Ymatebydd: Coventry and Warwickshire ICB

The Coventry and Warwickshire ICB strongly supports the principle of an evidence-led sustainability strategy, rather than one driven solely by site options. The ICB expresses concern regarding the potential overwhelming impact of dispersed small-scale developments on primary care already operating at capacity. A fragmented approach could overwhelm existing PC sites and create challenges in securing adequate developer contributions for infrastructure expansion. The ICB recommends exploring strategies to cluster small-scale developments around existing settlements to achieve economies of scale and facilitate sustainable growth in the primary care infrastructure. The ICB welcomes the large scale new settlement approach recognising the settlement must be of sufficient scale to enable a viable Primary Care delivery site to be an option.
The ICB is pleased that the “Sustainable Travel and Economy" Spatial Growth Strategy is committed to ensuring the provision of infrastructure alongside housing and employment growth.
