F1 Land west of Ufton: This is a rural landscape east of the Fosse Way, a bowl of open countryside in which any major development would be prominent, notably from Ufton. It would not be sustainable development, being dependent on car use. Traffic to/from Leamington Spa would create congestion and dangers to road safey in Radford Semele. To the east, Ufton would be congested with additional traffic., Loss of farmland (366 ha) would be serious. F1 should not be pursued.

F2 Land at Deppers Bridge (between Bishops Itchington and Ladbroke): This is open countryside which includes the valley of the River Itchen, which runs north to join the Leam near Eathorpe. Recent development west of the main railway line is on a brownfield site, which this is not. The location is not sustainable; new stations between Leamington and Banbury will not be supported because of the speed and frequency of existing fast passenger services and the level of freight traffic. Access from the east would be through Ladbroke, a conservation village, along a minior road. F2 should not be pursued.

F2 South of Deppers Bridge: new settlement proposals in the Felden area east and southeast of Leamington are in open countryside, would use valuable farmland (some BMV), are not near any existing large towns, and are not sustainable development. Proximity to the Banbury-Leamington (London-Birmingham) main line do not make such locations sustainable. No new stations are likely to be agreed as the line is full of fast passenger trains and intermodal and other freight trains. These locations should not be pursued further.

F3 Land northeast of Knightcote: new settlement proposals in the Felden area east and southeast of Leamington are in open countryside, would use valuable farmland (some BMV), are not near any large towns, and are not sustainable development. Proximity to the Banbury-Leamington (London-Birmingham) main line do not make such locations sustainable. No new stations are likely to be agreed; the line's capacity is used by fast passenger trains and intermodal and other freight trains.
The land is overlooked from the Burton Dassett Hills (Country Park). A windfarm was refused permission on this location some 12 years ago.

X1 Land between Barford, Wellesbourne and the M40: This is open countryside east of the River Avon. It is farming landscape (some BMV land) with narrow roads. It would be dependent on cars unless costly public transport links were made with Warwick and Leamington.
If M40 junction 13 were to be enlarged to handle more traffic (as is implied with this proposal) it would become a large, noisy and intrusive feature which the present unlit one-direction interchenge is not.
Location X1 should not be pursued.

X2 Land south of Whitnash west of Fosse Way: This is a a very large area of farmland, 324ha. A new settlement is not supported; see instead response on SG11 Land SE of Whitnash. The land between Harbury Lane and the railway is the 1930s Leamington Airfield and includes a scrapyard and a container storage base. It lies in the area of Whitnash Town Council. An urban extension here is possible, though not extending as far south-eastwards as the Fosse Way. Much more work is needed to examine this; one factor would be the future of the golf course.

BW Land at Bearley and Wilmcote: The site (329ha) lies between the railway line and the A3400 Stratford-Birmingham road plus some land around the village of Bearley. It is Green Belt, valuable farmland and crossed by footpaths. It forms part of the rural view on road and rail journeys to/from Stratford. It meets the purposes of including land in Green Belt.
The A3400 is a busy road without bypasses (W-Wawen, Henley) so should not have more traffic. Trains on the railway need shorter journeys that now, so a stop at Bearley is undesirable.
Location X1 should not be pursued further.

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.

Policy Direction 3 is setting policies for rural villages. Under the strategy chosen, development will be in sustainable locations and not dispersed to villages. A review of the BUAB of villages which have them is not justified. Existing development control policies should be used to control development in villages.
The '10% small sites' policy (NPPF) does not mean sites should be sought in villages to comply with it. Urban sites are at least as likely to provide that element of new housing that NPPF requires. This should be rewritten in the next version of the Plan.
