The general sentiment of this policy is supported. The approach to small-scale development and Green Belt exception is welcomed, however, it should not be limited to Built Up Area Boundaries and support the development of sites that are strategically linked to existing transport networks. Employment uses, such as RA&S, are often located outside of established Built Up Areas due to the nature of the operation, however, utilise existing strategic transport networks such as the M40 and play a critical role in local economies.
The expansion of the policy to support small-scale development across the authority, with specific reference to existing strategic transport infrastructure will help ensure the future operation and expansion of businesses such as RA&S to meet South Warwickshire’s identified employment need. It is important that policy recognises the importance of sites outside of settlement boundaries but in highly sustainable locations. In particular, policy should recognise that employment sites are often better suited to function outside of settlement boundaries. Instead, their priority should be to utilise existing strategic transport infrastructure and uphold the core principle of sustainable development and is in accordance with the national growth agenda.
