Town Centres. The bullet point says:
"maintain sufficient parking in town centres so as not to undermine their vitality, whilst ensuring that effective alternatives . . . are provided"
I agree, as long as this means increasing the number of spaces, and making parking free!
Acceptable alternatives are limited to Park & Ride facilities just outside town. People with cars will use these, but will not use public transport all the way from villages - and will drive somewhere else instead, where they can park easily.
Parking provision should be seen as an incentive to participate - NOT as a source of revenue!

I support a fair parking policy. At the moment in Leamington at least 2 companies have free parking for their customers and pay the council nothing for using existing metered bays. This sort of practice must not be allowed under the review.

I have read your booklet 'local plan' preferred options summary May 2012.
Could you please, advise me as to how you are going to allow all these housing builds to take place? Warwick A&E department cannot cope as it is, as on most nights, there is a 4 hour wait and most cases re sent to Coventry NHS Trust. Warwickshire fire and rescue service is now under its greatest stresses, due to cuts to retained officers. Warwickshire police cannot cope with the amount of incidents they are having to attend.
There is also a lack of schools and dentists.
As a council you cannot even maintain the roads to a reasonable standard. You need to get the town back to a standard so it is proud to call its self Royal Leamington Spa.
The bottom of town is known as the Bronx. Areas like Fallow Hill and Lillington are more important to make a community proud to live in. Stop letting the pound signs in your eyes ignore the deprived areas already existing.
This town cannot cope with the amount of new builds. You don't have any concern on how the cost of car parking has driven away no end of trade within the town with the rediculous car parking fees charged. In Coventry where I now choose to shop for most of the day, it costs me £1.50. You constantly ask the publics view, but take no interest in what they say and ignore there views. All you are interested in is how much as a council you can claim of the households. You have no concern on how the emergency services will cope or hospitals.
I suggest you look into this before agreeing to allow more housing builds. Are you going to consider, with the amount of houses you are planning to allow to be built, that there will be a large amount of children and youths who will have no where to go and nothing to do causing even more potential antisocial behaviour.
As a council, I have never known one to waste as much money as you do on the most ridiculous resources as you do, then complain you have no money.
It is widely recognised that a large percentage of council house tennants do not pay council tax, therefore leaving us taxpayers to make up the shortfall. As the majority of the community are taxpayers and non benefit claimants, we already bear the brunt of you're economic failures. What percentage of the residents of these new developments will not have put one penny into Britains economy but deem to meet your criteria

Is concerned about vehicle parking in the district, in particular the impact associated with major events at Kenilworth Castle which has meant that surrounding streets have been inundated with vehicles. Development policy should consider the needs for car-parking at future events in the immediate area of Kenilworth Castle, for example by means of a large underground parking facility. Most major cities and large towns in Europe have developed underground parking as a standard,rather than an exception and without losing the character of the area. Should ask why people drive to Touchwood rather than shop in Warwick, Leamington or Kenilworth

I have read the "Local Plan" with some considerable interest, and I have one comment to make which I believe needs serious consideration. My comment concerns CAR PARKING in general, but specifically for events in Kenilworth.
The preferred options in Transport, Transport Infrastructure,Parking and Tourism are being promoted,among others.
Consider the car-parking facilities available for events at Kenilworth Castle, the Abbey Fields and surrounding areas.
English Heritage continuously promotes Kenilworth Castle and organizes major events but the number of car parking places at the Castle is just inadequate to accommodate the number of visitors cars, and by a very large inadequacy indeed. Similarly with the annual Lions Bonfire Night and events in the Abbey Fields.
As a result of this inadequacy the surrounding streets are inundated with vehicles parking anywhere they can, including people's driveways and gardens. This is a fact. The law is capable of acting but fails to do so, presumably due to higher priorities. So, let us not revert to trying to solve the problem by demanding action from police resources and avoiding the need to tackle the root-cause of the problem---nowhere to park.
Of course we want to encourage Tourism, and Kenilworth Castle is an important magnet for tourists and visitors. Tourists bring welcome business to Kenilworth and the Warwick District. But the car-parking facilities are sadly inadequate. We must come to terms with the car and all that the car means to our infrastructure, and that includes the provision of car parking facilities. Let us make a visit to the Warwick District a pleasant experience, and a pleasant experience for everyone,including residents.
Therefore, I submit a request for the Development Policy to consider the needs for car-parking at future events in the immediate area of Kenilworth Castle, whereby cars are properly parked in provided areas and that the number of spaces available are sufficient for the projected needs of the future. For example, consider large capacity underground parking, where there is no visual impact on the environment. Prevent events taking place unless all the car-parking facilities required are made available.
May I suggest that the Development Services look at how other towns and cities have tackled the issue of car-parking. Most of the major cities and large towns in Europe have developed underground parking as a standard,rather than an exception and without losing the character of the area. Ask the question why do so many people drive to Touchwood in Solihull rather shop in Warwick, Leamington or Kenilworth. The answer may be obvious.
There are cost issues in my suggestion, but first let us get the principles right on what we want for our future, and the benefits

to parking which is currently very difficult in all our town centres at certain times.
Park and ride schemes are proposed. These only work for tourists and residents who live adjacent to the parking area. This is entirely due to time availability. Local shoppers generally want to get in shop and get out. Tourists are there for much longer periods. In Brighton park and walk even with quite long walks worked much better and allows the centre to become pedestrianised.

Taylor Wimpey would welcome the opportunity to respond to any future supplementary planning document that is prepared.

Warwick Local Plan - Preferred Options Consultation
Response on behalf of Taylor Wimpey's Land Interests in Barford
We act on behalf of Taylor Wimpey plc, who have a land interest in Barford. A copy of the site plan is appended to these representations. Below we set out a response to a number of draft policies contained in the Preferred Options document (May 2012).
PO3: Broad Location of Growth
Taylor Wimpey support the Council's Preferred Option as set out in draft Policy PO3 which includes the distribution of some housing growth across the District, including land within and/or on the edge of some villages. Furthermore support is given to the proposal for a hierarchy of growth in those villages with a broad range of services and public transport to the towns.
Taylor Wimpey have land interests in Barford, and consider that this could deliver upto 60 new homes in a location that is considered to be sustainable for this scale of development.
We consider that the Council's proposed approach to housing delivery, as set out in draft Policy PO3, accords with the requirements set out in paragraph 47 of the NPPF which encourages Local Planning Authorities to significantly boost the supply of housing through a number of means. The support for providing new homes through extensions to existing villages is also encouraged by the NPPF (paragraph 52).
PO4: Distribution of Sites for Housing
Taylor Wimpey supports the proposal for Category 1 villages, including Barford, to provide 100 dwellings. However, we consider, specifically in respect of Barford, that where sites, in addition to Taylor Wimpey's site at Land off Wellesbourne Road, are identified as being suitable and deliverable for residential development, within and/or on the edge of the village, then Barford may be able to accommodate growth in excess of 100 dwellings. On this basis, we suggest that a dwelling range should be provided which indicates the minimum and maximum number of units the Council considers to be broadly acceptable on sites which are deliverable and developable in Barford. Whilst we understand that the 100 dwelling figure is not a maximum, it would be helpful for development management purposes to establish a figure that was considered to be the upper limit. Furthermore, if some of the Category 1 and 2 villages are unable to meet the broad targets set then other villages may need to make up the shortfall. It is suggested that an assessment of likely housing capacity in each village is required to understand what the housing capacity parameter should be.

PO6: Mixed Communities & a Wide Choice of Homes
A - General Market Housing
Taylor Wimpey broadly supports the requirement for housing developments to provide a mix of house sizes and types to meet the needs identified in the SHMA. However, not all sites will be in a location or be of a size to always fully reflect the SHMA requirements in full. Therefore, it is proposed that the words "seek to" are inserted in between the words "will ensure".
PO12 : Climate Change
Taylor Wimpey notes the Council's intention to adopt a requirement that "seeks a 20% reduction in carbon emissions from development to include a contribution from renewable and low carbon technologies". Whilst the policy implies that the carbon reduction is not restricted to these technologies, Taylor Wimpey request that the policy is amended to include reference to the following:
"Where development viability supports a 20% reduction in carbon emissions, contributions to this may include reductions through supply chain and construction methods, as well as contributions from renewable and low carbon technologies".
As part of the CIL viability work, it is requested that any costs associated with a 20% reduction in carbon emissions is taken into account with all other design requirements and planning obligations such as affordable housing.
PO12 : Transport
Preferred Option: Parking
Taylor Wimpey support the proposal to review Vehicle Parking Standards supplementary planning document (2007) and specifically the intention to ensure car parking is provided within new residential developments that allows for convenient and safe parking. Taylor Wimpey would welcome the opportunity to respond to any future supplementary planning document that is prepared.
We look forward to receiving confirmation of receipt of these representations.

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:
All development should provide parking for staff and customers. The cost of that could be the subject of a levy on those businesses related to their use of any facility. If it were possible to provide parking at Warwick Parkway for workers then they could come by train or car on the A46, and take a local train-come-tram along the rail route to Warwick and Leamington and reduce the number of buses and release parking areas for use by customers/visitors. Sufficient free parking space has to be available in reasonable proximity to destinations. We do not agree that "the level of provision of other non-residential car parking should limit the number of additional car journeys", which we interpret as meaning deliberately limiting the number of spaces available.
