Yes, in principle. However, the Bird Group note that Draft Policy Direction 3 proposes support for “small scale” development within or adjacent built up area boundaries for settlements in South Warwickshire and that consideration will be given in the SWLP to identifying a number of “small sites” in order to ensure provision of a 5-year housing land supply. Instead the SWLP Part 1 should support “proportionate” development within and adjacent to existing settlements, in a comparable way to Policy CS.16 in the Stratford-on-Avon Core Strategy.
Unless an appropriate mix of sites of varying sizes are allocated in Part 1 of the SWLP, there is a real risk that an over reliance on Strategic Growth Locations and/or New Settlements will lead to identified housing needs for South Warwickshire in the shorter term not being met.
