Where are the planned roads, schools and services including land available for allotments. Warwick Gates are still waiting for the school promised by Gallagher when they built there. Who are the people and companies wishing to move here?

If any more development goes ahead, the area will be just one large housing estate. Warwickshire is supposedly a pleasant area to look at and live in. There are empty industrial units in this area now so do not add to it by building more.

STRONGLY OBJECT-this will wreck Tachbrook Valley and threaten rural setting of Bishops Tachbrook village. Harbury Lane is a strong boundary between the urban and country landscapes and should not be breached. The proposed Area of Restraint should be extended right up to Harbury Lane.

Land at Lower Heathcote Farm
The Parish Council believes that:
1. To achieve the employment land to support the target housing requirement of the WMRA, it is unnecessary to develop this Grade 2 agricultural land because there are sufficient sites available on brownfield, lower grade green land and sites at the edge of the city of Coventry that are more appropriate and from which a choice can be made.
2. It is not necessary to re classify arable land for employment before all long-neglected employment land has been fully utilized and that it is imperative that this grade 2 farmland is not given over to development
3. It would lose a significant piece of high landscape quality Warwickshire countryside that is effectively much larger than the plan would suggest being one side of a valley that falls between 45 and 60ft (75mAod down to 55m) down to the historic Tach Brook that was part of the boundary that separated the Saxon Hwicce tribe from the Mercian tribe in north Warwickshire. To build on one side of the valley would ruin the aspect from the other side.
4. It will destroy the Tach Brook valley buffer between the town and village to dimensions that are too small to be effective. It would be particularly disastrous if the land is covered with factories and other employment land detritus.

In terms of land allocations, we do feel that insufficient consideration has been given to the wider regional picture and that too much details is provided on the strategic sites. We feel that there are other more suitable sites available and that at this stage the plan should be more general in terms of its direction for growth without site specific details being put forward. If these are not deliverable, as we understand has yet to be proved, then the plan may generally not be deliverable and sustainable.

Do not believe the Council has sufficient information to allocate land for development at this stage. The evidence base is not robust enough to establish the most appropriate locations for growth.

Support and can deliver a proportion of employment land as part of the development of land at Lower Heathcote Farm to deliver a sustainable mixed urban extension. It is logical that this element of development be located directly opposite the existing Gallaghers Business Park to create an employment core.

The land at Old Budbrooke Road offers the following potential advantages which are not offered by this site:

- Much of the site is previously developed land;
- The site has little agricultural value;
- The site is not part of the wider landscape;
- Highly sustainable location within easy walking distance of Warwick Parkway;
- Easy pedestrian access to Warwick/Leamington via the canal;
- Well screened from Old Budbrooke Road by existing vegetation;
- Access can be gained from the site frontage.

Insufficient work has been done to date to be certain that the Preferred Options can accommodate the housing numbers and infrastructure. The Core Strategy should therefore contain flexibility to allow for the appropriate planning of the area, and therefore suggest the inclusion of the land south of Gallows Hill as an employment option.

If it was inappropriate to put employment on the Preferred Option sites it would provide some flexibility. It could also accommodate elements of social infrastructure serving other growth areas.

Do not accept that the development of the land would affect the setting of Castle Park.
