Minerals and Waste
No objections on mineral sterilisation grounds subject to prior extraction of sand and gravel and subject to:
• Minerals Assessment Report (for assessing the possible impact on mineral resources and determining whether prior extraction is achievable),
• Materials Management Report (for assessing the sourcing and use of construction materials including the availability of on-site materials for reuse/recycling),
• Site Waste Management Plan (a plan for reusing/recycling waste on site and avoiding off-site disposal to landfill),
• Soil Management Plan (a plan to manage all soils on site during construction)
Highways / Transport
There will be a need for detailed modelling to take place once there is an idea of numbers and more specific locations. The County Council will continue to work with the South Warwickshire Local Plan Team as thinking progresses.
Public transport availability can be assessed once further information is available about numbers and location.
Primary Education
Potential expansion of Bidford Primary School could support the delivery of an additional 300 homes. Anything higher than that will require new provision.
Secondary Education
Limited capacity at Alcester although this is at the Catholic Secondary School and this might not be seen as appropriate by some parents.
Work would be required to determine if Alcester Academy can be expanded. Likely to require significant build costs due to site constraints.
Possibility that growth at Bidford and Alcester could support the delivery of a new secondary offer. This would though need circa 5,000 new dwellings to make it viable.
