Don’t really understand why this is deemed less suitable as it would take the pressure off the Warwick traffic situation if any development north of the A46 proceeded.
Again a more cohesive overarching plan using compulsory purchase would avoid the constraints imposed by relying on landowner offerings.

I object to the houses being built in Barford. We already struggle with traffic, congestion and difficulties getting in and out of the village at busy times. There is not the infrastructure to support this! We are running out of green spaces which will affect the beautiful environment and there also a lot of flooding.

This is productive organic farmland with a plethora of Wildlife - deer/badgers/bats/peacock/hares
People walk and hike here to rejuvenate from the urban sprawl
Simply the infrastructure is already dangerously overloaded
People in Barford are trapped currently - due to increased traffic it is almost impossible to join the main roads due to traffic to commute to work/ shops/ visiting relatives
The village is a thoroughfare for local schools and is impassable in the mornings and afternoon - it is already dangerous
The local Hospitals/ Sewage systems etc are struggling to cope with the huge proposed density of population

Barford Neighbourhood Plan 2014-2029 states that the land along Wasperton Lane and Hareway Lane should be preserved not only for the open countryside and views, but also for the prime agricultural land alongside. If this site goes ahead that will be destroyed, as will the view and access to Oakley Wood. Traffic around that area, to and from Wellesbourne, especially will increase and more shortcuts taken through Barford.

Organic farmland with an abundance of wildlife including bats, badgers, deer, pheasants, partridge, peacocks and of course hares.
All of which enjoyed by walkers ,cyclists and horse riders, will be destroyed by the development.
Project too large for the topography of the land.
Local infrastructure unable to support plan. ie roads (single tracks), sewers ( of which there are none) nor gas supply.
Local hospital ,already at capacity, unable to accommodate larger population.
Barford surrounded by the motorway and bypasses is already struggling to deal with current traffic gridlocked around school times, a dangerous situation.

The potential for X1 to be a new settlement would create almost continuous development in South Leamington and almost total development from Wellesbourne to South Leamington. This would destroy the nature and character of the area and the and create greater urbanisation across agricultural land which contributes to food security. The proposals to look at the SW relief road in Stratford and changes to the M40 could lead to ribbon development along its route linking Wellesbourne further to South Leamington.

I am raising concerns and objecting to the proposals for SG09, SG10, and X1 in the SWLP. My primary issues include development on floodplain land. This has already led to rising river levels and increased flood risks. I also oppose extending developments beyond the south west M40 corridor, fearing it will erode the character of historic villages. The infrastructure, particularly road access, is inadequate for increased traffic. Moreover, there is a lack of essential community facilities. I suggest creating a wetlands nature reserve for flood defence and ecological benefits. I oppose any further development without necessary infrastructure

Don't agree - Will increase traffic congestion and affect road safety on both Wasperton and Hareway Lane.
Both Lanes are narrow and already have a lot of traffic on them as drivers use them as a "cut through". Drivers already do not stick to speed limits on these lanes and so with more traffic, increase risk of accidents.
Additionally, when there are accidents on the A46, drivers use Barford to avoid traffic problems, which will only be compounded with potentially more homes in X1 area.

No rail connectivity. Loss of good agricultural land. Urbanising agricultural land with no previous settlement or housing of any kind. Major Impact on A429 with development of University of Warwick Innovation Campus and also proposals for gravel extraction site which will increase the volume of traffic with heavy lorries. Major impact on A452 and B4100 which is already a busy road. Housing this close to the M40 would be blighted by continual road noise it is unfair to expect families to live with noise pollution from a busy motorway.

Site X1 will put a great deal of pressure on Junction 13 of the M40 - this is already a dangerous junction. This site plus the additional development areas identified around Wellesbourne are at risk of spreading into each other. As has already been shown by current building areas insufficient facilities are provided to support the number of houses e.g. Hastings House Medical Centre is accommodating patients from areas which should have been provided with their own surgery. With the vast solar panel farm which has been developed along the Wellesbourne road, there will be very little green areas left!

Impact on A429 and proposals for sand & gravel extraction site at Wasperton and Barford.
Urbanising and causing harm to the current agricultural landscape.
Lack of any rail connectivity.
Housing this close to the M40 would be blighted by continual loud motorway noise. People should not be expected to live with noise pollution at this level.

I cannot believe the area seriously requires more houses. There is now, or will be, no countryside between Warwick and Leamington with all the house building on Gallows Hill and the Banbury Road.
Once again this will create more and more traffic.
Infrastructure never seems to be considered or, if it is, it is provided well after the developments have taken place.

This settlement is bounded by the quarry site. Wasperton Farm. I attach the Reg 25 letter and HRA appendix, some 14 months later this has still not been responded to. It demonstrates the high environmental sensitivity of the area. I also attach a technical noise report submitted about the area and its impact on close by receptors. Also enclosed is traffic report providing technical evidence of development on the cumulative impact of development on the A429 and M40 J15.

X1 fails key NPPF tests in terms of infrastructure, transport provision and realistic deliverability. It is under multiple ownership and is currently a very pretty rural area with high environmental and agricultural value, offering a natural habitat in the many hedgerows. This site faces heritage constraints. X1 threatens undermining established planning principles that protect the identities of rural settlements by creating an inappropriate urban sprawl between small rural communities. There is no justification for this site and it would not be effective or deliverable. It would have a massively detrimental impact on this last piece of countryside.

I think this would be a suitable site for a New Settlement.
A site south of Warwick/Leamington would also provide
• Easy access to main line rail station
• Easy access to hospital
• Access to existing and new local skills and jobs
• Access to Training and Education facilities
• Access to many existing retail outlets
• Direct access to M40 motorway
Site X1 does not suffer from a local network of already congested highways and single carriageway country lanes. In short, Site X1 would be more straightforward to develop.

I believe this site is a lot more suitable than any other options present for the following reasons:
The site is a lot closer to main railway lines, and stations that can support the increase in patrons using the railway system.
The site has easy access to the M40/M42 road systems which are capable of supporting the increase in traffic in the area.
The site has numerous local amenities available already, as well as supermarkets, shops, gyms, restaurants etc.
The site has various primary and secondary schools available already, which are large schools, on large grounds, that can support more children without the need to build as many schools.
The site has other hospitals close to it that are not as busy as the ones in Coventry/Birmingham etc.
The current road systems have already been modified and upgraded for the existing new build developments, and it would be cheaper an easier to utilise these.

It isn't a 'settlement', but part of a massive conurbation extending east from Barford all the way to Whitnash.
Inadequate road infrastructure for existing traffic volumes in/out of Warwick and Leamington.
Inadequate sewage disposal facilities with poor water quality in River Avon.
Solve these problems first! Then:
Loss of agricultural land at a time when food security might become important.
Emphasis on number of houses with no concern for any other consideration. No attempt to build communities or promote social cohesion.
Fundamentally change the character of what is currently a rural area.

This would be a better option for develop as it would provide a more environment better option as this site is closure to the M40 and with a proposed new motorway junction would mean easier access for traffic to get to the development and prevent all the additional traffic in the historical town of Warwick
This area would could also provide the necessary infrastructure and necessary support facilities as it has been previously muted that this area could provide a new hospital facility that is much needed due to the failing and crumbling existing Warwick hospital facility.

This location is unsuitable. Bordering the local council owned Crematorium and cutting off woodland corridor to Oakley Wood this area is excellent farmland.
The local schools are already full, the local gps similar, the hospital has said it has * no ability whatsoever to cater for an increase in population*.
This development would be wholly reliant on cars, thus rendering a nonsense of Net Zero and would damage a beautiful area irreparably.

X1 as part of the SWLP infringes on the edge of the village of Bishops Tachbrook and reduces the separation the village has from the main town of Leamington Spa reducing the heritage and distinct character of the village. Additional development goes against previous development plans which brought in the designation of tachbrook Country Park as a buffer of green space between the village and Leamington Spa’s urban sprawl. The assessment does not provide clarity on why this location is selected and does not give clear direction on how key infrastructure issues will be addressed.
