We are providing comments on the HELAA results for site reference 736. The site scores poorly in flood risk due to 16% being in Flood Zone 2 or 3. Land within close proximity to Thelsford Brook should be removed from the Growth Option. Appendix 3 shows that all development can be located outside of areas at risk of flooding. Although the site has moderate visual sensitivity, it is not in a protected landscape area, and localised visibility can be managed. Connectivity to Wellesbourne is good, and employment development near the University of Warwick is feasible. 22% of the site is within Grade 1 or 2 Agricultural Land but the majority is Grade 3. The vast majority of the SWLP area is within Grades 1, 2 or 3, so the SWLP will likely need to release some 'best and most versatile' land.
