This location should not be considered because it is designated Green Belt land which provides an essential buffer zone between Kenilworth and Leek Wootton.

The local roads could not cope with the extra traffic which would result. The traffic and resulting pollution implications for Leek Wootton would be intolerable.

Warwick hospital is already over-burdened. Local schools, health centres and dental practices are already oversubscribed.

Kenilworth is already suffering detriment due to HS2, which include :
ongoing severe disruptions to normal living during building of HS2,
destruction of natural habitats,
destruction of trees, which are a hallmark of Kenilworth
Hence we do not agree that SG04 should be considered for inclusion within the plan.

This totally unnecessary ill thought out proposal is either a symptom of the desperation of politicians running out of ideas to create growth, or a symptom of corruption in high places. It should not need to be said that it will 1. ruin the best area of kenilworth. 2. destroy agricultural land that will be essential to grow food in the future. 3. cause massive amounts of global warming (sustainable development/green growth is an oxymoron). 4. increase the general unsustainability (if possible) of the uk. 5. be a precedent for even more housing here. This needs to stop now

No exceptional circumstances to justify removal of green belt in accordance with NPPF. Other sites more suitable.
Negative impact on Landscape with historical significance (Kenilworth’s castle), obstructing views.
Foul drainage already inadequate on Rouncil Lane.
No GP, transport, Secondary school within 20-minutes. Unlikely to integrate into Kenilworth leading to ‘crime estate’. Schools already oversubscribed.
Loss of productive farmland.
Adverse effect on access to well-used countryside footpaths, affecting wellbeing.
SG04 is the 2nd lowest housing capacity yield of all growth areas.
Influx of traffic along Rouncil Lane already used by lorries + increased traffic from new housing (sixth form)

These are critical recreational and outdoor areas for public use. There are already many areas of land in development in Kenilworth. Kenilworth is known for its rural and natural beauty which we are losing. There are not enough facilities to go around for even more housing; schools and GP surgeries are overstretched, and the roads cannot cope with more traffic. I have walked on the footpaths in the area identified almost every day for 15 years and see much biodiversity, including pine martins, wood peckers, badgers, and even herons nesting in the treetops. I am strongly against this proposal.

The proposed development threatens Kenilworth’s green belt, which should only be built on in exceptional cases. Two housing projects have already been completed, and underutilised brownfield sites (Old Schools), costing the town £2 million annually, should be prioritised instead. The site is home to protected wildlife, including bats, owls, and newts, contradicting national environmental policies. Infrastructure concerns include worsening drainage issues and increased traffic on dangerous learner driver routes. The town’s green belt has already suffered from HS2 construction, and further loss is unjustified when brownfield alternatives exist, offering a more sustainable solution without harming protected land or species.

This is green belt land protecting boundaries between Kenilworth and Leek Wooton. Loss of productive farmland and green space/footpath into countryside heavily utilised by walkers and runners. Significant impact on the setting of a grade 1 listed building and an ancient monument, Kenilworth castle. The site is visible from the castle itself and will disrupt carefully preserved and protected landscape. Increased car dependence due to lack of '20 minute neighbourhood' with no amenities within walking distance of site. Over reliance on cars will result in further congestion and pollution along Warwick road. No public transport in walking distance to site.

Increased traffic on Rouncil Lane, Rounds Hill, and nearby roads will harm both access and quality of life for residents who cherish the area’s views and historic footpaths leading to the castle. These roads also form part of the National Cycle Route, meaning more traffic will directly endanger cyclists’ safety. Protecting the greenbelt is essential to preserving the separation between Kenilworth, Leek Wootton, Beausale, and Warwick. Without it, these distinct communities risk merging, eroding both their identity and the area’s rural character. Thoughtful consideration must be given to safeguarding this important landscape for future generations.

Inappropriate development of green belt land:

Large amount of brownfield site land available for development in Kenilworth with upkeep costs whilst being derelict (old kenilworth school, old sixth form site as stand alone development without including greenbelt land).

Destroys beautiful countryside already impacted by HS2.

Exacerbate existing sewage smell on Rounds Hill.

Insufficient road and overdrawn utilities access to proposed site.

Development would uproot hundreds year old oak tree with a root network extending under already existing housing on the sites border, causing damage to existing property.

Protected wildlife on proposed site of bats, skylarks, owls and newts in ponds.

The proposed development at SG04 threatens green belt land, which should only be removed in exceptional circumstances. This development risks the erosion of Warwickshire’s countryside and the merging of villages, particularly Leek Wootton and Kenilworth. it would significantly impact the setting of Kenilworth Castle, a Grade 1 listed building. The castle is visible from the site, and development would harm its historic landscape, potentially diminishing the visitor experience and reducing tourism revenue. Development at Sg04 conflicts with national planning policies that prioritize protecting heritage assets and the use of green belt land.

This area is within view of Kenilworth Castle, a grade 1 listed building, and will impact the cultural heritage of our historic town negatively. Green belt land should not be built on. If the plan ran for the minimum of 15 years there would be no need to build here as housing targets could be met without touching the green belt. No sustainability survey of this area has been undertaken, building here will promote car use. There is no additional infrastructure planned for this site and it will put intolerable pressure on the roads and services of Kenilworth.

Kenilworth has lost significant amounts of Greenbelt protection which is changing its sense of place. Losing further swathes in this area also risks subsuming Leek Wootton.

In the last plan Kenilworth took a large number of houses and sacrificed lots of greenbelt. With the way that the town is configured, with traffic pushed through the bottle neck of the Warwick Road, adding additional housing risk the town becoming a congested mess, pushing further traffic onto side roads.

This site is also within view of Kenilworth Castle, spoiling the view form one of the most important cultural assets in the county.

This is on green belt land. We should only build here if there are no other options and we can see in this plan there are many other options. This development will be visible from the castle and ruins the unique character of Kenilworth. There are also many walks through the fields here which are enjoyed by all who value the access to green space. We also do not have the infrastructure to support this and this is far from the town centre. This increases car dependency and will strain our shops, schools and doctors.

SG04 is an unsustainable site which fulfils the purpose of Green Belt and building on it would see the urban sprawl of Kenilworth moving to join with Leek Wootton.

The Sustainability Appraisal scores are incorrect as SG04 should be rated red for both Cultural Heritage and Landscape.

The 1960s estate stopped where it does so as to not be visually intrusive from Kenilworth Castle, whereas almost the entirety of plot 140 is visible from the castle and would therefore significantly impact on the setting of a Grade I listed building.

Plots 140 and 177 should have 'red' Landscape scores.

SG04 zone South of Kenilworth is the most important area of greenbelt remaining around Kenilworth.

Displacement of wildlife from HS2 and the large volume of building around Thickthorn, Glasshouse Lane, Burton Green

No exceptional circumstances to justify SG04 out of Green Belt.
All SWLP housing targets can be met without any Green Belt reduction.
SG04 would reduce the Leek Wootton gap to 500m if ID603 used.
A large proportion of SG04 affects the Historic Castle setting.
Landscape sensitivity assessment is not a valid comparison with Stratford as assments done years apart.
Lack of employment in dormitary town Kenilworth already heavily car dependent.
SG04 increases car use-not sustainable.
All SG04 heavily impacts Warwick Rd. Unsustainable congestion.
Due to size and distance from town cannot meet 20min neighbourhood. Demonstrable by Google maps walking route.
