The 'Call for sites' is unnecessary and undesirable. The planning authorities have the knowledge to identify sites and locations for development which meet the draft Plan's objectives and should present them at consultation stage. The 'call for sites' results in landowners and holders of options having undue influence on the proposals. Thge presentation of these submitted sites then creates blight on areas, and concern and potentially distress for local residents where such sites are published.
The call for sites for commercial renewable energy (solar farms. wind farms and BESS battery complexes) is particularly damaging. This should be cancelled.

The Plan Summary states, "Primarily, the Local Plan sets out how we will grow the South Warwickshire economy and create jobs through delivery of the net zero carbon agenda. It will ensure that the necessary infrastructure and the right type and number of homes are delivered to support the level of jobs we want to see across South Warwickshire to 2050."
The driver of the SWLP is not to grow the area's economy or create jobs, but to meet an imposed housing requirement. There is no need for a Plan for the area's economy. It is successful, providing full employment.

The land is in what was the “Forest of Arden Special Landscape Area”, and retains the landscape character that justified SLA designation. The hill west of Rounds Hill is in the view from Kenilworth Castle. Housing on it would harm the Castle's setting. The land in SG04 is within the site of 'the Olde Parke', part of the deer park. Earthworks are still visible; housing development would destroy these and any other historical remains.
The area includes a well-used footpath connecting Kenilworth to the countryside which would be lost.
The land is good quality farmland which should be protected.

This is sloping land facing SE which separates Lillington and Cubbington. It has footpaths and is much valued for recreation. It is Green Belt and meets the purposes of including land in the Green Belt. Developing it for housing would effectively extend Leamington's built-up area to include Cubbington.

The construction of HS2 to the NE of Cubbington has already led to loss of valued local countryside. This would take away Cubbington's countryside on the other side of the village.

SG06 is much of the parish of Old Milverton & Blackdown. It is in the Green Belt and forms an essential part of Leamington's setting. It meets the purposes of Green Belt fully and its loss to housing would be damaging to the character of the town. Old MIlverton is a small village that has retained very rural character despite closeness to Leamington and Warwick; this would be lost with housing close to it in site SG06. It is used for arable farming which can be continued next to the town. Public access is provided by footpaths.

SG07 is open countryside which is immediately W of the A46 and in the Green Belt. It separates Hatton Park (now largely developed as housing) from Warwick and preserves the setting of the historic county town on its NW side.
It is being suggested for warehousing (B8 use class) without any basis for there being a need for that type of employment in the Warwick/Leamington area.
Wedgnock Park is former hunting park associated with Warwick Castle and has good rights of way - making it a valuable area for recreation for residents of the Capoe and Woodloes area of Warwick.

SG08 comprises the fields between Warwick Racecourse and the Warwick Bypass. These fields are an important part of the setting of Warwick and are in the view from St Mary's Church tower and Guy's Tower. There are footpaths across these fields between Warwick and Hampton Magna.
The land around Warwick Parkway station, west of the A46, has lost its Green Belt role through development of extensive station car-parking. There are local authority uses of the land between the canal and the A4177 north of the railway. This would be a better location for housing, with direct access to the station.

SG09 is land south of Europa Way. It is rural land between the Banbury Road (A425) and the M40. It is beyond the limit of housing development in the Harbury Lane/Europa Way spread, and is farmed land of good quality. It appears to be an option for employment land. Red House Farm would effectively disappear.
The WMSESS report on regional employment land potential has selected this location, though without any justification. It would not be easy for workers to reach and would depend on car access. As a location for B8 warehousing it would be wasteful of land.

SG10 around Bishops Tachbrook would if developed absorb Tachbrook into the Leamington urban area, ending its village character and setting. The land SE of Europa Way is the last block left as rural land between Leamington and the A452. Making it a strategic growth location would mean building on Windmill Hill which has an ancient mound (Scheduled).
There are limited services at Bishops Tachbrook and the school has no spare capacity.

This is a a very large area of farmland, 354 ha. It includes Tachbrook Mallory, the prominent wood on Highdown Hill and two farms. The land SW of Harbury Lane would not be a suitable strategic growth extension.
The land between Harbury Lane and the railway is the site of the 1930s Leamington Airfield and includes a scrapyard and a container storage base. It lies in the area of Whitnash Town Council and part is suggested for a new settlment ('X2'). An urban extension here is possible, but that would depend on the future of the golf course.
