We are in broad agreement with the principles of Draft Policy Direction 13 and 14 and are content for
the Part 1 SWLP to include a policy which looks to direct employment growth to the Core Opportunity
Area as it is arguably the most accessible and sustainable geographical area for major employment
development to occur. Any such policies relating to the Core Opportunity Area and specific Major Investment Sites must be broadly aligned to each other and should provide clarity and specificity as to what is sought within the broader Core Opportunity Area and on the Major Investment Sites, whilst ensuring a degree of flexibility to allow sites that are included within these designations to adapt to changes in spatial, economic, transport and infrastructure circumstances.

We feel it would be beneficial for the SWLP to include a policy relating to additional economic growth at the Major Investment Sites. Any identification in policy of the specific employment uses considered permittable at the Major
Investment Sites must be reflective and relevant to each individual site.

It is also noted that an integral relationship between Wellesbourne Airfield and the University of Warwick is desired. Whilst we would endorse this strategic approach and recognise the synergies between the sites, it is important for any policies to reflect both sites as individual schemes that can and are able to be brought forward independently. This is demonstrated by the live planning application on Wellesbourne Airfield (24/02333/OUT).
