When looking at the map it is quite clear that SG07 joins up with the proposed new settlement identified as B1. This is totally unacceptable as it creates a sprawl which would join SG07 and B1 to Warwick town. Currently, this area is not at all well served by road infrastructure. Traffic would become much heavier around the area on roads with limited capacity. It is also quite clear that there would be extremely high costs attached to further developing the road networks and junctions to try to mitigate congestion. There are already traffic queues at Stanks Island.

* To add SG07 on to the area identified as B1 makes the whole area utterly oversized and will negatively impact on Warwick, our historic town.
* Joining the areas together masks the real issues that will occur to our local infrastructure no matter how hard one tries to ameliorate matters
* Existing highway structure poorly serves the locality with B4439 , Warwick Rd, requiring new junctions, further issues relate to A4177, B'ham Rd, close to Hatton Park, Union View and, critically, Stanks Island which would need a massive upgrade at enormous costs. Without this how will people get there?

* B1/SG07, ranked 2nd in your SWLP draft, has been checked and found to be inaccurate in places or contradictory.
* Desktop analysis has led Lepus Consulting to poor judgements/conclusions
* The Lepus Consulting SA Framework contains errors. Area designated B1 is in Ancient Arden.
* Above Framework suggests that Settlement B1 contains preveiously developed land and that's false.
* Above Framework is inconsistent regarding health. Also, shows no clarity regarding distances to medical facilities within area B1. In fact distances measured are inaccurate.
* SA Objective 11 - Hatton Station is not an accessible station!

Massive negative impact on Hatton Station residents.
Roads - too narrow causes significant traffic issues
Hatton Station - approaches are by narrow lanes, difficult for two cars to pass, insufficient parking
Hatton Station sits in Ancient Arden Land - should be conserved as it's the only piece of ancient countryside in Warwickshire
Flawed data in consultation doc. eg: Education. C.13.4.1. We are not within a sustainable distance to a Higher Education facility
Active travel issues are clearly demonstrated eg: narrow canal towpath
Food security issues with loss of farmland
Pressure on services eg health / education

I object because you are suggesting that "small-scale development .... in green belt locations". This is NOT acceptable. You should be considering other sites well before green belt. Area B1/SG07 is not subject to "special circumstances" as expressed in the NPPF 2024.

As B1 is in green belt land and Ancient Arden, the area should be doubly protected from urban sprawl. There is the potential for towns to begin to merge and that would contribute to the nature of the separation of settlements.

B1/SG07 - limited infrastructure provision at present. Much data is missing to fully respond to this Draft Policy eg: Energy Demands and Capacity.
Consider: solar panels, ground source heat pumps, electricity as the only fuel?
No gas at Hatton Station and it was deemed far too expensive to have been put in when it was last reviewed.
Local present substations inadequate for electricity provision for homes let alone services eg; schools.
Sewerage management at Hatton Station is a considerable issue - often blockages!
Drainage - local lanes flood, Dark Lane L3 flood risk

There are no justifiable "exceptional circumstances" for removing green belt land, or building upon it, in B1/SG07.
Other non-greenbelt land exists.
B1/SG07
- can't be made sustainable in transport or infrastructure terms.
- does not have previously developed land.
- can check urban sprawl as expected of green belt.
- can protect the countryside in which it sits from encroachment
- can protect the nature of historic Warwick town
The green belt assessment has not properly addressed the green belt which is likely to be impacted by a proposed new settlement at B1/SG07
When it's gone, it's gone!
