Planning in Warwickshire has been a disaster for years. Ill thought out schemes, seemingly zero control on contractors resulting in shoddy workmanship often running over pre-agreed deadlines. The result, financial impact on local businesses and people, time wasted and lines of traffic emitting CO2 into the atmosphere.

The South Warwickshire Councils must continually review the Local Housing Need up to adoption, they must consider an increased higher housing need, implement a 5% lapse rate to account for unimplemented commitments, and reassess the existing commitments and windfall allowance as outlined.

We do not need the amount of housing specified above. These numbers are absurd. Stratford Upon Avon is suffering as it is, please invest more in the highstreet rather than in building housing. Plus, there needs to be an investigation into the amout of housing that is already unoccupied in the area. These needs counting and filling before the building of more low quality properties which many cannot afford.

Creating new communities away from towns, like the new builds in Long Marston, which include new schools / facilities / shops, are a much better option than continually adding houses to the edge of Stratford Town. Gaydon and Long Marston are well placed for travel. I’ve lived in two new builds on the edge of town and no changes were made to the infrastructure to support this, worsening existing issues. Please introduce more infrastructure, including relief roads and buses and more destinations as part of any developments in the Stratford area, with intention of directing traffic away from the centre.

I couldn't work out where exactly to put my comments on developments in Kenilworth as a whole.
Schools - All schools in Kenilworth are at capacity so more schools must be built if new houses are to be built
Community Centres / Village Halls will also be needed.
Significant Green spaces and parks will need to be provided and existing ones improved. In the 4 years I have lived in Kenilworth I have seen a rapid deterioration in the quality and upkeep of children's play areas within the town.

Developments are in open countryside with a high visual impact. Merging of villages = detrimental impact to their character. Land is currently actively farmed. No infrastructure in place to cope: limited public transport, narrow busy lanes, A46 at capacity. No mains gas, limited mains sewage, most houses rely on septic tanks in rural villages. Frequent power cuts, grid will not cope with additional housing especially if they use heat pumps. Local primaries are full and no secondary school in walking distance. No dental/NHS services able to cope. Negative environmental impact, increased noise, air,water pollution. Character of South Warwickshire permanently destroyed.

I think the methodology is flawed. The underlying forecasts for population growth and housing needs are based on some false premises. Insufficient allowance or priority has been given to brownfields development. Also, the current designated greenbelt areas are an anachronism. These have forced the huge over development to the south of Warwick and Leamington while preserving some much less attractive countryside south of Coventry. There should be more strategic growth areas in the greenbelt and greybelt areas around Coventry and north of Warwick and Leamington in order to preserve the character of south Warwickshire.

The wanton destruction of our wild habitats is despicable - these are areas that need to be protected at all costs for now and for our future generations. Our wildlife so special to our county needs the same empathy and compassion to protect their habitats. There are plenty of brown field sites and disused industrial estates that would be better placed to create housing - what has happened to the development of the ‘canal quarter’ in Stratford - brown field site that has been demolished for housing but now stands derelict and pointless

The very suggestion that development on the scale envisaged by the plan can be both sustainable and mitigate climate change is utterly misleading.

The only way of mitigating climate change is by reducing emissions. Everything envisaged in the plan will increase emissions - new building, population growth, more transport and the associated services and resources such as hospitals, schools, care facilities.

Nothing in the Policy will actually reduce emissions let alone pollution. The results of the almost unbridled population growth will be a disaster for climate change, and the standard of living and wellbeing of everyone in South Warwickshire.

Ymatebydd: Gladman Developments

Gladman support the identification of 54,700 dwellings as a minimum number of homes required across South Warwickshire over the 2025-2050 plan period. This is the mandatory starting point. There may be a requirement for the councils to include an apportionment of unmet housing and/or employment need from the Coventry and Warwickshire Housing Market Area and/or the Greater Birmingham & Black Country Housing Market Area.
The draft SWLP is relying on a substantial windfall allowance of 9,375 dwellings over the plan period or approx. 17.1% of the overall housing supply. Gladman strongly question why there is a windfall allowance of 375 dpa (both authorities combined) included in every monitoring year of the plan period.
Gladman recommends the allocation of additional medium and large-scale sites on the edge of sustainable settlements across South Warwickshire, instead of relying on windfalls to provide greater certainty in meeting the housing requirement over the
plan period. The additional sites would ensure the continued vitality and viability of the settlements and identified housing needs are met in full.
Gladman are generally supportive of the minimum overall housing requirement contained within the Draft SWLP based on the Standard Method requirement. However, we have suggested potential amendments to increase the housing requirement of the SWLP.
Gladman stress that the strategy for the SWLP needs to look at sites which can be delivered in the short and medium terms. As currently drafted, there are 24 Strategic Growth Locations (SGL) and 12 Potential New Settlement Locations identified. It is unknown at this stage whether the SGL sites which are preferred will be broken down into a number of smaller development parcels which will be identified for draft housing allocation status. Gladman consider that smaller local sites for housing must be delivered alongside strategic site opportunities to support the housing supply over the entire plan period alongside ensuring the vitality and sustainability of local services, facilities and businesses

Revisions to the National Planning Policy Framework in December 2024 aim to support the delivery of 1.5 million homes during the current Parliament. The South Warwickshire Local Plan should provide for at least 2,188 dwellings annually, exceeding the outdated HEDNA assessment. Recent demographic data suggests an even higher need, particularly for affordable housing, which exceeds the Standard Method figure. Southam is identified as a sustainable location for growth due to its existing services and facilities. Catesby Estates advocate for allocating Land east of Banbury Road for residential development in the South Warwickshire Local Plan.

No.
The SWLP Preferred Options does not currently conform to national planning policy and should be
redrafted to reflect the latest version of the National Planning Policy Framework, currently that
published in December 2024 (with February 2025 amendments).
Taking this into account, Draft Policy 1 should confirm the key priorities of the SWDP as required
by the Framework - to significantly boost the supply of homes in a sustainable manner, and to
provide sufficient employment land to meet the Districts’ needs. The Policy must NOT set maximum
provision figures as this would unnecessarily restrict the ability of the area to meet the key aims.
In respect of housing provision, all reference to the 2022 HEDNA should be removed. Instead the
policy should set out the minimum number of homes needed assessed using the Standard Method
(in accordance with Framework paragraph 62). Adequate flexibility must be built in to meet
changing circumstances, and to accommodate housing needs arising from beyond the Districts’
boundaries.
The Plan proposes to meet much of the housing requirement though the allocation of new
settlements and significant extensions to existing settlements. This is supported as an appropriate
response to meeting housing needs within the Districts. Particular attention should be given to
accommodating development in locations which are already supported by necessary infrastructure
and facilities, as well as those where they can be provided.
In accordance with Framework paragraph 22 the plan period should be extended from 25 years to
at least 30 years, and the housing and employment requirements increased accordingly.

I broadly agree. However, any developments in the Stratford-on-Avon area must take account of the following: terrible out-dated transport infrastructure, the need to retain green open spaces to ensure gaps between villages to prevent urban sprawl, the need to provide better community facilities- including schools, pubs, shops and community centres to preserve/enhance communities rather than isolate people.

This will have a significant negative impact on the important habitats and protected species across the area. The Local Plan must deliver houses in suitable numbers for residents but in suitable locations and must not disregard the Environment Act 2021 target of 30% of land allocated to nature and in recovery by 2030. The Plan also allocates many housing sites in the Green Belt, which is an important land designation intended to protect the edges of wildlife sites and provide a transitional and safe area for important protected and declining species.

As outlined in our response to Chapter 4 given that the revised National Planning Policy Framework (December 2024) has now been published with the new Standard Method in place this must now be applied, and the plan must accommodate the higher housing figure (2,178 dwellings per annum) as a minimum local housing need figure which amounts to 54,450 dwellings for the 25 year plan period. In addition to this, any needs that cannot be met within neighbouring planning authority areas should also be taken into account in establishing the amount of housing to be planned for.

The SWLP acknowledges a housing need of 2,188 dpa per the standard method, totalling 54,700 homes over 25 years but also references the HEDNA at 1,679 dpa (41,975 homes), meeting approximately 76% of the standard method's requirement. The plan period should be extended to at least 30 years for a total of 65,640 homes at minimum. However, based on the evidenced affordable housing need and employment land supply, to comply with the NPPF and address affordable housing needs, the SWLP should plan for the higher figures as set out by the standard method.

Insufficient housing delivery based on old standard method. Excessive windfall allowance over the plan period. Over-reliance on Strategic Growth Areas and New Settlements, with inherent delays and complications, will fail to meet housing need in the shorter term, resulting in speculative development in areas less suitable for development. Therefore suggest more allocations of small and medium sized sites on the edge of existing settlements.
