Q-D5: Should we continue with the approach to include a high-level strategic policy within the Part 1 plan and to utilise heritage assessments to inform the growth strategy, and delay detailed policies to Part 2?

The major developments in Shipston on Stour line the Campden Road. All of these were granted planning permission in the uncontrolled period prior to the Core Strategy being approved (or even existing). As a result, this part of South Warwickshire was not designed; it just happened, regardless of any consideration for local beauty. The Special Landscape Areas of The Feldons and the Cotswold ANOB which meet in Shipston on Stour must be preserved as they represent the future prosperity of this community. There is every sign from the HEDNA/Sustainability Appraisal that no lessons have been learnt and misguided assumptions based on erroneous data continues. Fundamental change is needed to the HEDNA/Sustainability Appraisal to embrace local knowledge.

This links closely to the planting and bio diversity issues. The environment needs to meet the needs of all. Safeer walking, cycling, safer lighting taking mind of light pollution.

Heritage assets need to be at the forefront of the plan otherwise they will be forgotten and overlooked. The special character of historic villages needs to be protected at all costs. It is what makes South Warwickshire beautiful. If they continue to be expanded and have bland and generic housing built they will loose all the character they have.

There needs to be a consistent approach to what is deemed a 'well-designed and beautiful South Warwickshire'. There is evidence that planning permission which has been previously granted does not take this policy into account.

It's clearly not working in its current state as a school was allowed to be built off Harbury Lane opposite heritage assets and thousands of houses will be built on Strawberry Fields right by Warwick Castle. So the standards need to change if things like that get passed.

Yes, the heritage assessment is very important. I am not certain the Heritage assessment to date for Henley is sufficient to show that large scale development in the area would be highly detrimental to historic heritage and environmental heritage and feel of the Henley area. It is important that Local communities are able to work with the SWLP to meet their local needs and for the SWLP to accept that local residents will often understand their local area more comprehensively than the SWLP or developers, to that end NDPs should be respected.

The word 'beautiful' has been introduced to the revised NPPF and is a welcome addition. However in some quarters it is used as a synonym for 'traditional'. This meaning should not be the one that filters through the SWLP. Drawing on the learning from the best and most innovative urban schemes (e.g. Peter Barber Architects, Mae Architects, Mary Duggan, Alison Brooks) would ensure that the results of the SWLP are far more sustainable and community-enhancing. They would also facilitate the building of a greater proportion of affordable homes which in turn will make the SWLP more inclusive.
