This site is on non-green belt land and has good traffic infrastructure so it has advantages over proposed sites on green belt land.

The SWLP has 12 sites, 5 of these are Green Belt land and seven are non-Green Belt land. These seven non-Green Belt land sites have room between them for 46,500 dwellings. This includes land south of Leamington. The existence of these sites means that there are no ‘exceptional circumstances’ to develop any Green Belt site.

In order to comply with the National Planning Policy Framework 2024, all for these non-Green Belt sites such as south of Leamington should be developed before any Green Belt site.

X1 brings 6,000 new houses with no assurances of additional schools , health facilities or amenities. The surrounding roads in Barford and entry/exit into Leamington and Warwick are already overly congested. Barford is now a busier "rabbit run" with traffic choosing Barford as alternative routes are busy. The track record of recent new developments has made life miserable (and that takes COVID into account when traffic was less). We need new towns not bolting on new sites into rural environments as fillers. If there wasnt a traffic problem in the area then why the need for a new M40 junction?

The proposed site allocation of X1 is not suitable for new community as it poses significant heritage harm as identified within the sustainability appraisal.

Additionally, the site score poorly on Climate Change, Biodiversity, Natural Resources and Waste.

Lastly, X1 is also inappropriate because–

• Increased traffic, parking provision and demand on existing infrastructure as well as subsequent increases in air pollution as a result of this;
• The visual impact of new buildings in a local context;
• Implications for community and key infrastructure; and
• The protection of trees, habitats and woodland.

Summary of severe adverse effects on the local area (see detailed comments):
• Loss of character of this area of South Warwickshire.
• Loss of significant amenity for the local community.
• Loss of the character of the villages and their communities.
• Increase in traffic exacerbating current traffic infrastructure issues.
• Lack of adequate public transport in the area.
• Increasing pressure on an already stretched local infrastructure.

X1 and X2 are the most suitable local sites for development. They're adjacent to the motorway and a new junction could be easily built. They're prime areas for strategic growth and the nearby Park and Ride could serve new homes and take people to Leamington station. The station could be developed as a perfect bus/rail interchange and the large car park is mostly empty. It's a far better site with least impact for South Warwickshire. It's close to many facilities and transportation links and there's space for a hospital. It makes sense to develop areas that have infrastructure in place.

Leamington has already exploded in the past five years. The roads are jammed, the services are overstretched and the vast housing developements and population explosion is changimg the character of the area and making it unpleasant. Infrastructure cannot cope with all the new 29,000 homes being concentrated in a few massive developments in the area particularly south Leamington and Whitnash which is gridlocked. These houses need to be fully dispersed across the whole of warwickshire with every town and village taking a handful of them. This would be a fairer, more sustainable appproach as the infratrusture will always play catch-up.

Relative to other proposed sites, I feel use of X1 would have less impact on any established community. The nearby M40 junction could be converted into a normal one with access in all directions. Rail access could be achieved by a bus service to Leamington, perhaps with a park and ride facility to service the wider area. Importantly this area is not within the green belt.

Infrastructure -already insufficient. Barford has quality land - UK/world facing food insecurity & resource challenges, which will worsen this decade. These areas get flooded - building developments will worsen this. The character of the area will be lost. The only countryside walk around the village will be ruined. It is highly valued by residents -the fields you will build on have red- and amber-listed species, including yellowhammers, hares, kestrels, wrens, redwings, song thrushes, etc). Habitat fragmentation already too bad - these species will disappear from the area forever. Pollution, noise, emissions. Overall: a vision of death all round. No future.

This site is unsuitable due to:
1) lack of capacity in existing sewage systems. Currently Severn Trent release directly into the river routinely.
2) Warick hospital lacks capacity for this additional population
3) The increased pressure it will put on the road network through Barford village as an access route to employment in Stratford, to the M40 via longbridge island, and to the A46 route to coventry.
4) lack of access to train station other than via congested routes in south leamington
5) overcrowded parking facilities at the Shires shopping center
6) elimination of rural setting of Barford

1. Current infrastructure doctors/dentists/ schools are close to capacity already without adding new places.
2. Valuable good quality agricultural land will be destroyed when local food security needs to be prioritised as a matter of national policy.
3. Proposed development sites include flood plain for current housing in Wellesbourne and, if developed, will put the existing housing at risk. We have seen the fields around us flood over many years. Photo evidence can be provided if requested.
4. Wellesbourne has contributed to housing targets and current allocated sites provide sufficient new housing for 4.5 years of housing targets.

This land has little recreational attraction and because it is bounded by Warwick/Leamington on one side and the M40 on the other, it is of little importance to wildlife. It is a logical extension to the existing development areas and its location with M40 is ideal for a new motorway junction. Therefore transport links are excellent. Easy access to Warwick / Leamington. Ideal opportunity for building a large hospital complex and out of town retail park.

Barford has expanded significantly in recent years, with a number of new build developments. The village school is now at capacity and does not have room to expand further. The by-pass (A429) is very busy at peak times and the Barford junction is an accident blackspot. The location of the proposed new settlement would lead to the destruction of prime agricultural land and would mean the region is contributing less to production of fresh food. The rural character of the village would be lost. Negative impact on air quality and the health of residents. More car journeys needed.
