SG22 west of Studley: SG22 is west of the A448 and in Sambourne Parish (the group of houses known as Middletown). It is in the Green Belt which performs an important function in containing the large town of Redditch. Studley is effectively contained by the A448 on the west and the A435 on the east.
Sambourne is a village 'washed over' by Green Belt which has retained its separate character. SG22 if developed would have no natural boundary and would lead in time to further development towards Samborne. SG22 should not be taken further.

SG23 Henley-in-Arden: Henley-in-Arden (with Beaudesert) is a very small historic town set in the Green Belt. It lies in a valley with open land either side; the railway is an effective western boundary. Beaudesert Park north of Henley is part of its setting. Crocketts Farm west of the railway, reached by a narrow private road, is a closed golf course. It could reopen or be returned to agriculture. Development there would be unsustainable, being car-dependent without services.
Henley has a rail service, but that does not justify new development. Its historic character and tourist value require that it stays small.

SG24 Hockley Heath: Hockley Heath is a village in Solihull which has Stratford District on its west, south and east. SG24 would add housing on all sides in an unplanned way around the small street-based settlement on the A3400. There are limited services in Hockley Heath which depends on Dorridge or Solihull for all needs.
SG24 includes wooded land between the Stratford Canal and Cutthroat Lane. This is very rural, served by narrow lanes. It is not a sustainable location for development in any way.
The whole area is Green Belt and meets its purposes. SG24 should not be pursued.

The Policy Direction is not supported.
The scale of proposed development is much greater than is required
It is not required for natural change in the population and is almost wholly going to be occupied by people moving into the area
New housing around South Warwickshire’s towns will harm their setting and generate harmful traffic
The numbers are not likely to be delivered in practice
Green Belt should not be undermined by development
New settlements in various rural locations would urbanise the countryside
Existing 'new settlements’ (Long Marston Airfield, Gaydon-Lighthorne Heath, Kingshill) should be completed before any more are considered.

A1 south of Tanworth-in-Arden: A new settlement here would be wholly out of character with the rolling Arden landscape. The land is all Green Belt and has strong biodiversity, and recreational value. It is not a sustainable location. It would require much infrastructure and generate traffic on rural roads. Tanworth-in-Arden is a conservation village whose setting has been effectively protected through the Green Belt and Conservation Area status for many years. Location A1 should not be pursued further.

B1 Land at Hatton. A new settlement here would be wholly out of character with the Arden landscape.
The land is all Green Belt and has strong recreational value.
The land proposed is not a sustainable location.
Hatton already has a large settlement, Hatton Park, is in effect a new settlement. It has been taken out of the Green Belt.
Hatton railway station has minor road access and has limited services
Additions to Hatton Park on the east side would be the least harmful way to add to existing development in the area, with a foot/cycle route to Warwick Parkway.

A2 north of Tanworth-in-Arden (Wood End): A new settlement here would be wholly out of character with the wooded Arden landscape. The land is all Green Belt and has strong biodiversity, and recreational value. It is not a sustainable location. It would require much infrastructure and generate traffic on rural roads. Tanworth-in-Arden is a conservation village whose setting has been protected through Green Belt and Conservation Area status for many years. The valley northeast of Tanworth is a particularly attractive landscape and the best approach to the village, along the Umberslade to Tanworth avenue. Location A2 should not be pursued.

The strategic objectives are mostly sound but Objectives 1 and 2 undermine the aims of the others.
Objective 1 'Supporting an appropriate level of growth which is proportionate in scale' and Objective 2 'Meeting South Warwickshire's current and future housing need' actually mean high levels of new housing: 54,700 more houses during 2025 to 2050.This is wholly out of scale with the existing settlement pattern. This requirement has no link with current and future housing need; it is the area's share of a national target set by government.
The scale of housing proposals prevents Objectives 7 to 12 being achievable.

C1 Land south of Kingswood: This is open countryside between Kingswood (Lapworth Parish) and Rowington Green (Rowington Parish). The two canals, Grand Union (a linear Conservation Area) and Stratford, run through as does the Leamington-Birmingham main line. The M40 is to the west.
The location is not sustainable. There are no main roads, shops or services in the general area. There is no access to the M40 and the one station, Lapworth, is 1.5-2km to the north. The canals make the area of recreational value which urbanisation would damage. Local roads are not suitable for more traffic.

E1 Long Marston: Long Marston already has two half-settlements - Meon Vale and Long Marston Airfield. Confused decisionmaking during the preparation of previous Local Plans has resulted in areas of new housing development in both locations without an overall plan. A single settlement with reopened Stratford-Honeybourne railway line (alignment rewserved in the SWLP) and a station at Long Marston (Depot) should be pursued. Without rail reopening Location E1 is not practicable as it would be unsustainable and dependent on car use.
Long Marston Airfield (area developed) is too far from the line to be served by rail; it needs rethinking.
