Evidence recommends that between 75 and 125ha of land be allocated for Employment Growth, however the Plan proposes 125ha, the upper limit of development. This is unnecessary and will have larger impacts on important environmental assets and habitats in the area, as well as designated sites and protected species, and does not align with the Government’s 30% by 2030 targets.
Warwickshire Wildlife Trust is also concerned regarding the lack of up to date employment need data, and no evidence for Strategic Industrial Need before 2045.
The allocations are directly next to Chesterton Wood, an important Local Wildlife site, and extremely close to the River Avon and Tributaries LWS, Redlands Brake PLWS, New Waters LWS, Budbrooke Farm Woodlands and Black Brake Plantation LWS, development on which would have detrimental effects for wildlife and climate change targets.
