It has not been adequately demonstrated that the Potential New Settlements will be supported by the necessary infrastructure and facilities, including a genuine choice of transport modes. Opportunities for rail links to these Potential New Settlements may be challenging and therefore further information is required to demonstrate how such development can help to meet identified needs in a sustainable way.
The need for significant new infrastructure and facilities to support the Potential New Settlements will mean that these growth locations are unlikely to be delivered until towards the end of the Plan Period to 2050. Clearly, there is a requirement for smaller allocations to meet the identified housing needs in the shorter term, in accordance with Paragraph 72 of the Framework.
The site at Wilmcote has been carefully considered to enable a comprehensive planned development to be achieved to deliver new housing (market and affordable) which is well-located in relation to the village and will enhance its vitality in line with national planning policy.
The site at Wilmcote, should be allocated as a housing site. It is hence considered that the Site is in a sustainable location and should be included as part of the Spatial Growth Strategy within the Plan.
