I cannot fully support Draft Policy Direction 2 as it risks undermining the council’s sustainability and climate resilience objectives. While new settlements could help meet housing needs, the focus on large-scale greenfield development conflicts with goals to protect biodiversity, reduce carbon emissions, and prioritise brownfield sites. The policy lacks sufficient detail on infrastructure delivery, such as transport, utilities, and services, which are critical for creating self-sufficient communities. A more balanced approach, emphasising smaller-scale development, infill sites, and enhancing existing settlements, would better align with the council’s vision for a sustainable South Warwickshire.
