I consider this proposed site to be a more preferable location as it is not in Greenbelt land which should be protected and is close to the M40 but would not put additional strain onto the A46/M40 which is already at breaking point before the Union View and Kenilworth developments are complete

X1 and X2 are both logical extensions to continue the development of South Leamington and would work well alongside all the strategic growth locations of SG09/SG10/SG11. They are well supported by all the current and additional infrastructure already being provided by this ongoing development including access to the M40 motorway junctions 13 and 14.

X2: concern regarding flooding, a frequent occurence over recent years which will increase due to the effects of global warming; in addition a traveller site at the current Leamington FC ground would be to far away from local amenities, schools etc. Furthermore, site ID 591, land at Windmill Hill Farm, has been rejected for planning permission less than a year ago, potential dangers for all road users accessing and leaving the site at the bottom of Windmill Hill Lane, make this a completely inappropriate site; in addition, flooding is also an issue on this land.

If substantial growth is to occur in Stratford, it should occur on the northern side due to better access to Stratford Parkway station, the strategic highway network, and existing employment. A relief road must be positioned on the southern side, linking the A34 with the A46, but proposals around the eastern side are not feasible. Additionally, growth should focus on new settlements near public transport interchanges, including railway stations and access to Birmingham Airport. Options around X1, X2, SG09, 10, 11, G1, SG13, 14, and B1 appear to be the most sensible.

Chesterton Windmill SM & GI LB – concerns re: setting and significant impact on contribution made by views to significance of windmill.

Setting of GII Mallory Court RPG & GII Mallory Court Hotel to north need consideration.

Ymatebydd: National Gas Transmission

Asiant : Avison Young

We have identified one or more proposed development sites as being crossed or in close proximity to National Gas Transmission assets.

Details of the sites affecting National Gas Transmission assets are provided below.

Gas Transmission Pipeline, route: CHURCHOVER COMP TEE TO HONEYBOURNE
Gas Transmission Pipeline, route: CHURCHOVER TO WORMINGTON

Without appropriate acknowledgement of the National Gas Transmission assets present within the site, these policies should not be considered effective as they cannot be delivered as proposed; unencumbered by the constraints posed by the presence of National Gas Transmission infrastructure.

We propose that future Local Plan policies in respect of the affected proposed allocations and new settlements include a policy strand that incorporates wording to
the following effect:

“The development will demonstrate a clear strategy for responding to the National Gas Transmission high-pressure gas pipelines present within the site which provides evidence on how the National Gas Transmission Design Guide and Principles have been applied at
the masterplanning stage and how the impact of the assets has been reduced through good design.”

It is requested that this wording is either incorporated into site specific policies for the ten affected sites, or included within the general policy text if site-specific policies are not
incorporated in later versions of the emerging South Warwickshire Local Plan.

Ymatebydd: National Grid Electricity Distribution (South West) PLC

Asiant : Lucy White Planning Limited

This potential location is affected by a 132kV overhead electricity line, strategically important utility infrastructure serving Warwick and Royal Leamington Spa and the wider area. NGED does not object to development, providing this infrastructure is safeguarded. Early consideration of the line through the masterplanning process is critical to ensure the line can be appropriately incorporated into planned development.

Proposals for major development will rely on adequate capacity within the national grid to meet the increased demand for electricity. Please ensure early engagement with NGED to establish existing capacity and any enhancements, including sub-stations, required to accommodate the planned growth.

X2 cannot be considered a new settlement. It will inevitably merge with Whitnash and Leamington Spa, causing additional drain on already over-stretched amenity and infrastructure, which will result in its not being self-sufficient. It is impossible to believe that new inhabitants will not leave X2 to fulfil their day-to-day needs in Leamington Spa. Proximity to a current settlement is noted in the “New Settlement Assessment as at Preferred Options” document as <2km, whereas in reality it abuts Whitnash.
The SWLP PO Growth Strategy New Settlement Paper rates X2 as ‘Green’ with regard to surface flooding. This may appear to be the case from a desktop study but living in the area it is clear that that site 612 is highly susceptible to surface water flooding due to its clay soil.
Almost all land within the X2 and SG11 areas is currently productive farmland with nutrient-rich clay soil.
The site is bounded by the Fosse Way to the east and railway line to the north. The M40 lies to the south/south-west of the proposed settlement which will act as a constraint to future expansion, not to mention increased proximity to the motorway will result in very poor-quality housing due to emissions and noise pollution. Further expansion to the west would link the settlement with Bishops Tachbrook and existing new development south of Harbury Lane. Expansion to the north-west will merge the settlement with Whitnash and Heathcote. Expansion to accommodate the 6,000 unit minimum would therefore require additional land assembly, would run into physical barriers, or involve more blending with existing settlements.
would like it to be noted that our land has been promoted for adoption without our consent by Terrano Land & Development, and therefore we are not represented by Terrano, nor can we be treated as a single party along with the other parcels under their promotion, further reducing the cohesion of 612, SG11, and X2.

Sites X1, X2, G1, F2, F3 are relatively close to the M40 and thus to A46, at least offering ready made car routes. Further, there is potential for a new station near Harbury, that could then serve F1 and perhaps F2 and F3 subject to parking, and/or a new station near Bishop’s Itchington.

I write in response to the Local Plan consultation and specifically to comment on proposed settlement X1, X2 and growth areas SG09 and SG10.
The proposals are in the wrong place for a number of reasons:
1. X1 and SG09 and SG10 It would be the first major development south of the M40 - which has acted as a correct boundary for Warwick urban sprawl and new development. Over time Warwick/Leamington development has merged the towns together and marched eastward towards Bishops Tachbrook. The proposed settlement X2 plus employment growth would further expand development around Bishops Tachbrook. The councils should not want to see this development spread south of the M40 boundary.

2.The roads of Wasperton Lane and Hareway Lane are single carriageway rural roads and would have to be widened, completely changing the local character and removing dozens of mature / ancient trees in the process.

3.Traffic entering Barford would increase tremendously and overwhelm the village from Wasperton Lane and Hareway Lane.

4.There are no existing train stations nearby and existing public transport infrastructure is non-existent.

5.Should it go ahead, the undeveloped gap between X1 and Barford would inevitably be filled in over time leading to a new mass urban area. If we look at Warwick / Leamington we can see evidence of this happening before.

6.The land has several shallow valleys and is patch worked with woods and spinneys including ancient trees. Local wildlife traverses from copse to wood etc and this would not be possible with thousands of houses there instead.

7.These valleys already have flooding problems from surface water drainage which would worsen with tarmac and developed surfaces preventing percolation

8. Proposals also exist for development north of Wellesbourne, Warwick University Wellesbourne campus expansion and a quarry outside Barford. These together would change this gateway to the Cotswolds for ever and be over development of this area.

9.This area around Barford is rural and picturesque and the gateway to the Cotswolds. Mass development here would ruin that for ever.

In conclusion X1, SG09 and SG10 are proposed in the wrong places and should not be permitted or on the shortlist in the local plan.
