services and infrastructure. The school, dental and health facilities will not cope with further housing developments.
There is regular flooding across Newbold Road which is unlikely to improve if further housing is built north of the village.
The sewage works is regularly unable to cope at present so more housing will further damage the environment. Traffic is often very heavy at certain times of the day and also often comes to standstill at Bank Holidays.
Yes, we do need more affordable housing but the public transport service is hardly up to getting people to work in Warwick, Leamington, Coventry or Strafford on Avon at the moment.
Before any further housing is considered the infrastructure must be put in place. There appears to be no reference to this in the Local Plan.
The loss of prime agricultural land is also a concern when we should not be relying on the rest of the world for much of our food.

1) The plan threatens to overwhelm our village with excessive unstainable development that will destroy the character, place a huge strain on vital services and put our planet and environment at risk. We already have 25 years’ worth of housing approved.

2) The proposed developments would significantly damage the character and beauty of our wonderful landscape which would be permanently altered by such large scale construction erasing the picturesque scenery that defines our community. Our village status would be permanently affected and Wellesbourne does not want to become a town!

3) Flood risk - what a major cause of concern especially with our changing climate. Wellesbourne is an already vulnerable area and further development would result in increase surface water runoff, this in turn increases the risk of flooding for existing and future residents.

4) Wellesbourne has no rail connectivity and residents would be forced to rely on cars resulting in yet more travel chaos. The chaos with the market has yet to be resolved!!!! Not only would this increase the pollution but with the increased vehicle movements combined with the quarry activity (hopefully not approved) the quality of the environment would decrease and a real harm to the environment.

5) Doctors are full, Dentist are full and the school over subscribed. There is no clear plan to provide additional healthcare or school which will only result in greater strain being placed on them. Residents health would be at risk and children’s education will be severely affected.

6) Wildlife and natural habitats would become extinct. Our planet need these to help improve the quality and wildlife need a home.

7) Farmland - we will lose our best and most versatile farmland and this is totally unacceptable. The land is vital for local agriculture and food production. Its loss would have long term consequences for both the economy and food security. This risks us becoming an unsustainable area.

I am writing as a concerned homeowner in Wellesbourne to express my objections to the proposed South Warwickshire Local Plan. While I understand the need for development, I believe the current plan poses several significant issues that must be addressed.

Firstly, the proposed development would cause substantial harm to the character of our landscape. Wellesbourne is known for its picturesque scenery, and the scale of the planned construction would irreversibly alter this cherished environment.

Additionally, the plan raises serious concerns about flood risk. The proposed developments would significantly increase the risk of flooding in our area, which is already vulnerable. This poses a threat to both property and safety for current and future residents.

The lack of rail connectivity is another critical issue. Without adequate public transportation options, residents will be heavily reliant on cars, exacerbating traffic congestion and pollution. This is particularly concerning given the anticipated increase in vehicle movements and quarry activity, which will further degrade air quality and contribute to environmental pollution.

Moreover, the loss of the best and most versatile farmland is a grave concern. This land is crucial for local agriculture and food production, and its conversion to development land would be a significant loss to our community and economy.
The overdevelopment of Wellesbourne threatens its village status. The scale of the proposed development is disproportionate and risks transforming our village into a town, undermining its unique character and community spirit.

Furthermore, the current plan does not adequately address the need for educational and health facilities. With the expected population increase, there will be a greater demand for schools and healthcare services, which are already under strain. The plan must include provisions to expand these essential services to meet future needs.
Many of these concerns will cause irreversible damage to the locality and health and happiness of residents (old and new).

In conclusion, I urge the council to reconsider the South Warwickshire Local Plan in light of these objections. It is crucial to develop a plan that balances growth with the preservation of our environment, community, and quality of life.

The scale of these developments would have a lasting and detrimental impact on our village and its surroundings.

The proposed construction would significantly alter the character of Wellesbourne, permanently changing its rural landscape.

Flooding is another pressing issue. Wellesbourne is already at risk, and further development would only worsen surface water runoff, increasing the likelihood of flooding for both current and future residents.

With no rail links, residents are heavily dependent on cars. Increased housing would lead to more traffic congestion and pollution, further compounded by quarry activity, which would degrade air quality and harm the local environment.

The loss of high-quality farmland is unacceptable.

Expanding Wellesbourne on such a scale would threaten its identity as a village.

Additionally, there is no clear plan to address the strain on essential services such as schools and healthcare. These are already under pressure, and a significant increase in housing would only exacerbate the issue.

If these proposals go ahead, the damage to the local area and residents’ quality of life will be irreversible.

Such developments would urbanise these areas, resulting in significant harm to the general character of the landscapes, and have an overall detrimental effect. Wellesbourne has expanded considerably over recent years, without infrastructure to meet the demand on all services in the village. Medical services, dentists and educational facilities are heavily subscribed, and there is an existing and increasing traffic and parking problem in Wellesbourne. This is all too apparent near the school in Mountford Close, where there is no effective traffic management, drivers regularly ignore road markings, park on footways, resort to driving along footways when meeting head on vehicles travelling in the opposite direction, plus use any resident's drive as a turning point. Also, a driver travelling in the opposite direction to the main stream of traffic, opting to reverse back down Mountford Close towards the main school gate/road junction amongst parked and moving traffic ,food waste bins, parents and children making their way to the main school gate. The Newbold Road in Wellesbourne is also often clogged with parked and moving traffic. To introduce more through traffic to Wellesbourne would create even greater congestion, and is untenable.

Should these plans proceed through the planning stage in their current form it is clear that this would give rise to the effective townification of Wellesbourne destroying green spaces, displacing wildlife, significantly increasing the flood risk and overwhelming our roads, school and healthcare.

Firstly, the proposed development would cause substantial harm to the character of our landscape. Wellesbourne is known for its picturesque scenery, and the scale of the planned construction would irreversibly alter this cherished environment.

Additionally, the plan raises serious concerns about flood risk. The proposed developments would significantly increase the risk of flooding from surface run-off in our area from the River Dene and the Newbold Brook, both of which are already vulnerable. In addition, the increased flood risk from further development and climate change will also give rise to increased sewage discharge into our river. The current levels of "approved" discharge are already at an unacceptable level and further discharge will result in lasting damage to the river ecosystem.

The lack of rail connectivity is another critical issue. Without adequate public transportation options, residents will be heavily reliant on cars, exacerbating traffic congestion and pollution. This is particularly concerning given the anticipated increase in vehicle movements and quarry activity, which will further degrade air quality and contribute to environmental pollution.

Moreover, the loss of the best and most versatile farmland is a grave concern. This land is crucial for local agriculture and food production, and its conversion to development land would be a significant loss to our community and economy. This all taking place at a time of concerns around national food security and the survival of farming communities.

The overdevelopment of Wellesbourne threatens its village status. The scale of the proposed development is disproportionate and risks transforming our village into a town, undermining its unique character and community spirit.
Furthermore, the current plan does not adequately address the need for educational and health facilities. With the expected population increase, there will be a greater demand for schools and healthcare services, which are already under immense strain.

Existing infrastructure is not suitable to support further large-scale housing developments. Primary schools, dentists, and GP services are oversubscribed. There is no bus or rail station and no secondary school or police station and the fire station is unmanned. The recycling centre has limited hours and capacity. Bus services are limited for the size of the village. There has been substantial housing development in the past 10 years without sufficient facilities and this leads to more car trips, congestion and pollution. Extending the village further would mean that there will be onerous walking distances to key amenities and so even more car trips. Infill sites in the centre of the village are more practical opportunities to achieve some modest growth. As Wellesbourne has already provided a substantial contribution to the District's housing needs, further housing should be accommodated elsewhere within the District.

I am writing to object to the proposed over development of South Warwickshire, but in particular Wellesbourne ,SG15 and 16.
Although I am no longer resident in Wellesbourne I lived there for well over 30 years and still have strong family ties in the village. I am in the village several times a week.
I have witnessed the over development of land for housing without investment in services and amenities or proper regard for the local environment.
My main objections are as follows

Flood risk. Wellesbourne is already at risk of flooding in several areas of the village. Despite work being done along the river Dene this continues to be a significant problem. Additional housing will only increase this. Indeed some of the proposed areas for development sitting within the known flood plain.

Local Services unable to cope with further development. The primary school is already over subscribed with both Hampton Lucy and Loxley schools in neighbouring villages also full and Loxley under threat of closure.
It is not suitable for young children to be travelling miles to school, particularly when this is adding more traffic to the already congested local roads.
Further increase in population will also put further strain on the GP surgery and dentist.

Transport links and public transport. Wellesbourne has poor transport links which is continually being reduced. The roads are already congested and are not built for high volumes of traffic. Yet more homes will mean more people using cars for work, increasing the environmental pollution. The proposed quarry in Barford is already a concern for the increase in lorrys.

The loss of prime farm land and open space for pleasure and nature. Wellesbourne has some prime farming land surrounding it, this should not be lost to housing when there are clearly brown field sites available and more suitable for development nearer Coventry and Birmingham. The biodiversity of the surrounding fields and open land is, as previous biodiversity studies shown home to a large range of animal and plant life. Further development will have a negative impact on this. So the local plan will be acting against the known need to protect the already shrinking habitats for wildlife.

Wellesbourne and the surrounding villages and Stratford and Warwick have no need for extensive building to accommodate the local population, with the exception of affordable first homes for young local people wanting to get on the property ladder. My understanding is that statistics show that in actual fact the need is reducing as we have a situation where more people are dying than being born so the population is going down.
The locally available opportunities for employment are not enough to support more people coming to the area.

Wellesbourne is already sprawling outwards from the village centre. It already has both a senior living complex for older residents and social housing accommodating young families which are not an easy walk into the village centre for most of the amenities. These are the most likely to have access to a car and are therefore dependent on lifts or walking. For some young mums it is a 40 minute walk to the school, not much fun for a three, four or five year old, particularly in bad weather. Is that building homes that enhance peoples lives and well being? That is what the local plan boasts.

Thank you for considering these objections in determining where and how much future housing will be allocated in SG15 and SG16.

The increase in traffic increased traffic will over burden the already over used road that have already been impacted by the current developments in the village and surrounding area. This increases emissions and is harmful for the environment .
There are no major employees in the village therefor addition traffic especially at peak its as parole commuters to work .
Local school its already full this means additional burden on outlying schools again increasing traffic flows and additional parking issues in the local vicinity . This is already a problem

Local amenities are already at capacity Dentists, already full.
Local amenities are already at capacity Doctors, already under pressure

The village floods as is a know issue despite the best efforts to try flood alleviation measure , the village even has a flood action group.

Any future development will impact prime agricultural land and is against the governments aims of supporting and promoting british farming .

The village will loose village character.

Wellesbourne already has 25 years worth of housing agreed in south Warwickshire district. Well over the 5yr task it was set .


The Allotments have been in Wellesbourne for over 187 years . In the previous Local Plan submission the protection it was given if adopted was REMOVED INCORRECTLY by the independent inspectorate. This was a grave error on their part as agreed by our local MP. The inspectorate assumption incorrectly stated Allotments are covered by legislation and removed the protection from the plan . This removed any protection the adopted plan would have given the Allotments .
The error and incorrect assumption made was that all allotments are covered by legislation. This is a totally incorrect assumption this is dependant on ownership. Eg Council owned allotments are covered by legislation however those with private landlords like ours are not covered and have no legal protection under the Allotment's Act etc .

Wellesbourne Allotments been Allotments since 1838. The Allotments have a private Landlord the Church or England the rent paid to Diocese of Coventry Board of Finance and therefor in law they are not covered by legislation .

This has subsequently been raised and highlighted with the local Parish and Country Councillor and Local MP who all agree it was an error and unanimously support the retention off Wellesbourne Allotments as vital Green Space. They also have the status of Asset of Community Value .

In the latest Plan submission that has been submitted for consideration highlighted that Wellesbourne Allotments are designated as Green space and must remain so.

I am writing to object to the housing plan proposal for additional housing in Wellesbourne and the surrounding areas.

I strongly oppose due to the 25 years worth of housing which has already been agreed. It will rapidly spoil and ruin our countryside and farmland which I see as a valuable asset to the UK. Housing increases should be put in where there will be no loss to this land before our green spaces are depleted and land for farming is diminished.

Not only will this have a negative impact on Wildlife to their habitat and on the historic ambiance of our villages, logistically it will also have a negative impact.

There is not a supportive infrastructure on the roads or public transport to support the additional residents that will be with the proposed housing. The village roads are already seeing increased traffic flow which the small roads have not been built to withstand, making this a danger to other road users and pedestrians including many school children.

Please therefore review your plan and propose residential buildings are increased elsewhere such as disused office/warehouse space or building up in our towns.

Already there is planned development on the University campus north of Wellesbourne, which will affect the A429 main trunk road; the road was recently blocked in both directions for miles preventing access by emergency services. The current volume of daily traffic is substantial.
Further development will severely and negatively impact the neighbouring communities. The local primary school is at or above capacity, and there is limited and often unreliable public transport. There is no additional capacity on roads.
This winter adversely affected hospital provision for the current populace.
Good graded agricultural land once developed will be lost, with the consequent risk to food production and food security. The low lying land can be subject to flooding.
Water supply and discharge are hugely concerning. Already the taste of drinking water is sometimes affected, and water treatment works are often overwhelmed, damaging water courses.

A history of piecemeal housing development since the latter part of the last century has led to Wellesbourne village becoming a size that compares with several of the towns in the district without the range of infrastructure for residents found in towns.This has necessitated a dependence on car use to travel outside the village. The village has become primarily a residential sprawl. Any new housing should develop the recommendation of the current Neighbourhood Plan by not allowing any new housing south of the river Dene where the sprawl is most evident.

The current Neighbourhood Plan identified two sites that met with the approval of residents - east of Kineton Road and west of Daniel road. They could accommodate a significant number of houses after 2030/31 when the plan's term is complete and could be Wellesbourne's contribution to the new national housing initiative.

One of the worse areas is the traffic is now very heavy and our village has not got the roads to accommodate this. It is getting more and more dangerous. There are huge number of lorries coming through the village. On certain days the traffic is at a complete standstill for hours. Many roads are blocked and villagers can't get in and out of the villagers. People have missed hospital appointment and ambulances struggle to get through.

Wellesbourne is already large enough, with sprawling new housing estates and not much more. When my daughter started school two years ago we were unable to get my child into the local school because it was over subscribed even at that point.

The area is busy with HGV traffic and commuter traffic. More houses will simply add to the already heavy traffic in the area, specifically along the A429.

But, it is not just traffic concerns, it is that more houses will simply ruin the rural nature of the area, which is why we love living here. I despair at the thought of the area becoming urban sprawl and an extension of Warwick.
