University of Warwick Wellesbourne Campus

Charlecote Parish supports this proposal subject to the following:

The design avoids coalescence between Charlecote and Wellesbourne through protected landscaped buffers to the east approaching Charlecote from the A429 and holding the parcel closest to the village as a designated green open space in perpetutity.

Restricting development to the extent of the current planning application to protect the rural landscape synonymous with South Warwickshire.

A traffic management plan which avoids increased 'rat-running' through Charlecote and Hampton Lucy. Public transport serving the campus should be provided from within the development itself rather than Charlecote village. Protection of the historic Listed ‘Nobby’ Bridge in Charlecote and the historic Listed iron bridge between Hampton Lucy and Charlecote from additional traffic and HGV use. Access/exit from the Campus should be only via the A429.

This area lacks essential infrastructure for housing development, including rail and public transport connectivity, primary school spaces, nearby secondary schools, and local medical facilities which can take new patients.

The area is served by only two major roads – the A429 Warwick Road and B4086 Stratford Road. Both are already heavily impacted by traffic from new housing in Wellesbourne and Tiddington, congestion from visitors to the Saturday market, and likely impacts of the proposed University of Warwick expansion (an increase to some 4,000 people employed/studying on site). Additional pressures would result from Wellesbourne Airfield development and the proposed quarry near Barford. The area is already experiencing overdevelopment.

Tourism is crucial to Stratford-upon-Avon's economy. Such significant growth within a few miles of Stratford-upon-Avon would detract from the town’s status as a tourist destination. Additional congestion would make access to Stratford more challenging for visitors.

Overdevelopment would cause loss of Best and Most Versatile Land, and significant harm to landscape character, irreversibly altering the rural gateways to Stratford-upon-Avon, Charlecote and Hampton Lucy.

Charlecote is home to the historic Charlecote Park and House, a Grade I Listed Building & Parkland and one of the West Midlands' most visited National Trust properties, attracting approximately 250,000 visitors annually. Housing development adjacent to or nearby Charlecote’s historic gateway and significant heritage asset cannot be supported. Such development would be contrary to Paragraphs 189 to 208 of the NPPF, Core Strategy CS8, and policies protecting the historic and rural character of the area.
