Sites all identified as 691. Land east and west of A423, Long Itchington. Several parcels of land belonging to Cemex. Proposals have been around for many years but resisted because their development would surely join up Long Itchington to Southam. Way outside the BUAB as identified in the NP for Long Itchington. If developed would give the parish of Long Itchington a hugely unfair increase in housing on top of recent additions.

Site 503 - Land north of Southam. Not within the parish of Long Itchington. Would encourage the inevitable infill between Long Itchington and Southam

All potential sites identified for Long Itchington are outside the Built Up Area Boundary. This includes 462, 437, 446, 467, 391, 446, 478, 633, 469, 676, 186, 334, 335, 336, 691. Most are unsuitable for development. The HELAA assessments in are difficult to understand and do not seem very thorough. No reference is made to the Neighbourhood Plan, nor to planning history. Each site serves the purpose of allowing the SWLP to fulfil numbers through windfall development. This is very worrying as it puts the developer in the driving seat with the District merely responding to pressure to build.

Little consideration given to the role Southam plays within the cluster of nearby village settlements. If Southam expands significantly, there will be enormous pressure on the only two GP surgeries which serve Southam and many other villages; pressure on school places for Southam College is a factor. Public transport is poor. Real danger of over-whelming the facilities of local villages by expansion of Southam. Long Itchington is close to Southam; residents use our facilities - walking, play parks, community centre, clubs, pubs etc These are already often at capacity. This needs to be given very careful consideration.
