We need to consider building to much higher densities around the key transport nodes of Warwick, Kenilworth, Leamington and Stratford. High quality taller development in urban areas close to transport interchanges is essential as it is the only truly sustainable development that can be delivered in the district. It is only in these areas where residents can truly be expected to live within walking distance to all their needs and not to have to rely on the private car.

Development density standards could be a useful tool, however the impact of additional housing on existing infrastructure needs to be taken account of.
For example, if local schools/medical facilities etc. are already oversubscribed, then the affirming a minimum and/or maximum housing density could become an artificial tool that could be used to size the development to remain below a threshold that would trigger provision or enhancement of existing facilities. That would not be for the benefit of new or existing residents.

This is a very wishy washy policy using terms such as appropriate levels. So this engenders distrust and an expectation that this will be a "gap" to drive high density levels through.

Density and the achievement of specific levels will have a number of wider impacts and affect other policy goals such as POS, BNG and NDSS. if all are to be achieved then the council will need to ensure that sufficient land is allocated.

The development in Kenilworth town, as it stands presently, is overstretched, and all present amenities as well as Schools, Police, Doctors Surgeries, Dentists, and having to travel distances to shop at various 'other' Supermarkets, renders this as a non - starter, because of ongoing building for which the shortcomings have not yet been realised.

Achieving a specific density along with other policy objectives such as BNG, POS and NDSS needs to ensure that there is sufficient land available to meet all these objectives as gross to net development ratios are likely to decrease.

The principle of Draft Policy Direction 8 is acceptable. The SWLP should ensure that policies regarding density align with Paragraphs 129 and 130 of the Framework, particularly local market conditions and viability (Paragraph 129b). Any density policy within the SWLP should acknowledge the impact that evidence-based housing needs.

C1 sits within Green Belt and the Arden Special Landscape area, and the main issue is the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area. The area is characterised by loose clusters of development in a rural setting, with winding lanes and established hedgerows. The proposed development would be incongruous in character and appearance to the existing rural settlement. Indeed it would result in the total destruction of a large section of Green Belt.
Furthermore, I do not agree with Green Belt areas being removed from the Green Belt designation.

High density housing is not good for the mental health of the population who live in these properties, the lack of garden space, buildings overlooking each other and the high volume of people all contribute to stress and impact on mental health

Densification needs to be approached with caution. Infilling should not proceed where this may result in loss of Public Open Space, Parks or Playing Fields leading to an imbalance of housing with such infrastructure.

Re BW settlement, which I am totally against, I would make the following observations.
This area is part of the Shakespeare experience which attracts thousands every year. Any development must take into consideration this aspect. Also it would be a country setting so larger plots would be required to blend in with the surrounding countryside.
Although there are stations there capacity cannot be inreased easily as the lines are slow speed to Coventry and Warwick and end on line branches.
For this reason garage and parking areas would have to be at higher levels. No street parking!

Alcester Town Council, Arrow with Weethley Parish Council, Kinwarton Parish Council, Wixford Parish Council and Great Alne Parish Council (together referred to as Alcester Parishes Group or ‘APG’) considers that density should be determined by the locality of the development which may vary considerably throughout the Plan area. Design Codes should dictate density, but these should be very local – specific to a town or a group of villages. They should not be district wide. Further information is needed on the designation of Design Codes and how they are allocated by area.

Densification is a very effective mans of reducing the land take for development. It also assist greatly with the provision of infrastructure and facilities. The plan should come down much more strongly in favour of far greater housing density than is traditional in South Warwickshire. The draft leaves the policy very vague and unquantifiable. Developers will tend to favour less dense development which is more profitable for them.

Godwin Developments acknowledge the policy direction regarding density of development. Whilst it is accepted that optimising density can provide social, economic and environmental benefits, it is contended that the density of development should also consider a range of prevailing factors including the surrounding context of the site, character and extent of development in the surrounding area.
This approach has been followed in relation to our land interests at Aylesbury Road, Hockley Heath.

How can you build near stratford which is so highly dense that its infrastructure cannot cope with this huge amount of new residents who will need to access stratford for amenities?
