Lodge Farm could provide 800 homes. Kings Lane, Finham could provide at least 2000 houses toward WDC total. Stoneleigh Business Park and Bagington Airport could provide excellent mixed employment/recreational/housing

Options: Coventry Airport - loss of passenger flights, expansion of Birmingham Airport; surely Coventry no longer needs airport.
North Leamington Community School - Not in core strategy. Should be considered for Coventry overspill. 'Where development cannot be accommodated immediately to south of Coventry, it will be directed to closest urban area' - this means additional development on edge of Kenilworth and some on north side of Warwick and Leamington.

Object to sites at Bishops Tachbrook/Warwick Gates area:
Proposal makes extensive use of green sites where these are in short supply. Surely more effective to spread development out over wider number of sites. Adding 10 or 20 properties onto existing sites would spread burden placed on infrastructure, minimising congestion and reducing impact on beautiful part of UK.
Housing needs can still be met - suggest Peugeot factory at Ryton.

This perhaps is the strongest part of the Strategy. Indeed it perhaps receives too much emphasis. Absolute numbers are something of a red herring, because development will continue beyond 2026, so whether we reach 10,800 by 2024 say, or 2028 is irrelevant. However, the huge impact of providing 20,800 would be another matter. How robust is the proposed housing strategy in this context. Would it still be relevant, or would a massive increase in numbers demand a complete rethink? The answers are not clear.

No green field development, only brown field or rejuvenation of existing areas. Otherwise no new housing. This will not be the last time development will take place it will expand and expand further in the future years if it is allowed to start.

Land south of Finham should never be used for housing as it's not necessary, traffic and noise would be a nuisance and the infrastructure can't serve current situations creating gridlocked roads which would be unsafe for the schools in the area.

Schools would be unable to accept any increase in numbers from new housing - especially as new housing would not even be in the same county as well as local amenities.

Loss of farm land and green belt land is unacceptable. Wildlife will be destroyed. Area is prone to flooding in parts because of Finham Brook.

The locations appear to be based on what developers and land owners have suggested. Other sites should be considered, e.g. Princes Drive industrial estate in Kenilworth, which could be relocated to Thickthorn leaving the existing site free for housing.

Contrary to government plans to provide homes where they are needed. Not great demands for homes in Coventry - house prices are low. Demand is for rural areas and young people wanting to stay in villages in which they were born. Small scale village development needed to address this.

Brown field sites can be reused but once greenbelt/farmland built on, it cannot be recovered.
Unused brown field sites - what is current brown field site capacity? Where are they? Coventry airport for sale and no longer viable. It is next to cleared ex-factory complex at Ryton which is earmarked for industrial development. Construction companies may prefer to use open countryside to build to maximise profits.
Kings Hill area does have 4.5 ft. diameter sewage pipe carrying waste from Canley to Severn Trent Sewage Works at bottom of Kings Hill and there is major pipeline carrying fuel from South West to Northern Britain.
Vitally important to maintain green corridors and that means careful management and control of land use, population density and social welfare provision.

The urban area of Leamington -Warwick is undoubtedly the best strategic location for the District's new sustainable growth. The Strategy is based on long-standing, robust, sound and defensible town plannin principles. In particular, the two identified 'Preferred' Location Options - west of Europa and south of Harbury Lane to the south of the two towns, are fully supported.

Concerns about the possible fringe development "adjacent to built -up area of Coventry".

I wish to object to the imposition of excessive housing numbers on Warwick District. The actual housing requirement for Warwick District is 4,692 affordable dwellings as shown on page 13 of the Core Strategy document and is to meet the needs of the current population.
Population growth is driven by successful housebuilding on low cost green field sites facilitating in-migration at the expense of the regeneration of the major urban areas of Birmingham and Coventry.
Such growth should not be encouraged.

Don't agree new houses needed but it is time other areas in the district, particularly along A46 to north and villages played their part once brownfield sites have been utilised and only if there is still a need.
Coventry airport for sale and should be used to take more of Warwickshire's allocation.
North Leamington School not detailed in preferred option as in green belt and not suitable for development yet Thickthorn is in Core Strategy and is also in green belt. As a former school with good links to A46 and easily accessible part of town, it should be considered before anything else.
Most popular sites from previous consultation no longer 'suitable' and most popular were south of Coventry at Finham, south of Coventry at Baginton, south of Coventry at Kirby Corner and east of Stratford Road, Warwick.
Look at regeneration opportunities in towns and bring forward brownfield sites. Be realistic about investment and don't put forward new areas to develop when others have been vacant for years.
