C1 and the Kingswood Sites should not be included in the preferred sites identified for the SWLP for the following key reasons:
- Delivering infrastructure in line with the objectives and policies in the SWLP would be a major undertaking.
- There are other preferred sites identified in the SWLP Preferred Options that should be pursued, that prevent a concentrated development and urban sprawl to the north of South Warwickshire, won’t require development of the Green Belt or quality agriculturalland and will meet the objectives as laid out in the SWLP.
- The sustainability appraisal relating to C1 is flawed and pursuing or relying upon it would not deliver a robust local plan.
- C1 would not demonstrate ‘exceptional circumstances’ under the NPPF, so it cannot possibly justify the inclusion of Green Belt land as a new settlement.
- Any development of New Settlement C1 would not meet NPPF Paragraph 198.
- The inability to align the New Settlement C1 with the 20-minute neighbourhood
concept, which is wholly inappropriate for a rural area such as this and is more suitable for more urban areas with robust infrastructure and service provision.
