These aims would be violated by the SG06 development as would remove trees, hedges, open space, farmland and damage the local river. This would reduce biodiversity, habitats and encourage climate change.

In summary, the current references to biodiversity in chapter 11 are very welcome, but please consider building-dependent wildlife such as red-listed bird species which inhabit buildings in South Warwickshire, especially significant here due to the number of unmodernised older buildings which have a greater tendency to host these species.
Therefore, please add: Swift bricks are a universal nest brick for small bird species and should be installed in new developments including extensions, in accordance with best-practice guidance such as BS 42021 or CIEEM. Artificial nest cups for house martins may be proposed instead of swift bricks where recommended by ecologist.

It not that there is much wrong with what is written, BUT......
All the green space, the sites of special interest, SuDs systems etc need to be integrated into one green whole with green corridors so that wildlife can migrate safely and propagate. As things are we have isolated bits of nature that are not connected. I think this is the main priority. We need to see how 30 by 30 is going to work out before we decide where the houses should go.

The mandate to protect, conserve and enhance must be non-negotiable and in no circumstances should offsetting be allowed. The importance of protected sites for natural flood management where appropriate should be highlighted, cross-referenced to draft Policy J in chapter 7 on flood risks.
A green / blue map identifying all existing sites, options for new sites and connectivity should form part of the plan. For example Finham Brook in Kenilworth from upstream of the castle across Kenilworth down to the wetland area to be created under the HS2 bridge over the Brook.

Sites like The Little Haven Moth Nature on the old railway line in Bidford which is part of the Warwickshire County Council Local Biodiversity Action Plan (lbap@warwickshire.gov.uk) and Butterfly Conservation. The County Recorder, an inspect expert and lepidopterist regularly visit to monitor moth numbers as there is an extremely favourable tally and is an important nature reserve within the County. This will be impacted by SG20 if development goes ahead. Save our wildlife

Draft Policy 36 - Re: Long Marston Airfield
We are noticing a reduction in species, particularly since development on Meon Vale and the airfield. Including, fewer Newts in the pond, fewer hedgehogs, bats and deer.
We have deer coming into the garden now having been pushed away from the above developed green spaces, and some are hit on the roads.
Creatures appear frightened and tier corridors are cut-off. How will they survive ?
Insects also reduceds as a knock on effect.

SG05 - will destroy ancient trees and hedgerows. The impact to this green space will be devastating. Building on green belt land harms both mental health and wildlife. Green spaces provide vital areas for relaxation, reducing stress, promoting overall well-being. Losing these natural environments means fewer opportunities for people to connect with nature, leading to negative effects on mental health.Additionally, green belts are crucial habitats for wildlife, supporting biodiversity and offering refuge for many species. Development disrupts ecosystems, endangering these creatures, reducing the natural balance that benefits both people and wildlife. Protecting green belts is essential for health environmental sustainability.

It is difficult to see how biodiversity is going to be enhanced and linked up when so many proposed developments are next to these precious sites. I can't see any reference to 30% by 2030, perhaps the parcels that aren't used for development can be used for this.

Protecting sensitive habitats, species, and established wildlife corridors must be a priority in planning decisions. Development near nature reserves and vital wildlife sites threatens biodiversity through habitat destruction, ecosystem fragmentation, and increased noise and light pollution, which disrupt natural behaviours. Clopton Quarter and the Welcombe Hills serve as key ecological areas, supporting diverse flora and fauna. Inappropriate development weakens connectivity between wildlife corridors, reducing species resilience. Planning policies must ensure buffer zones, safeguard green infrastructure, and prioritise biodiversity net gain, preventing irreversible damage to protected landscapes and ensuring long-term ecological sustainability.

The plan should also protect established wildlife corridors connected to Local Reserves and wildlife sites. The protection of these sites from noise and light pollution as well as destruction of ecosystems and habitats due to inappropriate development locations need to be taken into consideration.

I say NO because your large settlements housing plans are 180 degrees opposed to this policy. Small developments allow nature highways to survive. Large settlements leave a wasteland for nature and the public who may welcome our natural fauna and flora to flourish within and around our communities.

Whilst I agree with the SWLP protection of sites, I would like to note the irreplaceable loss of biodiversity if farms on Hareway Lane X1 are replaced with industrial and housing developments. The land supports protected species such as newts, badgers, owls, muntjac and fallow deer, woodpeckers and red kites. Hareway Lane is flanked by hedgerow and wildlife inhabitants wander aimlessly from one side to the other, hence existing residents only drive 30 mph. Replacement of the single track lane and build would destroy this unique environment. Any biodiverse net gain would be impossible, merely wiping out existing wildlife 100%.
