Your potential new settlements F1 and X2/FG11 are too close to other settlements - eg Ufton and Radford Semele and, more importantly, proposed new solar farms which in the case of F1 are WITHIN the proposed settlement. This can't be right and leaves me thinking you can't have researched this properly. Either you want solar farms or houses on these sites. but not both in the same place! Preferably neither. Please do your homework!

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.

Support in principle, but as per comments on SG17, would maintain that particular allocation in the most remote part of the 2 districts (and also remote from urban centres in neighbouring Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire) would not create sustainable development

It is considered the primary purpose of the Plan should be to meet the growth requirements expected of South Warwickshire in a sustainable way.

The focus is on strategic scale developments and ‘big players’. A more balanced approach is necessary.

The plan should take views on the balance of economic growth between urban and edge of urban locations with the scale of growth that might be reasonably accommodated in more rural parts of the plan area. Smaller scale developments can be more easily accommodated without the need for strategic improvements to infrastructure, as is the case at Claybank Farm.

The approach appears to be focused on strategic scale developments and ‘big players’. A more balanced approach is necessary. There also appears to be a strong ‘urban-focussed’ agenda. A more balanced approach is required, given the prevailing character of the area. The plan should take views on the balance of economic growth.

I do not fully agree with Draft Policy Direction 1. The plan does not prioritise brownfield sites strongly enough, risking unjustified Green Belt loss, particularly at SG04 (South of Kenilworth), which threatens Kenilworth Castle’s historic setting. Infrastructure commitments are weak, with no guarantee that schools, healthcare, or transport will be in place before large-scale development. The housing target of up to 2,188 dwellings per year seems excessive and lacks clear local justification. Sustainable development should focus on brownfield land, realistic housing needs, and infrastructure-led planning. The approach must be revised to prevent irreversible environmental and heritage damage.

Maximum provision figures unnecessarily restrict capacity to meet these key aims and shouldn't be included. All references to the 2022 HEDNA should be removed and a minimum housing need assessed in accordance with the Standard Method as per NPPF Paragraph 62, with sufficient flexibility to meet changing circumstances and housing needs arising beyond the Districts' boundaries.

New settlements and significant extensions to existing settlements are appropriate ways to meet housing needs. Development should be accommodated in locations which already have necessary infrastructure and facilities and areas where they can be provided.

The document does not conform to national planning policy and must be redrafted to reflect the latest National Planning Policy Framework version.

Draft Policy 1 must confirm the key priorities of the SWLP as required by the Framework - to significantly boost the supply of homes in a sustainable manner, and provide sufficient employment land to meet the Districts’ needs. It must NOT set maximum provision figures. These would unnecessarily restrict the ability of the area to meet the key aims.

For housing provision, references to the 2022 HEDNA should be removed. The policy should set out the minimum number of homes needed assessed using the Standard Method (see NPPF paragraph 62). Adequate flexibility must be incorporated for changing circumstances, and to accommodate housing needs arising from beyond the Districts’ boundaries.

We support meeting much of the housing requirement though new settlements and significant extensions to existing settlements. Particular attention should be given to accommodating development in locations already supported by necessary infrastructure and facilities, and those where they can be provided. In accordance with NPPF paragraph 22 the plan period should be extended from 25 years to at least 30 years, and housing and employment requirements increased accordingly.

Community-led affordable homes in smaller settlements should be encouraged alongside wider development requirements as these homes achieve genuine affordability, reduce loneliness, strengthen social cohesion and public health, and tend to achieve high energy-efficiency standards. Community-led development builds a sense of community ownership and can strengthen community relationships as goals are identified and then turned into the reality of homes which let locals stay local (if that is their preference).
There will always be groups for whom rural housing presents employment, social, health and transport challenges so it is also appropriate that affordable housing growth is required in larger settlements.

The Council may have engineered its propsals to make them appear as though they represdent sustainable development. But the reality is that the bulk of them are not sustainable. Traffic is now worse than it ever has been, large housing developments have been approved without any increase in services - schools, GP services, public transport. During the last 5 years Hatton Park has seen the withdrwawl of a scheduled bus service and Hatton Statiion has seen a significant reduction in trains which stop there. The proposals will damage the environment, reduce amenity - largely in order to increase CIL payments.

Bishop’s Tachbrook has absorbed more than its fair share of greenfield development, with over 5,000 new homes built locally. The proposed strategic growth areas (SG9, SG10, SG11) would overwhelm already strained infrastructure. Sustainable travel is lacking, with no bus route to Warwick and poor rail access. New settlements must have proper infrastructure, avoiding past failures like Europa Way. Town centre housing can support key workers, businesses and reduce infrastructure costs. Future development must prioritise infrastructure first to avoid repeating mistakes from the 2017 Local Plan.

The draft policy sets out that the SWLP makes provision for at least the HEDNA number of 1679 dwellings per annum, “with sufficient flexibility to accommodate up to 2,188 dwellings per annum, in line with the 2024 NPPF Standard Method”. We consider that the SWLP should provide for the Standard Method housing requirement as a minimum to ensure that sufficient housing is delivered across the plan period. Planning to provide for less than the Standard Method housing requirement is not a sound basis for the plan.

Draft Policy Direction 1 still makes reference to the HEDNA. This may be relevant to the economic requirement but NPPF Paragraph 62 is clear that the Standard method must be used as the basis for calculating housing requirements. All references to the HEDNA should be removed from sections applying to the proposed housing requirement. The policy should also be changed to make it clear that the 54,700 dwellings to be planned for through the SWLP is a minimum rather than an "up to" figure. This is essential to comply with Paragraph 62 as well as 36(a) and 36(d) of the NPPF.

Table 3 lists sources of housing supply and a residual "to-find" figure to be delivered through new allocations. It isn't clear whether this represents all sites with a permission or a 'discount' has been applied for non-delivery. There is also an assumption of 375 dwellings on windfall sites. The supporting text should explain the evidence these numbers have been derived from. The only relevant evidence on the website is the Urban Capacity Study which has a figure of 19,950 dwellings rather than the 26,443. It is difficult to judge the soundness of the emerging SWLP without this information.

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.
