It is not clear whether any regard has been given to the SCS for Warwickshire, 'People, Places and Prosperity'. This document is neither referenced within the Local Plan Publication Draft consultationndocument nor appears in the list of evidence base documents on the WDC website. The three elements of the vision for Warwickshire, as set out in the Warwickshire SCS, are: tackling inequities existing either by geography or within communities; ensuring good access to services, choice and opportunity; and pursuing
sustainability with respect to people, place and prosperity.
The strategy set out at paragraph 1.42 of the Local Plan Publication Draft consultation document does not make reference to tackling inequality or facilitating access.It is therefore unclear whether these matters have been considered through the plan-making process.
The Planning Inspectorate document 'Examining Local Plans Procedural Practice' (December 2013) identifies at part B that "the Plan must have regard to any Sustainable Community Strategy (SCS) for its area (i.e. County and District)". Furthermore, the slightly older Planning Inspectorate document 'Local Development Frameworks: Examining Development Plan Documents: Soundness Guidance'. Specifies at paragraph 1.1 that the submission of a SCS is necessary for the Examination, which in the case of a District Local Planning Authorities should also include one copy of the County's SCS.
It is not clear whether WDC intends to submit a copy of the Warwickshire SCS, given the absence of this
document in the list of evidence base documents on the WDC website. Furthermore it is not clear whether the Warwickshire SCS has even been taken into account in the preparation of the Local Plan. On this basis, WCC questions whether the Local Plan is legally compliant

Plan is unsound for the following reasons:
The Local Plan Strategy 1.43 on page 11 says the strategic priorities, are
supported by a Spatial Strategy which seeks to:
 maximise use of brownfield sites;
 only bring forward greenfield sites in sustainable locations;
Contradiction of what is actually happening. Majority of housing developments are taking place south of River Leam on Greenfield sites. 4655 dwellings currently scheduled to be built on Greenfield sites.
Plan not positively prepared and does not demonstrate effective joing working with neighbouring authorities. WDC could alleviate disproportionate number of houses in one area of district. Applications in the pipeline already amount to 6.5 yr supply.
Supportive of need for houses for local people, however claimed numbers are exagerated to increase Govt. revenue to WDC. Houses planned not aimed at first time buyers but at executive buyers from beyond area. Need for bungalows and housing mix.
Fails to avoid coalescence - Developmnet sites between Myton Road and Europa Way, land south of Harbury Lane and east of railway in Whitnash and south of Campion School coalesces the large part of S Leamington, Whitnash and Warwick.
WDC has not consulted with local people over number of houses required and location. Local people have had no input into the LP.

Despite the best efforts of the WDC planning staff in trying to find solutions, significant problems remain with the proposals for 2900 houses around Europa Way and Harbury Lane.
Transport and sustainability: incidents such as gas pipe repairs and problems on the M40 cause serious congestion on the south side of Warwick and Leamington. There are long queues on Europa Way and Gallows Hill. It is hard to say how widening such roads will solve the problem and undermines claims that the south side of the towns is better placed to cope with traffic than the north. The extra 2900 houses proposed for the south of the towns will make this worse on a daily basis as the river crossings will not be improved under the local plan. Estimated transport costs quoted come to more than £30m. If the Local Plan is 'sustainable' in terms of transport, why must so much money be spent on roads?
It is difficult to understand the thoughts behind remarks that a development on the south side of Leamington will be closer to facilities when the route to Warwick Hospital is through congested roads. The connections to both stations are through congested roads with little parking - the distances are too far for most people to walk or cycle. The supermarkets have congested approaches.

It is noted that the Local Plan Publication Draft is based on the key priorities in the Warwick District Council Sustainable Community Strategy (SCS), 'A Shared Vision. However it is unlear whether any regard has been given to the SCS for Warwickshire, 'People, Places and Prosperity'. This document is neither referenced within the Local Plan Publication Draft consultation document nor appears in the list of evidence base documents on the WDC website. It is unclear whether the matters contained in it have been considered through the plan-making process as required in government guidance. WCC therefore questions whether the Local Plan is legally compliant.

In my view,and as illustrated by such groups as Save Warwick,the developments South of Warwick continue to be disproportionate to reasonable need. Without additional significant infrastructure investment it will impact Warwick Town and District detrimentally.
A more reasonable I.e. reduced provision of development would have a far less negative impact on traffic,pollution, character, and attractiveness (to residents and businesses new, old, and potential) of the Town and District. It would be more likely to enable Well Being and Healthy Living. It would be less likely to require additional significant infrastructural investments or Social Provision.
The ambitions of the current Plan are beyond reasonable need and contrary to the wishes of significant numbers of the local population: it feels rather undemocratic! and lacking in wisdom and sustainable vision.

The CWLEP notes that the Local Plan submission draft has been positively prepared and supports the growth ambitions of the C&W SEP for growth and investment. However more reference should be made to the overarching framework for growth and positive statements toward achieving inward investment and economic growth in line with the NPPF

Para 1.42 and 1.43 Centaur Homes support the need to deliver housing in the District and it is central to the Plan. It supports the strategic priorities in paragraph 1.43, in particular only bring forward greenfield sites in sustainable locations and avoid coalescence between settlements.

Agree with representations of Save Warwick Group. In addition, 3000 houses are planned for Gaydon which will also have a detrimental effect on Warwick and the traffic issues will be multiplied several times. the Local Plan does not address this.

no consideration given to agricultural land south of Warwick much of which is grade 2. The judgement to sacrifice the best agricultural land to protect the green belt is wrong.

Myton Road is seriously overloaded with significant congestion. there should be no further houses built with access to Myton Road.

It was promised that the cycleway at Saumur Way would provide a permanent southern edge to the town. The plan does not address this.

The plan does not consider the impacts of the windfall sites.

There is too much new development proposed , with questions about whether the size of the new communities (for instance in Kenilworth) can be managed and controlled with impact on crime and the capacity of local shops, particularly in light of cut backs to public services. By planning to meet the needs of major cities there is a danger that there will be an impact on crime.
