Corbally Group are promoting land north of Harbury Depot as a proposed housing allocation. The land is sustainably located adjacent to the newly developed Bishops Hill and Willows developments and is well related via enhanced footway links direct to Bishops Itchington providing excellent connectivity to its social and physical infrastructure. The Site also benefits from excellent public transport links with good access to the services and facilities offered within Harbury and the wider area including Leamington Spa, Banbury and Southam. This land is suitable, available and deliverable and should be identified as a location for future residential development as part of the South Warwickshire Local Plan.

Whilst Bishop’s Itchington has been identified as a Spatial Growth Strategy Priority Area (Priority Area 3), this does not reflect accurately reflect the existing built village settlement. This should be reviewed to ensure the current settlement boundaries are captured within the
defined Priority Area 3, including the Bishops Hill and Willows Development, in addition to this Site which forms a logical extension to the settlement. Furthermore, there is a clear need to provide for in excess of the current identified housing requirement to meet the identified local needs of South Warwickshire and land north of Harbury Depot would contribute positively to meeting this need along with the wider strategic objectives of the Plan. As an identified Reserve Site in SoADC’s earlier draft Site Allocations Plan, further consideration should be given to the Sites continued housing allocation

This representation demonstrates that there are no significant constraints that would preclude the development of the site for residential development. The Vision Document shows how circa 220 homes can be accommodated on the Site, along with on-site open space, landscaping, BNG and sustainable drainage. In addition, the Site has the ability to deliver the added benefit of a local centre to further complement existing local infrastructure provision at Bishops Itchington.
