Ymatebydd: National Gas Transmission

Asiant : Avison Young

We have identified one or more proposed development sites as being crossed or in close proximity to National Gas Transmission assets.

Details of the sites affecting National Gas Transmission assets are provided below.

Gas Transmission Pipeline, route: CHURCHOVER TO WORMINGTON DUPLICATE
Gas Transmission Pipeline, route: CHURCHOVER COMP TEE TO HONEYBOURNE

Without appropriate acknowledgement of the National Gas Transmission assets present within the site, these policies should not be considered effective as they cannot be delivered as proposed; unencumbered by the constraints posed by the presence of National Gas Transmission infrastructure.

We propose that future Local Plan policies in respect of the affected proposed allocations and new settlements include a policy strand that incorporates wording to
the following effect:

“The development will demonstrate a clear strategy for responding to the National Gas Transmission high-pressure gas pipelines present within the site which provides evidence on how the National Gas Transmission Design Guide and Principles have been applied at
the masterplanning stage and how the impact of the assets has been reduced through good design.”

It is requested that this wording is either incorporated into site specific policies for the ten affected sites, or included within the general policy text if site-specific policies are not
incorporated in later versions of the emerging South Warwickshire Local Plan.
