Alternative Sites Consultation

Representation ID: 45050

Received: 08/04/2010

Respondent: Warwickshire County Council [Gypsy and Traveller Team]

Representation Summary:

There is an acknowledged shortfall for provision of Gypsy and Traveller sites, both temporary and permanent within the District.
Given the number of unauthorised encampments within the District in the last year, the need for a transit site is considered urgent.

Full text:

The fact that there is an acknowledged shortfall of sites in the area is an important determining factor. Government guidance in Cir 1/2006 states that eveerybody should have the opportunity of living in a decent home and highlights the failure of the planning system in providing enough private gypsy sites. Authorities are required to have regard to the Gypsy and Traveller Assessment and other factors such as the number of unauthorised encampments and availability of authorised sites.

The GTAA highlighted the number of pitches required by 2012 yet the adoption of this document with regard to site provision is April 2013. The number of unauthorised encampments over the last year was 20, involving 153 caravans/families and this does not include any which were on private or WDC land [statistics for Warwickshire County Council Only], therefore the need for a transit site is considered urgent and if WDC are not going to adopt the strategy until 2013 this will effect both the settled and traveller communities.

It is considered that the delay in adopting sites will cause unrest and may involve families challenging through the appeal system for sites.

I think that more should be done to incorporate brown-field or previously developed land before building on green fields. I also think that more should be done to disperse the development through the District rather than burdening the infrastructure in just one place.

I think that more should be done to incorporate brown-field or previously developed land before building on green fields. I also think that more should be done to disperse the development through the District rather than burdening the infrastructure in just one place. For those reasons, I express the following:
- I support the development proposal for Kenilworth Wardens and Woodside Training Centre, Kenilworth. This seems a sensible extension to the site at Thickthorn upon previously-developed land.
- I do not support the development proposal for South of Sydenham.
- I do not support the development proposal at Glebe Farm, Cubbington, but I would comment that development of the north-western corner adjacent to Cubbington would be acceptable.
- I do not support the development proposal at Loes Farm (north Warwick), but I would comment that a small development close to the Saxon Mill would be acceptable.
- I do not support the development proposal for Hurst Farm, Burton Green, but I would comment that a small extension of the University of Warwick would be acceptable.
- I do not support the development of all the land around Baginton Airport, but I would comment that development of the large brown-field site south of the airport would be acceptable.

I am of an age when the implementation of these planned development will have little effect on my personal situation. However, the sustenance of established communities is very close to my heart.

I consider that there are immense benefits to incremental expansion. With this in mind it will be effective to consider the following alternative options.
- The proposal to develop the Kenilworth Thickthorn area, in a modest way appears to be a logical extension to existing development.
- I do not support the blanked development proposal for the South of Sydenham, but I submit that development north of the bridleway to Radford Semele would be acceptable.
- I do not support the development proposal at Glebe Farm, Cubbington. However, development of the north-western corner adjacent to Cubbington would be acceptable.
- I oppose the proposal to develop at Loes Farm (north Warwick). However, I believe that a small development close to the Saxon Mill would be appropriate.
- The envisaged development at Hurst Farm, Burton Green, would, I believe, be detrimental to the overall area, but I do accept that a small extension of the University of Warwick would be appropriate.
- Regarding the land around Baginton Airport, I oppose, but I do accept that development of the large brown-field site south of the airport would be acceptable.

Respondent: Rev. J.G. Lister

Representation Summary:

The Alternative Sites still do not address the problem of building on greenfield sites. More should be done to take into account the many brown-field or previously developed sites which are available in the District.
All of the Alternative sites are too large. I argue that it is cheaper for developers to build on very large plots and therefore they make more profit but people do not benefit from such large anonymous developments.
I also think that more should be done to disperse the development through the District rather than burdening the infrastructure in just one place.

I have noted that Alternative Sites have been proposed by developers but they still do not address the problem of building on greenfield sites. More should be done to take into account the many brown-field or previously developed sites which are available in the District, before greenfield land is even considered.
All of the Alternative sites are too large and for whose benefit? I argue that it is cheaper for developers to build on very large plots and therefore they make more profit. I also argue that people do not benefit from such large anonymous developments. Therefore the developers' needs come before the people who have to live on the developments.
I also think that more should be done to disperse the development through the District rather than burdening the infrastructure in just one place.
For those reasons, I would like your department to consider the following:
- I support the development proposal for Kenilworth Wardens and Woodside Training Centre, Kenilworth. This seems a sensible extension to the site at Thickthorn upon previously-developed land.
- I do not support the development proposal for South of Sydenham, but I would comment that the development north of the bridleway to Radford Semele would be acceptable.
- I do not support the development proposal at Glebe Farm, Cubbington. Cubbington and Lillington would lose their individual identities. I propose that a small development of the north-western corner adjacent to Cubbington be considered.
- I certainly do not support the development proposal at Loes Farm which would have the effect of almost merging with Leek Wooton - another village's identity lost. Instead I would suggest a small development close to the Saxon Mill would be considered.
- I do not support the development proposal for Hurst Farm, Burton Green, but I would comment that a small extension of the University of Warwick would be acceptable.
- I do not support the development of all the land around Baginton Airport, but I would comment that development of the large brown-field site south of the airport would be acceptable.

Representation Summary:

Development of brown-field sites should be utilized before green-field areas. Development should be dispersed throughout the District rather than concentrated on one area with resulting pressure on the infrastructure.
The dispersal of development will more closely meet the WDC vision that "the District should be a mix of historic towns and villages, set within a rural landscape of open farmland and parklands that have developed and grown in a way which has protected their individual characteristics and identities."
Development between Warwick, Whitnash and Bishop's Tachbrook will destroy the individual identities. Furthermore, destruction of valuable sources of food and our Warwickshire landscape.

Representation Summary:

I support Bishop Tachbrooks Parish Council's Alternative Option to use smaller areas and as much brown field as possible. There are still many pockets of land standing barren that could be developed and would make little difference to the communities. but would amount to a considerable number towards the overall need for this area.
We should be offering more support to farmers to make the best possible use of their land instead of encouraging them to sell to developers.
I hope that the Council are considering public concern with regard to 'Villages' remaining communities and to preserving as much countryside as possible.

Full text:

I feel able to support the Alternative Option put forward by Bishop's Tachbrook Parish Council to use smaller areas and using as much brown field and low value green belt as possible. In addition to this 'Alternative Option' there are still a great many smaller pockets of land in towns and villages standing barren that could be purchased by the council for the development of two to ten dwellings which would make little difference to the communities, but would amount to a considerable number towards the overall need for this area.
We are constantly being reminded that in future years there will be insufficient food throughout the world and with research taking place to find ways of growing crops without the use of land why would we want to build on crop growing arable land. We should be offering more support to farmers to make the best possible use of their land instead of encouraging them to sell to developers.
I understand the 'Alternative Option' has been "warmly endorsed by Whitnash, Barford and Budbrook" and feel sure the majority of people who would have been affected by the sites proposed by the developer will be in support of this 'Alternative Option' too. Hopefully Warwick District Council will also favour this 'Alternative Option'.
I close with the hope that the District Council planners are considering public concern sympathetically with regard to 'Villages' remaining smaller communities and to preserving as much countryside as possible for future generations.

The new proposals suffer from the same disadvantages as the preferred options, though perhaps to a lesser degree. I feel strongly that maximum use of brownfield land should be a paramount criterion and that development should be spread more widely across the district. I have reservations about the overall number of houses being allegedly necessary.
I believe Bishop's Tachbrook Parish Council's Alternative Option to be a good alternative which deals with a number of the issues.
I object to the alternative proposals in the form put forward by the developers, except for the proposal at Kenilworth which use previously developed land.

In particular, I still feel strongly that maximum use of brownfield land should be a paramount criterion and that development should be spread more widely across the district. I have reservations about the overall number of houses being allegedly necessary.
I have had the opportunity to study the Alternative Option developed by Bishop's Tachbrook Parish Council which I understand is supported by Whitnash, Barford and Budbrook. I believe this to be a well thought through alternative which deals with a number of the issues which concern myself and other local residents. I fully support it and would hope that you study it in detail as part of the current consultation.
In summary therefore:
I object to the alternative proposals in the form put forward by the developers, except for the proposal for Kenilworth Gardens and Woodside Training Centre which use previously developed land.
I fully support the Alternative Option proposed by Bishop Tachbrook Parish Council.

Respondent: Mr R.L.K. Drew

Representation Summary:

It is very bad that nearly all of these alternatives are greenfield sites; I strongly believe that brownfield sites, of which there are over 23 hectares within towns and villages, should not only figure, more in the proposals but should take precedence. Besides the contributions that greenfield sites can make to the Nations future food security, they are also of immense amenity value. I also believe these developments will overburden the physical infrastructure - smaller areas spread around the district would not have that effect.

Full text:

I still do not believe that you have even attempted to make a valid case for the scale of the development you propose, a scale which appears to be based on figures plucked out of the air rather than on reasoned calculations on what the area needs and can comfortably sustain. Furthermore, no account seems to have been taken of properties in the district that are standing empty or derelict, even though the refurbishment of such countrywide, has been urged by the Audit Office. Also, and most puzzlingly, you are persisting in ignoring the results of your own 'Options for Growth' consultation exercise of May 2008.
It is very bad that nearly all of these alternatives are greenfield sites; I strongly believe that brownfield sites, of which there are over 23 hectares within towns and villages, should not only figure, more in the proposals but should take precedence. Besides the contributions that greenfield sites can, as Hilary Benn has pointed out, make to the Nations future food security, they are also of immense amenity value, and surely these very important considerations mean that every possible effort should be made to conserve them. I also believe that a few large developments will overburden the physical infrastructure in those places where they are made, but more, smaller areas spread around the district would not have that effect.
These considerations lead me to support the development proposed on previously developed land at Thickthorn Kenilworth. However, I cannot support the large developments proposed South of Sydenham; at Glebe Farm, Cubbington; at Loes Farm, North Warwick; at Hurst Farm, Burton Green; or at Baginton Airport, though smaller developments at these sites would be acceptable. The Sydenham and Cubbington developments threaten the village statuses of Radford Semele and Cubbington respectively, and would lead to those villages being absorbed into the Warwick/ Leamington conurbation. If the one at Burton Green includes Halls of Residence for the University then housing in the local towns would be freed for families. If, Heaven forbid, the large development at Sydenham goes ahead, and the school is rebuilt, guarantees should be obtained from the developer that the school buildings should be of the highest quality in design, materials and construction, to meet the needs of education in the 21st Century, and steps should be taken to ensure that the developer honours this commitment.
These smaller developments are more in line with Option 5 from your 'Options for Growth' public consultation exercise, and are described in more detail in Bishop's Tachbrook Parish Council's 'Alternative Option'. I believe it is essential that you read that document to inform your deliberations before you consider your final 'Core Strategy'. You should also acknowledge that by virtue of the fact Option 5 had by car the most public support it should be given due respect and weight, rather being dismissed out of hand.

Representation Summary:

The advent of 6 additional sites is helpful as it should enable greater dispersal of new housing across the District, but not in several big lumps, rather developments of 150/200 dwellings maximum.

On the theme of dispersal, I would support a change of use from commercial/ employment to housing for the Gallaghers site located between Heathcote Lane and Harbury Lane. This has lain empty for over 10 years and should be developed in Phase 1. A mixed development of 200/250 houses with S106 provision for retirement homes and a primary school to serve the whole Warwick Gates Community.

The advent of 6 additional sites is helpful as it should enable greater dispersal of new housing across the District, but not in several big lumps, rather developments of 150/200 dwellings maximum. This restrained approach could work well at the sites at South of Sydenham; Glebe Farm, Cubbington; and Loes Farm, North of Warwick.
The potential at Bagington is greater; 1400 houses could be located here and fast tracked to take pressure off all greenfield sites elsewhere in the District in Phase 1.
AS5 in the area of Burton Green should not be developed for housing, but should be used to increase substantially student accommodation located conveniently to the university. This will in time release back into the market residential properties in Leamington, particularly which currently are housing students. This shift should be a specific objective of the Core Strategy.

More should be done to incorporate brown field or previously developed land before building on greenfield. Development should be dispersed through the district rather than burdening the infrastructure in one place.
