Extra traffic will increase congestion and result in safety concerns.

Access to the site off Primrose Hill will lead to serious congestion, particularly at busy times.
Map 2 shows that the whole area between the A46 and A429 is assessed as being potentially suitable for development. This part of the site, then, is just the start of building on the whole area.
Loes Farm has medieval ridge and furrows which are clearly visible, of historical value and need protecting.
What access will there be from the top of Woodloes Lane and hence Wade Grove and Eliot Close. Will this be part of a cycle/pedestrian route to Woodloes and Aylesford Schools?
Wade Grove already experiences poor water pressure problems on hot days - will this be exacerbated by the new development?
As an alternative to these 180 homes Council should ensure all existing properties are made habitable and unused brownfield land is developed.

Object to building on green belt land at Loes Farm:
-the area has mature trees that will be lost
-access to the countryside will be gone forever
-traffic congestion on Primorose Hill will increase
-the rural approach to Warwick will be spoilt and should be protected.
-there are alternative locations throughout the town which are derelict and the building a Pottertons has never been completed.

The habitat Bio-diversity Report (2008) shows that Loes Farm is of significant value in ecological terms due to:
- anthills for Yellow Meadow Ants
- mature trees such as Oaks, Lime, Sweet Chestnut and Beech
- ridge and furrow,
- water bodies,
- species rich hedgerows, and
- old pasture grassland.

Development will affect our already busy roads, wherever the access is located. Extra resourses will be needed for schools and other services. Warwick should be maintained as a county town and its green areas should be maintained otherwise it will be connected to Kenilworth, Leamington and Coventry.

The proposal for developing Loes Farm will destroy natural habitats and wildlife. It will add to congestion and noise pollution. Coventry Road will not be able to cope with the additional traffic.
The site is high ground and uneven and therefore difficult to develop.
Green belt should be retained and alternative solutions to housing found.
This site should not be developed for travellers at the expense of green belt, particulalrly as it would create an isolated community with limited access to amenities.

Alternatives on brownfield sites should be used rather than green belt which once lost will be lost for all future generations.
We should protect the ancient tree in the area.

Object on the grounds of impact on wildlife - the area is very rich in wildlife including birds, bats, small mammals, lizards, moths. This is because of the natural corridor provided by the lane, trees and hedgerows. Once lost this will be lost forever.

-there are ancient ridge and furrow field patterns and the site is adjacent to Gaveston Monument and Guys Cliffe House
-it would destroy the natural beauty of this approach to Warwick
-it would make further encroachment in to the land adjacent to Coventry Road more likely

There are no exceptional circumstances.
This area is a haven for wildlife and includes valued ancient trees and hedgerows.
The proposals could ultimately lead to Leek Wootton and Warwick merging.
The site is prominent when approaching Warwick from the north and will be an eyesore.
Business concerns should not be put before protecting the countryside.

There would be destruction of the green belt and re-classification of farm land, destruction of 17th Century hedgerow,removal of public right of way and urban sprawl with Warwick merging into other nearby settlements such as Leek Wooton.
There would be loss of ancient trees and the area could not sustain an increase in population with crime up and the loss of our fire and police stations.
The roads would become even more congested and it is unclear why land judged not suitable for development in 2008 is now being considered.

This sites fulfills the 5 purposes of the green belt. Development here will result in uneccessary destruction of the green belt.

Guys Cliffe is an importnat historical landmark and is designnated as such. It should be protected and development at Loes Farm will damage this histric asset

Woodloes Lane is an impotnat recreational route and is well used. The proposed housing will mean this is lost

The proposals will undermine the economic vitality of Warwick which is based on its hoistoric environment and tourism. To surround this by modern housing will diminish the environment and therefore the economy.
The proposals are likely to impact negatively on the viability of Hintons Nursery and the proposals for the Guys Cliffe Walled Garden.
The proposals will have a significant impact on biodiveristy (including mature trees, grass species, insects, bats, newts) in an area which has a rich ecology. This is inconsitent with the NPPF and the Council's own Green Space Strategy.

The [proposals will result in urban sprawl as the development is concentrated o the edge of towns. For Loes Farm this is particualrly important as this sites is hill top and will be very visible and will threaten the identiyty of Leek Wootton.

Development here will increase the flooding issues already experienced at Hinton's Nursery.

Coventry Rd/Primose Hill have had many accidents and the proposals are likely to inceasde traffoic here and damage air quality. There is nothing set out in the plan as to how this would be mitigated.

This land is good quality agricultural land and although the area is questionable in terms of agricultral viabilityit couls and should still be used to grow food. The proposals will make agriculture even less viable on the remaining open land.

Proposals represent urban encroachment in to countryside and green belt
It is an open and historic landscape which is important for the setting of the town - a unique area that would be ruined forever
It is another step towards coalescence between Kenilworth and Warwick and would blur the boundary and distinctiveness of Leek Wootton.
There is already congestion at peak hours and these proposals would increase traffic. The proposals will make these roads more dangerous. The infrastructure will not cope and there are better alternatives where the impact would be less significant.

The area is rich in wildlife (newts, badgers and bats) and the proposals are not consistent with the NPPF or WDC's Habitat assessment. It is also an atractive and valuable landscape. Development will damage historic trees and hedgerows which are protected. The site is close to the historic monument at Gaveston Cross - development could compromise the setting of this.

I object to the plan for a number of reasons. The proposed site is Green Belt and development would undoubtedly destroy the local habitat. Development would destroy the significant biodiversity of the site. The Millennium Way Walk also crosses the site and development would reduce the ability to walk and enjoy the rural environment. Development at the site could potentially lead to Warwick and Leek Wootton merging. Development could make traffic in the area much worse. A larger population in the area would increase crime and with the loss of Warwick Police Station, this could not be controlled.

Transport - Increased pressure on the local road network. Access to the site would be extremely dangerous. Road pollution will be increased.
Local infrastructure - Additional pressure on local services. The Hospital is not adequate to deal with increased numbers. The local schools do not have the required capacity to cope. There will not be sufficient capacity in the emergency services to deal with this enlarged area.
Green Belt - Irreversible destruction to the green belt, especially when brown field land is available. Destruction of the ecology of the area. Destruction of the historic environment. Loss of social access to green spaces and leisure.
Flooding and water - Potential for increased flodding in the south-east corner of the site and Hintons Nursery.
