Taylor Wimpey welcomes the consideration of Green Belt release through the emerging plan and agrees that many of the most sustainable locations in South Warwickshire are within the Green Belt, including areas around key railway stations, such as Warwick Parkway.

The latter part of the Draft Policy Direction also comments on the potential for the identification of additional safeguarded sites to meet longer term needs. Although this may be appropriate in principle, as set out in respect of Draft Policy Direction 1, there is a substantial amount of need to meet at the current time, as such, sites that are assessed as deliverable, should be considered for allocation in this plan.
Land to the north east of Hampton Magna (Appendix 1 of this note) is assessed as two parcels by the Green Belt Review, identified as:
• HMG1 - comprising the northern part of the site south of the railway line
• HMG2 - comprising the southern extent, to the immediate east of the settlement of Hampton Magna.
Overall HMG1-Weak HMG2-Weak
Considering the above assessment, and inherent sustainability of the site, being in close proximity to Warwick Parkway railway station and being otherwise unconstrained, this site is considered to represent an opportunity to meet a proportion of the additional needs identified for South Warwickshire. It should be removed from the Green Belt and proposed for allocation to deliver new homes.
