This policy and review of existing settlement boundaries are supported, particularly since the Urban Capacity Study identifies that development within existing boundaries cannot meet South Warwickshire’s housing requirement. Support for small-scale development adjacent to settlement boundaries is welcomed. The threshold site size should only be guidance to ensure that the policy does not discourage efficient use of land.

Growth adjacent to villages should be encouraged where there are not adverse sustainability implications. Growth across a range of settlements will help provide homes for those who grew up in rural communities and who wish to stay local to their roots, families and social networks. This assists with achievement of Strategic Objective 2. Going beyond minimum housing numbers will help deliver more affordable housing in villages.

The Site at Milcote Road, Welford-on-Avon is in Priority Area 3 but not in an SGL. The site is sustainably located, suitable, achievable, and deliverable for a high-quality residential development of 40 dwellings. Development needn't be limited to Strategic Growth Locations. Other areas within and adjacent to settlements can accommodate growth.
