The SWLP needs to have a process/policy whereby current deficiencies against the objectives of the current Core Strategy are addressed to new considerations.

Inland waterways can play an important role in mitigating the impact of climate change and can help to reduce the levels of greenhouse gas emissions. For example, canal water can be used to help provide low-carbon heating and cooling solutions to existing and new build properties adjacent to our canals as well as providing options for surface water discharges from new developments without increasing the risk of flooding of adjacent land. New development proposals near to waterways should consider the feasibility of such solutions in minimising their impacts on climate change. Prospective developers should contact the Canal & River Trust’s Utilities Team to discuss the potential for utilising canal water in heating and cooling systems to identify such opportunities near to our waterways; within South Warwickshire we operate 80km of canals, comprising parts of the North Stratford, South Stratford, Oxford and Grand Union Canals.

Preference towards option C9.1a, but there may be site/development circumstances where it is difficult to have less than 50% of the wider site to consist of paved/hard surfaced areas, particularly in urban or pdl situations. No further comments.

The Councils should be bold and pro active in setting out a wide range of policies to address all aspects. The evidence is available to justify it. We need to act now.

Planting on developments regardless of size should be closely monitored. Planting plans on new developments should be detailed with the list of plants to be used, their age and size and this should be monitored and enforced. A maintenance plan for this planting during the period of time it takes to become established should also be included. This should be an essential part of planning permission.

Please do not build anything on our green belt/green spaces. This development must stop. We must start protecting our landscape and habitats. Surely this needs revisiting.

All development (new buildings) must increase biodiversity on site. Any offsetting must be within the South Warwickshire district - no point in offsetting abroad or elsewhere in the country. Biodiversity gain is also a gain for peoples wellbeing, the landscape etc.

In respect of Wootten Wawen and the surrounding area, development is welcomed in order to bring into the village younger people due to the majority of the current population being more of the older generation. Young families with children will support the viability of Wotton Wawen primary school. Furthermore, having a greater population will also sustain the local businesses in the area. Notwithstanding the above comments, the amount of homes must be limited to a maximum of 50. There must be a careful balance as introducing more homes will also put a strain on the current infrastructure, which includes, but not limited to the following:- - The roads through Wootton Wawen have junctions which have very limited visibility on the A3400, i.e., Pettiford Lane, Pennyford Lane, turning into Wootton Hall. Despite the speed limit being 30 miles per hour, cars drive in excess of this limit and there have been a number of accidents. - The state of the roads in Wootton Wawen are not in good repair. More homes will only result in ‘rat-runs’ being created and will damage those minor roads. - Wootton Wawen has a railway station however, there is no car park which services the station. Whilst it may be anticipated that people living in the village who wish to commute will walk to the station, in practice that will not be the case. Therefore, there will be a build-up of traffic around the station and the surrounding roads causing a disruption to those living near to the station. Furthermore, the roads leading up to the station are narrow roads with junctions which have limited visibility. - There will inevitability be a build up of traffic which will increase the road traffic noise at the busiest of times. - There is no GP surgery in Wootton Wawen, the nearest surgery is in Henley-in-Arden which will increase traffic flow (see above). - Wootton Wawen has flood plains, where more houses will place a strain on the drainage infrastructure This is evident with the increase of homes on Pennyford Lane where at the wettest part of the year, the lane gets flooded. In addition to the above comments, the following should also be taken into account: - Wootton Wawen has a great deal of history. Having a large development will have an effect on the setting of the great deal of listed buildings within the village. - The Green Belt status of Wootton Wawen. A larger development will only decrease the wildlife areas in the village.

Although attractive to the street scene, planting trees within a verge in residential areas could cause problems in the long term eg. root damage to pavement and road, leaf drop and general maintenance. It would be better to site trees on mass on designated green areas and around suds.
