Cala as site promoter support inclusion of site 348 in the emerging SWLP but with the below comments on HELAA scoring.

1. Allocating a point for 'ground-mounted solar power opportunities' is arbitrary without any prospect of the site coming forward for that use. The Council's assessment is that 50% is unsuitable for such a use and the site is relatively small so wouldn't be viable.
2. Two points are assigned for 'Listed Buildings'. One is for a milepost which is overgrown with no prominence. Development would improve the setting. The other is for farm buildings but no assessment of potential impacts was undertaken. We object to the automatic assumption of harm.
3. Similarly, two points have been assigned for proximity to ancient monuments. King John's Mound is separated from the site by an existing industrial estate.
4. Recent improvements have been made to and around Warwick Road. The site is located off a B road which has undergone safety and accessibility improvements. There is an existing bus stop with shelter adjacent to the site. There are existing safe pedestrian and cycle routes which could be improved further as part of residential development. Connectivity and transport scoring should be revised.
