SG22 - Major concerns are traffic through Studley, Middletown and Sambourne. Traffic is already a major concern within these areas.
Schools and doctors are saturated with waiting lists. The hospital is sending a lot of patients to Warwick and Worcester and can not cope, other hospitals are also extremely busy.
The 120 acre site that is proposed is good agricultural land and is environmentally friendly saving on emissions where machinery doesn't have to turn as often as it would in smaller fields.
Middletown lane which borders the field directly floods as it is, a development will increase this.

The development of the West of Studley site SG22 into housing would significantly and negatively affect the surrounding areas. It currently has relatively poor connectivity to the principle sites for health, employment, education, and no opportunity for sustainable transport to be provided to the site.
There are no significant local employers in the area, and therefore potential residents on this site would primarily commute to remote areas, increasing already present road traffic congestion.
The site is a arable field with regularly used footpaths, and is an important region in the green belt to prevent further urbanisation and uncontrolled growth.

SG22 is perfect for development as:
1) There is an acute shortage of housing in Studley.
2) SG22 is grey belt land separate from Sambourne and Redditch. Development would not undermine green belt.
3) The land is unproductive and would not result in significant agricultural loss. No food crops have been grown for many years.
4) Amenities, e.g. education, have significant capacity and would NOT be overwhelmed (data above). There are plentiful other amenities/leisure facilities.
5) Transport links are good, with excellent public transport links
6) Low unemployment with many employment opportunities locally, and public transport links enable wider commuting.

Housing development on Site SG22 West Of Studley would significantly affect the surrounding villages, absorb Middletown into Studley, and would place increased strain on the already stretched facilities in Studley and Alcester.
Transport infrastructure to/from the area is already inadequate, and options to improve would be expensive to implement, and not be carbon neutral.
There are flooding issues that would be exacerbated by development of the site, and it would result in increased light pollution to the surrounding areas.
Utilities to the area (power/water etc.) are already also stretched and prone to interruptions.

SG22 would be ideal for a development as it would mean much-needed additional housing would be available, the site is close to schools, hospitals, shops and other services as well as lots of other amenities and leisure facilities. The site is well connected by road, rail and even air and public transport is good. People moving to SG22 would also have good employment opportunities in the local area, and a greater population in Studley would be a massive boost to the local economy, helping to offset the current aging demographic of the village.

I am against the proposed planning application for Studley, into Middletown for multiple reasons:
Destruction of prime arable land.
No additional resources for the local area where the local school and nurseries are already over subscribed.
No additional medical/GP facilities in an area which is already oversubscribed.
No additional road networks where the inevitable increase in traffic will have to go through protected village greens of Sambourne.
Environmental impact of the sewage plant, which already discharges into the local river basin.
Over 4000+ houses available in the local area, so no requirement for these properties.

The Councils wish to make specific representations regarding the potential inclusion of this land as a Preferred Strategic Growth Location in the draft SWLP. This does not imply support for other policies or allocations in the Plan. The government's move to review Green Belt restrictions is acknowledged, yet the modest amount of 'Grey Belt' land in South Warwickshire is unlikely to make a large contribution to housing targets. The SG22 proposal would transform the rural hamlet of Middletown into an urban area, impacting local identity and resources. Additionally, issues related to education, health, transportation, and agricultural value highlight the unsuitability of this site for development.

As a resident of Studley this proposal is unacceptable due to an increase in traffic, no provision for extra GP services or schools, loss of green space, inadequate public transport, the bypass proposal was rejected so Studley already has an immense volume of commuter traffic

1.SG22 IS NOT GREY BELT. SAFEGUARDING THE COUNTRYSIDE FROM ENCROACHMENT is one of the five main purposes of the greenbelt
2.The land is known as the "100 acre field" ideal for cultivating and cropping. To achieve the UK's targets to NET 0 we need fields such as SG22
3. Unrealistic projection of 1046 - more likely 1500-1800
4. Would lead to infilling of local villages to Redditch sprawl
5. Major impact on an area of high landscape value
6.Schools are oversubscribed
7. population increase by 40+%
8. A448 is overloaded, extremely dangerous road

Objections for SG22 are:
1. Not "grey belt" as it for fills a valuable function in preventing urban sprawl. Developing this land would lead to potential infilling of local villages and hamlets joining to the large town of Redditch.
2. Valuable fertile agricultural land
3. A major impact to high landscape value.
4. 40% population increase to studley
5. The A448 is not capable of being improved to with stain the increase in traffic
6. Local schools oversubscribed already
7. Insufficient GPs, NHS dentists and downgraded hospital
8. Accessibility, no facilities are in reasonable, safe walking distrance

I travel daily from Arrow through Studley to visit clients and I cant believe they are proposing more housing in Studley. The traffic at the moment is bad as it can get, i can spend 20 minutes going from one side of Studley to the next on a morning, the roads are not capable of taking the current traffic without upgrades. Im not agaist house building but without serious road upgrades you cant build anything more in Studley. The develop would be best the other side towards Redditch where roads can be upgraded.

* Erosion of Green Belt will cause merging of communities.
* Visually harmful to the landscape characteristics. The prominence of the location of SG22 would dominate the landscape.
* Limited local employment opportunities, so more car journeys will be inevitable.
* No close public transport, so increased traffic on already congested roads. Long tail-backs on A448 already.
* More rat-running on already busy narrow lanes, mostly with no footway. Residents and visitors use the lanes for leisure walking.
* Local schools already over-subscribed.
* GP services over-stretched.
* Loss of valuable, productive farmland.

-The site reduces the critical area of GB between Redditch and Stratford.
-It would destroy the GB separation and the open aspect between Studley, Middletown and Sambourne so losing their individual identities.
-The A448 has acted as a development boundary to date. This plan would create the danger of even further expansion into the GB area south of the road.
-The road infrastructure - the A448 and particularly the local roads to the south - are totally inadequate to support the development site.
I support the representations in the submission from Sambourne and Studley PCs in relation to this proposal.

It comprises an area of prominent agricultural land.
It would be transformed from a rural to an urban community.
The energy, sewage and surface water disposal infrastructures would need to be modified
The additional housing could exacerbate the situation to a critical threat of flooding. Site SG22 has no streams or rivers.
The lanes through Sambourne parish are narrow and significant damage to road edges and verges has been caused by the current volume of traffic.

I object to the proposed development on land SG22 in Studley for several reasons. It would harm the green belt separating Sambourne and Studley, negatively impact local wildlife, and increase traffic on already busy B roads, posing safety risks. The A448 would experience further congestion, especially at busy junctions, affecting children’s routes to school. The loss of agricultural land would compromise local food production and increase pollution levels. Additionally, local services would struggle to cope with the increased population. Any development should consider the broader community impact, including infrastructure and wildlife protection.

This rural area has absolutely no infrastructure to support the number of houses potentially being built. With only one secondary school full, one small GP surgery and few other shops and facilities in the village of Studley. Greenbelt land should never be taken up when there are areas more suitably located, in need of regeneration. I hope common sense will prevail and this area withdrawn for potential development.

There are plenty of brown field areas that could be used for development, so why not consider these. We don’t want our beautiful village being spoilt by extra houses & an increase in traffic. There are no facilities in place here & it’s not wanted. Don’t turn this area into a sprawling mess.

William Davis Limited support growth in Studley given its role as a Main Rural Centre and its alignment with the Spatial Growth Strategy. However, object to the omission of land east of Studley being considered as part of the Studley SGL, including Land at Holt Farm.
It is not clear from the evidence how SG22 has been selected instead of, or without inclusion of, Land at Holt Farm, with specific reference to the Green Belt Review Stage 1 and HELAA B.
William Davis Limited therefore requests that Land at Holt Farm be allocated in the SWLP for circa 255 dwellings.

We have high objections with this land being used for so much housing due to there being no infrastructure in Sambourne and surrounding area ie no roads to cope with increased vehicles; no schools; not enough doctors; no NHS dentists and more issues. There is also regular flooding due to a high water table in this area. Proposed building will massively increase this.
It is also of high concern that the present wild life (which there is a lot of - with regular sightings) would be highly endangered from this building work.
At present there is very poor public transport.

I strongly disagree because it is NOT GREY BELT LAND, AND:
1. It is valuable Green belt because it protects the countryside and urban sprawl between the villages
2. SG22 is valuable agricultural land vital to the country's future
3. It would have a major impact on the local landscape
4. The A448 is a fast dangerous road and highly congested road and difficult to enter or cross both for cars and pedestrians
5. A significant 40+% increase in population
6. Health provision locally already over stretched

I’ve read the consultation paper and proposals for Studley do not meet any of your 12 stated objectives. Extra traffic, water issues pollution, ruining Warwickshire countryside will not help net zero or any other objectives you may have
The roads can’t cope as it is nor can the water system so many new homes no matter how eco friendly they are will help
