South Warwickshire is predominantly rural in character and as identified within the SWLP, the predominant form of transport is the private car. It would therefore be unrealistic to expect that all development will function as 20-minute neighbourhoods, as is more commonly seen in urban areas within other parts of the UK which benefit from significant public transport infrastructure. As recognised within the SWLP, in rural areas, a network of villages could collectively provide for the day-to-day needs of its residents, rather than a 20-minute neighbourhood approach.

The SWLP should seek to identify sites for housing across the Plan area including in the rural areas, such as land to the north of Tailor’s Lane in Upper Quinton. Policies should be developed which support new development in these areas which also enhance pedestrian and cycle connectivity and the provision of electric vehicle charging, to encourage more sustainable modes of travel. The proposed development at Tailor’s Lane would provide improved access to the PRoW network within Quinton, through new footpath connections within the site and connected to the public footpath to the north/ north-east. Electric vehicle charging points would also be provided to all new homes as standard, to promote more sustainable alternatives for private travel, to access facilities within the local villages to serve the daily needs of residents.
