With potential brown field sites along with cheaper land/housing prices in the Coventry area, I cannot understand why green land in Warwick District should be destroyed.

Why not develop the Ford factory site, Quicks car sales site the land on the corner of Tachbrook Road near the station. Surely small developments will have less effect and damage our environment less.

Land south of Coventry would be more practical with motorway network and infrastructure in place. All brown field sites should be used first.

Specifically in terms of housing growth, the Core Strategy is slightly inconsistent with emerging regional guidance. 10.8 refers to the period to 2021 but then the text continues on the basis of the expected position under the RSS Review. Clearly it would have been more appropriate to make sure that this document was in compliance with the emerging plan otherwise the whole document will need to be reconsidered when it is adopted, unless of course further changes can be made before arriving at the submission draft.

If there is a need for social housing why is growth being focused around the rural edges to the south of Warwick, Leamington and Whitnash when people living in social housing need easy access to town centre facilities. Areas to the north of the district (Kenilworth, North Leamington, Cubbington, Lillington, Milverton, North Warwick and West Warwick) would be more suitable for additional high density housing as there is easier access to the centres.

Additional housing growth for Kenilworth should be reconsidered due to the pending railway station. Why are the houses not dispersed over the district? Some housing should be allocated to rural areas to encourage a change in demographics and ensure rural services are sustained.

Only11 sites selected from list of 151 (total area 381.94ha). Of this,16.63ha is Brownfield. but 339.32ha is Grade2 Agricultural land with other Greenfield of 25.99ha. Only 525 homes are planned for Brownfield sites with 5000 homes on Greenfield. 2575 windfall homes would be on mix of brown and green.

Contravenes PPS1 - give protection to wider countryside and take account of impact of development on landscape quality, conservation and enhancement of wildlife species and habitats and promotion of biodiversity.
Contravenes PPS7 - include criteria-based policies to protect locally valued landscapes, supported by landscape character assessments: as the landscape character assessments are poorly completed. Landscape occupied by Lower Heathcote Farm, between Harbury Lane and the Tach Brook, is naturally beautiful. Even so, the Landscape report states that as farmland too it has a high value; categorized as second highest grade of farmland. Too much valuable farmland proposed for development.
Contravenes Regional Planning Policy - conserve, enhance and restore quality, diversity and distinctiveness of the landscape character.

Para 6 of Executive summary sets out how WDC intends to meet current and future housing needs.
Proposed densities for town centre sites are too low and can include mixed use employment space. Opportunities exist at number of sites for comprehensive redevelopment to improve poor parts of town including Ford Foundry/Station approach and railway triangle; Wise Street and Court Street in Tachbrook Road, Canal and Railway triangle to rescue Old Town.

Evidence base used to identify preferred option contains insufficient analysis to make judgment. Better analysis of 151 sites shows that 51 sites could contribute to option, some in part and using more acceptable densities show where 10694 homes could be sited. 47 ha of brownfield sites could provide 1998 homes. This would utilize 368ha of which 250ha is ALC2. Would not be sensible to build this number as excessive impact on infrastructure. Choices could be made from this shortlist to achieve 8,100 homes required and if ALC2 land is used last, would only be necessary to take 150ha. Overall, sites taken would amount to 268ha.

We support the Council's approach to provide sufficient land to meet the housing requirement set out in the RSS Phase 2 Requirement, but note that should the levels be increased when the RSS is adopted then the additional requirement must also be met. The Plan should be sufficiently flexible to allow for such changes although at present this would not appear to be the case.

We are concerned about the proposed 'windfall' allowance. No evidence of this figure has been provided and it must be fully justified.

We also object that edge of settlement sites, and small greenfield sites both within and on the edge of the main urban areas, have been omitted from the Preferred Option. Such sites are often highly sustainable and are important in meeting the housing requirement for the District. They can usually be brought forward quickly and easily without need for major infrastructure works or masterplanning. As such they can meet needs early in the Plan period.

The emerging RSS makes it clear that changes to the Green Belt will be appropriate to ensure that the most sustainable parcels of land are developed. We consider that land which is suitable for development (such as that identified in the SHLAA) yet currently lies within the Green Belt should have that designation removed.


A policy should therefore be included which covers this matter. In particular it should state that where small sites within the Green Belt yet on the edges of the main settlements are considered suitable for development the Green Belt designation will be lifted.

CRA objects to the significant proportion of the Kings Hill site for new housing. CRA does not support significant development of this area. In addition to the scale of the residential development, the requisite infrastructural improvements (transport, power, gas sewage,etc) will evitably have a detrimental effect on the entire area..

It is questionable whether all of the sites identified for residential development can be considered strategic in the context of PPS12.

We are confident that flooding and odour issues can be addressed on the land east of Stratford Road, Warwick. In addition, a solution can be secured to ensure there is no adverse impact on the registered park/garden. The site is outside of the Green Belt and is preferable to releasing Green Belt sites.

The Council should undertake a comparative site selection exercise based on a robust evidence base.

Would like to support the proposals for the future development of housing strategy. Would have been devastated if decision had been to offer Coventry housing from Westwood Heath towards Red Lane. Area of outstanding beauty, separating Coventry from Kenilworth, traversed by public footpaths including disused railway line which is absolute gem. Understand logic of perhaps allowing Coventry to develop King's Hill with proximity to A46 but disappointed that possibility of development in greenbelt. Before that concession made Coventry must demonstrate that it has made every efort to utilise all Coventry sites, whether brown or green.

Object as the former North Leamington School site has not been allocated as a site suitable for housing development.

The site would result in the redevelopment of brownfield land and make use of a vacant site. It adjoins the urban area. It would be more appropriate than an employment use, would be compatible with adjoining uses, would add to the portfolio of sites. There is no demand for employment uses. Benefits would accrue to the visual appearance of the Green belt. It accords with national policy.

Re-examine all possible development areas, brown as well as green field sites.(the developer preferred site alongside the Banbury Road as indicated as an alternative at the 17th August meeting was clearly contrary to WDC policy, urbanising one of the important Warwick approach roads).
Having re-assessed Strategy Period New Housing Needs, proposed new housing development areas, should , where possible, be allocated more equitably across District , including villages to meet local village and agricultural first time buyers needs. Such equitable spread would avoid a dis-proportionate adverse environmental impact on one residential area as presently proposed south of the River Avon.

Thre is an over reliance on windfalls. There are only a limited number of brownfield sites suitable for development within the town centres. Reliance on past trends is unrealistic given the market we are now in.

Windfall assumptions should be halved in order to ensure there is more confidence in meeting housing targets. Additional land should be allocated to make up the difference, at land north of Milverton. The loss of Green Belt is outweighed by the need for housing.
