I am emailing because the online system is extremely complex and vast with no attempt to synthesise the key points. Most of the questions are also about ideals and not practicalities, and there is no commitment to sorting out the impact of these extra dwellings and families on local communities.
I am very concerned about the extensive plan for new dwellings in the area with little real practical plans for the increase in demand of local services. How much has been committed to dealing with the needs of better infrastructure? There are no solid commitments; it is nice to have a strategy, but that is not a commitment. This includes
1. roads (which are currently crowded and many desperately in need of repair – for instance substantial (over 30 cm in diameter) potholes in most roads around Kenilworth.
2. community/green space, extremely popular and insufficient nice spaces (trees, walks, play grounds etc)
3. Amenities, including swimming pools
4. Health support (NHS dentists, doctors, hospitals). Getting a doctors appointment is already extremely difficult, whilst A&E are struggling in Coventry/Warwick, with excessive waits.
The consultation document as I said is vast. Without a summary this consultation isn’t accessible to the majority of people whom it will impact. Further, without practical commitments that keeps infrastructure improvements within thresholds as the local population increases the consultation is vacuous.

Roads inadequate for traffic, lighting inadequate, lack of doctors, schools , busses inadequate. Roads can’t cope as it is. More building will choke the open air feeling Burton Green, Kenilworth has had to deal with enough with hs2.

We support the Spatial Growth Strategy set out in Chapter 4.1 of the Preferred Options document and consider that the “Sustainable Travel and Economy” option presents a suitable option for growth which prioritises access to sustainable travel options as well as access to key centres and employment areas.

The consultation fails to address the irreversible loss of village identity that will result from these proposals. Many of the new settlements, including those near Hatton and Wellesbourne, will erode the distinctiveness of existing communities by merging them into larger urban areas. The SWLP acknowledges the risk of strategic coalescence but does not propose meaningful safeguards. The assumption that village identity can be sacrificed for the sake of housing targets is of great concern. The Local Plan must include defined buffer zones to prevent settlements from merging, clear design principles to maintain the character of existing villages and Green Belt protections that are respected rather than eroded. Without these safeguards, these developments will permanently alter South Warwickshire’s landscape and communities.
