While these are not considered as a new settlement, the potential agglomeration size means that they may function in a similar way. With no fast connectivity such as rail, and with buses providing the only viable public transport to Stratford-upon-Avon, the effects on traffic in the town and approaches would be untenable. TTG do not support these locations without a proper traffic assessment and planned infrastructure improvements in advance of development.

I have concerns about the traffic and infrastructure issues in Wellesbourne, particularly with the proposed construction of thousands of new homes. Currently, parking and traffic congestion are significant problems, exacerbated by delivery vehicles and market days. If 5,000 new homes are built, it could lead to 40,000 additional vehicles, creating gridlock. Furthermore, I question how utilities and services can be expanded when existing providers struggle. There seems to be little consideration for sustainable energy solutions, like solar power. Additionally, there are conflicting plans regarding the future use of Wellesbourne Airfield, leaving the local community without constructive answers.

I oppose any further development in and around Wellesbourne, Charlote and Barford, particularly in Wellesbourne, for several reasons. Stratford DC is already exceeding its housing targets, and additional development would harm the rural character of the area and the environment. Transport links are overstretched, with busy roads and inadequate traffic management, especially during school times. Furthermore, Wellesbourne lacks sufficient facilities for residents, with an oversubscribed primary school and a medical centre that cannot accommodate a population increase. It is irresponsible to allow more housing without improving essential services.

As a resident of Wellesbourne I am concerned that any new development will only come in the form of new houses and new industrial sites or warehouses. There is already a lack of educational and health facilities in Wellesbourne, with Primary School, GP and Dentist practice being oversubscribed. The roads connecting Wellesbourne with the M40 are already heavily congested and there seems to be no proposed infrastructures improvement in the plan. I am also concerned about the irreversible damage to the natural habitat and threat to local wildlife.

Doctors, dentist and school are already over subscribed. It’s ludicrous to even consider adding more houses to our village. Where does the wildlife go? What about drainage? Road usage? Keep the beautiful scenery rather than making it a concrete jungle like so many other places in this country.

I wish to object to the proposed developments around our villages. I live in Kineton but have strong links to Tanworth-in-Arden and Wellesbourne. While I've seen new housing benefit local shops and communities, these developments would transform our villages into towns without the necessary services. The increased traffic, especially in Kineton, would create significant issues at narrow junctions. Additionally, the Labour Party's manifesto promised housing on brownfield sites, yet these proposals target green fields, which would permanently damage the natural environment. I urge a reconsideration of land around existing towns for housing, as South Warwickshire's villages should remain distinct.

I think some of the areas close to Wellesbourne would be suitable using the airfield which is a brown field site, the area does have the infrastructure to cope with more development, but I do not agree with all this area especially in close proximity to the National Trust House, Charlecote hall. to over develop this area would ruin the pleasure and aspect of this area forever.

I object strongly to the proposed housing development in Strategic Growth Area SG15 and surrounding sites near Wellesbourne. I believe these plans are disproportionate and detrimental to the community, infrastructure, and character of the area. Key issues include inadequate education and healthcare services, transport challenges, and the risk of overdevelopment harming Wellesbourne's identity and environment. The consultation process is complex and lacks transparency. I urge the council to reconsider these proposals and adopt a more sustainable approach that prioritises infrastructure and community needs. I look forward to your response.

SG15 is rural, agricultural land, it's landscape is typical of South Warwickshire and should be protected from development. The cumulative effect of other development at SG16, the Wellesbourne Airfield, Wasperton Gravel pits. X1, the established solar site at Elms Farm Newbold Pacey and further proposed solar sites around Ashorne and Newbold Pacey turn the corridor created by the A422 and B4087 into urban/industrial swathe. This would link Wellesbourne to Warwick Leamington on the line of the M40. Contrary to the plans criteria and guidelines. The roads particularly in Wellesbourne and the B4087 are not adequate to support this development.

What is happening to 'The Forest of Arden' and 'Leafy Warwickshire'?
This sort of mass house building in rural Warwickshire is beyond any joke, it is making of small village communities into parts of NEW townships, So they lose ALL identity of their existing community spirit and life.
If SG15 were to go ahead this would finish up the linking up of the townships of Warwick, Leamington & Whitnash with the now large village Wellesbourne. This can not be right!
If this were allowed to go ahead, problems for our existing roads, wildlife, Doctors surgeries.
Please reconsider these consultation areas.

SG15 is open agricultural land which is currently being farmed. it is representative of the countryside of South Warwickshire and should not be developed. The cumulative effect of SG15, SG16, X1, The Wellesbourne Airfield, Warwick University site, Wasperton Gravel Pits application and existing and proposed Solar Installations effectively joins Wellesbourne to Warwick/Leamington in one swathe of development. The A422 may just handle the associated trafic but Wellesbourne has numerous pinch points and the B4387 is notoriously dangerous, two HGV's cannot pass in the Conservation village of Newbold Pacey.
This would be classic overdevelopment of a rural environment.

SG15 and SG16 would more than double the size of Wellesbourne and threaten village status. Most people from Wellesbourne must drive to work and to access other facilities - the A429 is already extremely busy - sustainability? What about capacity of schools, health services, sewage etc. The proposed sites sit in open countryside, with implications for archaeological sites and the historical landscape around Charlecote. A range of wild species use the land north of Wellesbourne; bats, great-crested newt, grass snake, hedgehog, brown hare and a diversity of bird species including red-listed corn bunting. There are several Local Wildlife Sites nearby.

Development of SGs 15 and 16 around Wellesbourne, and/or SGs 9,10 and 11 to the South of Warwick would greatly increase traffic along the A249. Wasperton is an example of a small village whose viability depends entirely on a single access to and from the A249.
The attached document contains evidence that this access is already compromised at certain times, and this is expected to become worse if the proposed quarry is progressed. It is vital to consider the accumulating effect of the proposed developments on the viability of this and other villages.

puts too much stress on local infrastructure, especially roads, most secondary pupils around these areas have to travel to school by bus or private cars thus putting more strain on the road network, public transport is virtually non-existent . Also local healthcare services will be overloaded, they are near enough at full capacity now. Schools both primary and secondary will be crammed full creating a worse learning environment for future generations.

I strongly object to the proposed South Warwickshire Local Plan because:
Proposed developments would significantly damage the character and beauty of our landscape.
Flood risk is another major concern, with flooding already an issue in the village
Lack of rail connectivity means residents would be forced to rely on cars, worsening traffic congestion and pollution. this is already a problem.
The scale of development threatens Wellesbourne’s village status.
No clear plan to provide additional schools or healthcare services, already full or stretched.
Developments will cause irreversible harm to the local area and the wellbeing of residents.
