While the policy’s reference to the 20-minute neighbourhood concept aligns with the NPPF’s sustainable travel aims, the NPPF does not mention this approach, and its application within South Warwickshire needs further consideration. The SWLP technical evidence “Guide to existing housing densities in South Warwickshire” defines a 20-minute neighbourhood as achieving access to everyday services within a 10-minute walk or cycle each way. Greater flexibility should be applied to acknowledge the challenges of implementing the 20-minute neighbourhoods’ model in areas where everyday services are not available within such a short distance.
