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.
Having regard to the evidence base for the emerging plan, the Green Belt Review Stage 1 Report (September 2024) sets out an “objective, evidence-based and independent assessment of how the parts of the West Midlands Green Belt that fall within South Warwickshire contribute to the five purposes of Green Belt set out in the NPPF”. More detailed, site specific, assessment work is anticipated to inform later stages of plan making and we reserve the right to comment on the evidence base documents in due course.
Overall HOH2-Weak
As such, 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.
However, notwithstanding the comments as per the above, should this be discounted from Green Belt release by this plan, as a minimum, it should be safeguarded for future development. In addition, should a Grey Belt list be developed by the Councils, this site should be included.
