Most of the available space will be from our green belt. You will be bringing growth housing needs from councils that have got into debt by ignoring a realistic budget and use of council taxes. I want Warwickshire to stay independent and not be joined up with or by urban sprawl from either Coventry or Birmingham. In both these locations they have a greater multicultural society that doesn't exist in Warwickshire which cannot be ignored. Perhaps encompassed but not ignored.

There is a need for greater certainty and quantification on meeting cross-boundary needs. The suggestion in the Policy Direction for the capacity to be identified on reserve sites released only when supply in the source area falls below 5 years is unworkable. Also, this forgets that some of the requirement might be for employment and other development. The proximity of Elmhurst Farm to the conurbation is well-placed to help meet any such shortfall.

South Warwickshire has some very particular features that place unique pressures on the region. With a green-belt to the north and the Cotswolds to the south, development is sandwiched between the two. To accommodate over-spill from adjacent regions undermines the appeal of the area, which currently makes it a popular destination to visitors from those very regions.

The concept of the green belt was to prevent urban sprawl. It makes a mockery of that policy to encourage dwellings beyond the green belt, and to thereby encourage commuting through the green belt. The additional journeys ought to be considered in assessing the carbon footprint and sustainability.

There are plenty of brownfield sites that can be developed in these areas. My concern is developers find Warwickshire an attractive place to build because the average price of houses is much higher than in Birmingham and Coventry and this is about money not housing need otherwise the brownfield sites in these areas would be developed. also these areas are major employment zones so their housing need needs to be accommodated by them otherwise it will involve extensive travel for residents for work.

This policy assumes the peoples agreement for unitary council and undermines protections for local council areas such as Stratford district, focussing on the numbers game of meeting targets whilst paying no regard to improvements for real life local communities. This policy is short sighted and If this goes ahead, it will destroy not only the countryside but whole communities creating a devistating inbalance to our traditional culture and harmony built up over centuries and lost forever.

It is a flawed argument and it flies in the face of logic. As I've stated elsewhere, housing must be close to where people work, i.e. in the conurbations, not encouraging long distance commuting by car and turning once thriving communities into dormitory towns and villages. The recent massive expansions of both Shipston and Wellesbourne are cases in point.
We need to feed a growing population whilst preserving and restoring biodiversity in our beleaguered countryside. the catastrophic decline in wildlife, in particular farmland birds, must be addressed by good husbandry and habitat restoration, not building dormitory towns as overspill locations.

Given the scale of planned housing growth in the new standard model, we would be concerned about additional housing development above these figures given the sizeable growth in population planned and the impact on existing communities and services. There is a real risk that the existing services would be unable to cope with the population surge, for services which are already very challenged. SWFT would need to carefully consider any additional mitigations required to meet extended housing growth, for example an even stronger commitment to affordable and family housing to support local workforce growth to deliver increased demand for services.

A proliferation of small scale developments may result in circling historic towns providing a collar affecting both the effectiveness of new development and the pre-existing town. Therefore the cumulative effect of small scale developments should be included in the acceptability criteria. Stratford already is choked by an excess of bland estates encircling the compact medieval town centre.

The policy makes no mention of the specific transport and connectivity requirements of accommodating growth needs from outside the SWLP area. These transport routes will be essential for commuting to employment outside South Warwickshire. A particular problem is the barrier that the River Avon interposes for people living south who want to travel to Coventry or Birmingham. For development of the Long Marston site, for example, there will have to be a bypass road south of Stratford with routes via new bridges to both the north-west and north-east. linking to the A46.

SWLP should be based on need within this area only. South Warwickshire has significant rural areas and is facing less financial pressures than Councils in the Greater Birmingham area. These factors will pressure building in South Warwickshire to meet Greater Birmingham needs as becomes an "easier solution". SW loses Local Wildlife Sites, Potential Wildlife Sites, Sites of Special Scientific Interest, designated Nature Reserves and other important sites which are incredibly important for wildlife within our natural landscape. It increases travel miles, leaves people away from employment and increases carbon footprint and reduces biodiversity.

Policy Direction 4: This does not recognise that Coventry has a surplus of housing land supply and reduced annual housing requirement: under the NSM, an annual housing target 50% lower. It can now accommodater some of Warwick and Stratford Districts's housing requirements.
Change from the pre-Dec 2024 figures (DPA):
Warwickshire (all 5 Districts) old SM 2315 NSM 3907 +1592
Coventry old SM 3082 NSM 1388 - 1694
Coventry has an excess of supply over requirement of 7,900. SWLP requirement to 2040 can be reduced by 6-7.000.
The LPAs should now negotiate for Coventry to accept some of the SWLP requirement.

St Philips welcome the acknowledgement by the SWA that the SWLP may need to address unmet housing needs from neighbouring authorities. However, St Philips have concerns about the SWLP's approach, which appears to defer addressing these needs until they are explicitly defined and linked to 'reserve sites' that have not yet been identified. Given the urgency of the situation in the GBBCHMA, the SWLP should make provisions for these unmet needs upon adoption. It is clear that a significant shortfall exists, and St Philips believe the SWLP can sustainably contribute to meeting these needs now.

I believe it is essential to assist neighbouring Authorities in addressing unmet housing needs, aligned with the duty to cooperate and national policy soundness tests. WDC and SDC are part of two housing market areas, and there is an indication of potential unmet need that requires further investigation. The South Warwickshire Local Plan should be flexible enough to accommodate this need as it develops. I recommend that the information on housing needs be made publicly available to ensure transparency and that South Warwickshire continuously reviews its capacity to meet these needs effectively.
