The land south of Warwick. Leamington and Whitnash has provided 5,415 sites to the total needed for the Warwick OAN of 10,800 already, and
given the acceptance in various parts of the modified local plan proposals that housing needed by Coventry residents should be located adjacent to the city or as close as possible, and
there is overprovision in the plan of between 3646 and 1288 sites whilst still meeting the FOAN of the HMA there is no case to support the loss of further rural/countryside, south of Harbury Lane/Gallows Hill.
The following sites should be removed in both the draft local plan and modification additions as they are not necessary, environmentally sustainable nor consistent with NPPF protection and enhancement of valued landscapes.
1. H02(part) Former sewage works, south of Harbury Lane..
1. the site is immediately adjacent to the proposed country park, and the country Park was reduced in size in January last year from the original proposals; and
2. the retention of this site in the housing programme is no longer needed as the required housing has or is being provided elsewhere,
The best use for this site is to add it to the country park.
2. H13 Soans site, Sydenham Drive.
Note that the planning application granted was for 143 dwellings not 147.
3. H02(part) Land south of Harbury Lane (Excluding former sewage works)
Described as 620 (plus 985 included in commitments). This description is out of date as the commitments are - Lower Heathcote 785, Grove Farm 1 for 200 and Grove Farm 2 for 520 giving a total of 1505. The proposal is for 1605, increasing the housing by 100. It appears that this is to be added to Lower Heathcote, not Grove Farm by omitting the playing field area and building 100 houses on the land. However, these are no longer needed.
4. H46A Gallows Hill
This is allocated for 630 dwellings. The appeal allowed by the Secretary of State was for 450 dwellings, but it seems the District Council is not prepared to set a plan that limits development to that which is needed. The plan does not show the line of the site that has been allowed on the map. The Asps development was careful to keep away from Banbury Road by retaining fields as part of the special entrance to the Historic Town of Warwick. The same philosophy should apply here.
H49 Bishops Tachbrook Seven Acre Close.
5.1 This site has been allocated for 30 dwellings without any reference to the Parish council or cognisance for the draft Neighbourhood Plan that has gone through the consultation processes and is now to go to the examiner.
5.2 The District Council approved the Village Housing Options and Settlement Boundary Consultation report in November 2013. This site was considered in the sites review for Bishop's Tachbrook but was discounted in favour of H23, which could be enlarged from 75 to 150. The Neighbourhood Plan Team found that the village had a deficit in recreational land and this site should be considered for recreational community space.
The community would expect that these matters would be given considerable weight given the progress now achieved with the Neighbourhood Plan.
5.3 An outline application for 125 dwellings on Land south of Mallory Road was refused by the District Council on 26/02/2014 and a subsequent appeal was dismissed by the planning Inspector.
6. These 4 sites are to provide 525 dwellings. As has been shown in the table in Mod 6, there is overprovision for combined Warwick/Coventry if the Hearn update report is adopted and more if Coventry can produce more within its boundary. The omission of these 4 sites from the plan would not jeopardise the soundness of the plan but would mean that sites are provided in the right place to meet identified needs.

Object to proposal: -
- allocation would extend housing development beyond a reasonable level of accessibility to public transport - choice is not realistically achievable for site off Spring Lane
- Other opportunities are available to meet housing requirements, which would promote choice of public transport.
- Site subject of a live outline planning application for up to 25 dwellings (W/15/1761) - has recommendation of approval
- Land has been incorrectly discounted in the Village Profile and Allocations Report that forms part of the evidence base for these main modifications.

Land which immediately adjoins Allocation H48, south of Westham Lane, Barford is considered an excellent candidate for further allocation to meet need.
Combined with Allocations H48 and H22, residential development on this site would form an entirely logical and natural conclusion to the western side of the settlement

OMISSION site: -
Number of additional sites allocated for housing through the Proposed Modifications document to meet increased housing requirement.
Local Plan should allocate greater number and range of sites to provide choice and greater flexibility to meet OAN over plan period.
Overall number of dwellings to be delivered insufficient to ensure that Local Plan has flexibility to accommodate change, should site delivery be delayed. Local Plan not effective as it risks not delivering full OAN.
Additional sites should be allocated to ensure that the Local Plan meets housing requirements and provides for a reasonable degree of flexbility and choice.

Object to the proposed number of dwellings for the site
No of dwellings for H46A Gallows Hill should be increased from 630 to 700 dwellings in total
A footnote should be attached to explain that the total comprises 450 for Gallows Hill East and 250 for Gallows Hill West.
The proposed capacity fails to optimise the potential of the site and achieve sustainable development
It would reduce the need for the release of further Green belt land
Using a density of 35dph would yield 240 dwellings

ADDITIONAL SITE
The allocation of additional sites such as at Rising Lane, Baddesley Clinton for housing would provide additional dwellings to contribute towards meeting the increased housing target and is small enough to make a contribution to the immediate housing supply such as to deal with the historic undersupply. The development of this site would effectively infill a vacant area of land that is well related to the adjacent existing development. As a consequence it is not considered that the development of the site would prevent the Green Belt from serving the five purposes identified in the NPPF. Further there would be any significant visual impacts. Baddesley Clinton is sustainably located with some facilities including a bus route. Smaller settlements such as Bedddesley Clinton will need to take a share to accommodate the level of housing growth required.

The site at the Peeping Tom Public House, Burton Green is available, and suitable to provide additional housing in Burton Green. The village is affected by HS2. One of the consequences of this is that the allocated site at Burrow Hill Nursery is unlikely to come forward before HS2 is complete. The plan therefore provides no flexibility for the delivery of housing in the village. Further, the Plan does not take account the loss and abandonment of homes as a result of HS2 is we have estimated at around 55 dwellings or 20.91% of the housing stock in the village. Further land therefore needs to be allocated. The site at Cromwell Lane would be a suitable Green Belt release and is isolated from HS2. Evidence has previously been submitted - centrally located, close to public transport and employment opportunities. Vehicular access can be achieved and work has been undertaken to demonstrate landscape and visual impacts are acceptable. Further the site can delivered in 5 years. A similar site to the north is proposed for allocation in Coventry's Local Plan.

OMISSION SITE
The site has an 'unfettered' planning history; has a suitable point of access; does not serve to exacerbate an existing problem of a decreasing gap between the village edge and south Warwick; does not form part of a proposed 'Area of Coalescence Protection; is in an area where the landscape impact has already been considered acceptable by the Parish Council, District Council and planning committee in granting the adjacent site; and importantly is of sufficient size to deliver some form of real community benefit to the village alongside a proportion of residential development.

- land south of Old Warwick Road, Kingswood can be accessed and serviced from Old Warwick Road using existing access as a separate development site. Existing access serves the Tan House.
- can be fully built out within 5 years, would be released for development immediately upon exclusion from Green Belt through development plan process.
- enclosed by established boundaries, relates well to existing pattern of built development. New housing would not extend into open land

Agree in principle with the proposed allocation of Site H28 for approximately 120 dwellings given it offers a sustainable and logical extension to the settlement of Hatton Park.
However, there is a strip of land to the east of the proposed allocation which is within the control of Taylor Wimpey adjacent to Ugly Bridge Road. In our view, extending the allocated area to cover the entirety of the land in Taylor Wimpey's control would form a more logical extension to Hatton Park. Moreover, the omission of this strip of land will render it redundant from any viable continued use as an agricultural landholding. Should the Council be seeking to enhance landscaping on the eastern edge of the proposed residential development, then we consider that this would be better achieved by including the land within the allocated area.

WDC has allocated a additional sites for housing through the Proposed Modifications to meet increased housing requirement including a number of Green Belt sites.
Mod6 states that in total 9,369 dwellings are to be delivered on sites allocated in the Plan bringing the total provision to 17,577 dwellings.
Whilst the identified housing land supply (17,577 dwellings) is above the agreed objectively
assessed housing need(16,776 dwellings) and therefore allows for some flexibility if allocated sites fail to come forward/are delivered with reduced capacity, the proposed housing land supply does not provide sufficient flexibility to significantly boost supply of housing in the District.
The proposed supply is only 801 dwellings above the identified requirement, representing less than 5% of the
overall need and is not sufficiently flexible to ensure that the LP can readily adapt to changing circumstances.
The LP is not effective as it risks not delivering the full objectively assessed housing requirements unless additional sites are allocated to provide for greater choice.

We agree in principle with the proposed allocation of Site H44 for residential development. However, given it offers a sustainable and logical extension to the north of Leamington Spa we consider that a larger allocation could be delivered on the proposed safeguarded area of the Site within the Plan period - with the whole Site being under the control of Taylor Wimpey.

Support allocation of Westwood Heath.
No compelling policy justification for identifying H42 in preference to S1 and indeed there is an acknowledgement from the Council that residential development can be accommodated on S1 without any adverse impact on amenity.
Important to secure delivery of community infrastructure in early phases of development to ensure sustainable development patterns can be established and new residents get access to facilities quickly.
First phase of residential development should be planned and delivered in a way that would facilitate delivery of "Community Hub".
Seeking combined H42 / S1 allocation that could be comprehensively planned and phased.

The proposed site at Burrow Hill nursery is not sufficiently well justified. The site being promoted by my clients to r/o Cromwell Lane and Hodgetts Lane is more appropriate and sustainable. See also reps to Mod 8 which argue the plan is unsound due to the approach it takes to accommodating the needs of the City. As a result the site r/o Cromwell Lane and Hodgetts Lane should be allocated and shown on the policies map 6.
The Burrow Hill Nursery site is not as well located for buses, the railway stationat Tile Hill, new facilities at Westwood Heath. IOt is also likely to experience noise problems due to location adjacent to HS2 tunnel portal. Further a high pressure pipeline runs through part of the site and is on an aquifer with medium/high vulnerability. Finally development here would have an impact on landscape.
None of these constraints apply to the land r/o Cromwell Lane and Hodgetts Lane. The access to this site is now resolved, the site is in an area of lower landscape value and development is achievable subject to landscaping. This site is therefore more appropriate and its delivery is less constrained by HS2

The Coventry claim that they do not have any alternative housing sites and need to build in Warwickshire has not been critically examined by WDC. The Coventry 2016 draft Local Plan shows large areas of Coventry Greenbelt that can be developed which would have far less damage than WDC's proposals and would not contravene the aims of the NPPF.
