The approach laid out in Draft Policy Direction 2 broadly aligns with Paragraph 77 of the Framework.
it has not been adequately demonstrated that the Potential New Settlements will be supported by the necessary infrastructure and facilities, including a genuine choice of transport modes. Opportunities for rail links to these Potential New Settlements may be challenging and therefore further information is required to demonstrate how such development can help to meet identified needs in a sustainable way.
The need for significant new infrastructure and facilities to support the Potential New Settlements will mean that these growth locations are unlikely to be delivered until towards the end of the Plan Period to 2050. Clearly, there is a requirement for smaller allocations to meet the identified housing needs in the shorter term, in accordance with Paragraph 72 of the Framework.
It is submitted that Land south of Allimore Lane, Alcester should form part of a mix of sites within the Spatial Growth Strategy to assist in meeting South Warwickshire’s identified housing need. The site is considered to be geographically sustainable and of a scale (c. 128 dwellings) that can be delivered quickly.
