The Respondent does not intrinsically object to the inclusion of new settlements in the overall growth strategy as they can be an effective way, at least in theory, of delivering new housing where there are barriers to the sustainable delivery of sufficient housing elsewhere. However, in reality, the physical implementation of new settlements is often complex and costly, which can significantly hamper their delivery. The Respondent would therefore caution against over reliance on new settlements in the preferred growth strategy as this could render much of the Plan undeliverable and therefore, unsound.
We are of the view that the growth of existing settlements should be prioritised within the overall growth strategy for South Warwickshire, as opposed to the delivery of new settlements.
