The policy direction is broadly in conformity with national policy requirements. Corbally Group are supportive of the Council’s aspiration to encourage sustainable transport and reduce reliance on private vehicles. However, the policy will need to acknowledge that given the spatial spread and rural nature of much of South Warwickshire, use of the private car will still be the preferred (and, in some cases, only) option for many residents, in the short-to- medium term. Taking this into account, the Council should ensure that there are appropriate parking standards in place for new developments.

It is stated that proposals must demonstrate how they will incorporate or contribute to high- quality infrastructure that facilitate sustainable travel. Commentary with regards to infrastructure provision has already been provided in relation to Policy Direction 5, and similar considerations also apply here. It is recommended that the policy should provide some flexibility, clarifying which types of proposals should address this within submissions (i.e. major development, but not renewable schemes, where this is not applicable).
