JLR have several comments on the HELAA results score for Site 375 at Land South of JLR, Gaydon.

In relation to surface water flooding, the area is small (13%) and is constrained to part of the site boundaries and so does not preclude development. The Site has low/moderate visual sensitivity and small pockets of habitat value, but any impacts can be mitigated through careful masterplanning and landscape design. Harm to the nearby listed building at All Saints Church to the southwest can be avoided through supplementing the existing significant tree belt between the Site and the asset.

JLR submitted a Preliminary Landscape and Visual Appraisal in response to the Issues and Options consultation, and this is appended again with these representations along with a Vision Document for the site. Should the Councils have any residual concerns in relation to landscape and visual impacts, JLR would be happy to meet to discuss.

In relation to connectivity, the Site would be accessed through and form an extended part of the existing Gaydon Site and Proposal GLH within the adopted Local Plan where 3,000 homes and community infrastructure and services are planned within the lifetime of the Plan. The accessibility of this location to workers and facilities will therefore be improved over the course of the Plan period such that connectivity will not be an issue.

JLR are confident development proposals can therefore be satisfactorily accommodated without causing significant harm to constraints that would preclude its allocation.
