3.56 Overall, Taylor Wimpey support development being consistent with and contributing to the implementation of transport strategies, reflecting the ‘sustainable travel and economy’ approach, the true ‘modal shift’ described at p46, and the improvement of public transport. This is considered to broadly align with Section 9 of the NPPF. Sites which benefit from existing access to public transport should be prioritised for future growth, particularly in the instance that additional sites need to be identified to meet the additional needs calculated for South Warwickshire.
3.57 The site promoted by Taylor Wimpey on land to the north east of Hampton Magna benefits from easy access to Warwick Parkway train station, located to the north of the site. The Illustrative Masterplan for the site sets out opportunities to provide pedestrian/cycle connectivity through the site to the existing pedestrian connections, adjoining the railway station.
3.58 Taylor Wimpey welcomes the reference to site specific infrastructure and other requirements in any forthcoming allocation policies given this will provide better certainty going forward. However, this needs to be proportionate to the scale of development proposed, based on up-to-date evidence of need and subject to viability (which should be explicitly referenced in the policy wording). These requirements will also need to be justified through the evolving IDP.
