This development will likely require treatment at Redditch - Spernal (STW) Treatment Works, this Wastewater Treatment Works has low capacity constraints 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 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. Commuting is the norm and the SWLP must accommodate this. Settlement expansion and locations of new settlements must be supported by transport infrastructure. Transport links around Studley are approaching capacity. Development in SG22 should be considered preferable to development in SG21.

This is a proposal to build a large housing estate on rural fields with no consideration for the impact on local services and infrastructure. For example the local Doctors practice is already collapsing under the pressure of the current residents. The busy NodeHill/Bromsgrove road is already a difficult road to cross and adding hundreds of houses plus cars is going to make it an exceptionally dangerous place for both cars and pedestrians.

The bottom line is that there are numerous brownfield sites around the Redditch area that should be considered well before we permanently destroy green belt land.

The fact that a town the size of Studley, with the range of facilities and services is provides, has only contributed 4.3% of the housing completed in Main Rural Centres does not sit well with the concept of sustainable development. It is therefore critical that land is allocated for housing at Studley - SG22 delivers that critical need.

SG22 west of Studley: SG22 is west of the A448 and in Sambourne Parish (the group of houses known as Middletown). It is in the Green Belt which performs an important function in containing the large town of Redditch. Studley is effectively contained by the A448 on the west and the A435 on the east.
Sambourne is a village 'washed over' by Green Belt which has retained its separate character. SG22 if developed would have no natural boundary and would lead in time to further development towards Samborne. SG22 should not be taken further.

St Philips support the proposed 'Sustainable Travel and Economy' Spatial Growth Strategy to address housing needs in South Warwickshire and the Greater Birmingham area. Directing growth to both urban areas and rural settlements, like Studley, is crucial for sustainable development. Studley is well-equipped with services and infrastructure, making it a suitable location for housing. St Philips advocate for their site at Brickyard Lane, which can deliver around 50 homes and aligns with NPPF objectives for sustainable patterns of development. The site has no known constraints and should be considered for allocation in the next SWLP iteration.

The green belt between Studley, Redditch, and Sambourne is crucial for our rural landscape. The existing individual homes along Bromsgrove Road differ from the affordable estates in Studley, and building more affordable houses on agricultural land behind these properties disrupts the balance. The fertile fields are vital for agriculture, support wildlife, and offer public walks. I suggest development at Spernal Ash to improve infrastructure and ease traffic congestion. I am concerned that Persimmon's development plans may proceed without public consultation, and I hope our concerns will be acknowledged.

I understand that the government prioritises Green Belt land to prevent urban sprawl and maintain its openness. The proposed Parcel of Land SG22, located adjacent to Studley, is currently agricultural land crucial for food security, especially given recent global challenges. Developing SG22 would adversely affect the rural character of Middletown, overwhelm local services, and significantly increase the population and traffic. According to local plans and community feedback, the vast majority oppose any boundary changes. Therefore, I believe SG22 should not be considered for housing development due to its importance for agriculture and community identity.

We have a serious problem of infrastructure. A lack of:

Schools

GP Surgeries
Dentists
Transport facilities
Nursery facilities

We would be damaging a beautiful environment, and overcapacitating the road system.

Surely there are plenty of brownfield sites available before destroying beautiful green belt land causing serious traffic problems.

I wish to echo the points made by Studley and Sambourne Parish Councils 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.

I believe this development should not proceed for several reasons. Firstly, it occupies good agricultural land, which is vital for our self-sufficiency. Its location is intrusive, being on rising ground. There are existing traffic issues in Sambourne and Middletown, and new residents would likely exacerbate these problems. The report's assertions about local schools and medical facilities are unrealistic, as they are already overwhelmed. Additionally, this development would likely lead to the merging of Middletown with Redditch. Finally, it would ruin the peaceful rural setting that my husband described in his book.

I believe the proposal for the land SG22 is unsuitable and out of character for the area. It's essential to retain this land for farming to ensure food security, especially given global uncertainties. Urbanising Middletown would lead to increased pollution and disrupt the rural landscape, which residents cherish. The area lacks adequate facilities and is already congested with traffic. Additionally, it is surrounded by narrow lanes unsuitable for heavy vehicles. Protecting this land for agriculture and its natural beauty is crucial for the community's future and wellbeing. We should prioritise redeveloping brownfield sites instead.

Having read the proposal SG22 for development of land for housing I strongly object on the basis of:

Inadequate provision of NHS Dentists and Doctors and Hospitals already without extra capacity.

Risk of further flooding as the lanes surrounding Sambourne and Studley are already subject to flooding during heavy rainfall.

These lanes are also suffering from erosion and potholes because of heavy traffic using them as a rat run to Astwood Bank.

There are no pavements so pedestrians are at risk of injury from increased traffic.

Schools in the area are already overflowing with pupils, necessitating further transport to other locations that may have vacancies.

A lack of any public transport whatsoever in the vicinity of Sambourne and Studley, the former only having one bus thankfully provided

No local transport. The land is fertile, farmed greenbelt, widely used by the local community for walking etc. There are deer on that land. Air pollution is already high in the village.

1. Developing this piece of land would greatly diminish the area of green belt that separates Sambourne and Studley. This would be an irretrievable blight on the local landscape. Middletown would quickly lose its identity if the development was to proceed and it would destroy the local environment enjoyed by all Studley residents and all those who make use of the access to countryside walking routes.
2. Development would have a major negative impact on wildlife by replacing green fields with a sprawl of urban building. This would radically change the nature of the area and have a negative impact on the way of life for all existing residents.
3. The Land SG22 is bordered by Middletown Lane and Jill Lane (Both are small B roads that are not easy to access at peak times) and the A448 Node Hill. The B roads are insufficiently big to enable pedestrian pathways or cycle paths. As a result, vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians have to share the same roads. It is currently extremely busy during week day peak times 8am to 9am and 3pm till 5pm. It is highly likely that the area would become gridlocked if more traffic was forced along these routes as a result of the proposed development. The risks to pedestrians and cyclists would be further escalated by the increased traffic volumes.
4. The A448 is currently designated as an official route to be used by The Redditch Eastern Gateway. The development of SG22 would have a significant impact on the traffic volumes onto the A448 and create significant disruption to existing traffic flows.
5. The crossroads at the junction of Middletown lane and the A448 becomes very busy at peak flow times and the extra traffic volume resulting from the development will require an investigation on how best to minimise the risks of accidents at this point. It should be noted that this is a key crossing point for children walking to Studley schools.
6. The plot of land SG22, is currently used to grow food crops. Removing this ability to ‘grow our own’ will place further pressure on the import of food from overseas. Land would be best retained in order to maintain independence and control of our own destiny.
7. From an environmental angle residents would be exposed to much higher levels of air pollution, noise pollution and light pollution. (currently there are no street lights along the two narrow B roads that straddle the proposed development area). The proposal would fundamentally change the area from being rural to urban and call for significant investment in infrastructure and road safety measures
8. Middletown Lane is subject to a degree of flooding issues The proposed area slopes down towards Middletown Lane. A build up of housing would greatly increase the risk of flooding on the roads and existing properties as water waste would naturally flow down towards the existing properties. Major drainage infrastructure changes would be required to avoid flooding issues.
9. The proposed development land is green belt agricultural land. Options that do not destroy green areas should be prioritised ahead of such land. Loss of valuable habitat for many species should be avoided when there are other options available.
10. The existing facilities and services within Studley and Coughton would come under significantly increased pressure to support the additional population needs. For example, schools and medical centres. It is difficult to visualize the increased demand being absorbed by the current facilities when personal experience indicates that they are already under severe pressure to cope with existing demand.
11. Any proposal must take into consideration the wider impact on the community that is Studley such as a new medical centre, recreational facilities, protecting public footpaths, public transport needs and protecting wildlife.

Apart from the obvious infrastructure problems there is the problem of traffic congestion which will increase substantially.

There is already congestion at the junction of Bromsgrove Road and Alcester Road at Spernal. Also at the the top of Node Hill, crossroads at Rutters and at Jill Lane.

On top of all that there will be a considerable amount of pollution.

This idea must not go ahead.

Does the identification of these areas imply that they are ripe for housing and/or industrial development notwithstanding the fact that they are on green belt land?
This is of great concern because there would be a requirement for a substantial increase in:
1)School and further education provision
2)Medical and dental provision
3) Transport. The roads are congested at the present time and there are no bus services or railway stations.
