While the policy’s reference to the 20-minute neighbourhood concept aligns with the NPPF’s sustainable travel aims, the NPPF does not mention this approach, and its application within South Warwickshire needs further consideration. The SWLP technical evidence “Guide to existing housing densities in South Warwickshire” defines a 20-minute neighbourhood as achieving access to everyday services within a 10-minute walk or cycle each way. These aims are unrealistic for larger strategic residential developments located adjacent to larger settlements, as well as developments within smaller settlements, where infrastructure constraints and service provision limitations make such proximity difficult to achieve.
