We are supportive of the principle of Chapter 7 to reduce carbon emissions and improve resilience against change. We consider that the allocation of sites that are sustainably located adjacent to an upper tier settlement that provides good accessibility to existing facilities and well-established employment areas, such as this Site in Southam, is the most effective and deliverable way to minimise carbon emission from cars.

The Site also presents an excellent opportunity to deliver a wide array of improvements to pedestrian and cycle connectivity, including the provision of LTN 1/20 compliant facilities on site, and a footway that connects into the existing wider network that will consequently enhance connectivity between the Site and the local amenities (in close proximity of the Site including education provision along Welsh Road West), support sustainable commuting options, and promote opportunities for modal shift.

It is anticipated that sustainable drainage systems will also be incorporated in the design of the Site, which will significantly contribute to the vision under Draft policy K (Multifunctional Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS)) to improve water quality, reduce flood risk and provide additional opportunities for amenity spaces.
