The Preferred Options states that three ‘priority areas’ have been delineated which determine areas of land which fall within the Spatial Growth Strategy, based on proximity to the various elements that form part of the Strategy. South Warwickshire’s existing urban areas fall within Priority 1, and full use will be made of suitable urban brownfield land before development is considered elsewhere. However, the SWLP outlines that there is insufficient urban brownfield land to accommodate South Warwickshire’s housing and employment land needs and so the majority of SWLP’s strategic growth needs will be met within priority areas 1-3.

Draft Policy Direction 12 – Locations for Employment Growth, identifies specific sites for allocation in the Regulation 19 version of the SWLP. To note, Wedgnock Park Farm is also proposed as a potential Strategic Growth Location (SG07) in the SWLP. NBBC considers the three strategic sites under consideration are consistent with the requirements set out in the WMSESS and is supportive of utilising previously developed land, which the Coventry and Warwickshire HEDNA identified by using gross completions. NBBC also considers that an amount of supply could be accounted from recycling existing employment sites.
