Densification is a very effective means of reducing the land take for development. It also assists 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

How does your recommendation to not define density enable you to protect our neighbourhoods? There should be a maximum density that is in keeping with what is around it. Over crowded developments have so little parking that this has an impact on the surrounding roads and quality of life for those who live there. Developments that are out of keeping with their neighbouring properties completely change the feel of that area, there's minimal green space and no one seems to care about that.

The principle of Draft Policy Direction 8 is acceptable, as it aligns with Chapter 11 of the Framework (Making effective use of land). 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, such as the mix and type of housing, will impact the densities that can be viably and feasibly delivered.

Consideration should be given to developing at significantly higher densities around the key transport hubs of Warwick, Kenilworth, Leamington, and Stratford. In these areas, high-quality, taller buildings that are integrated with transport interchanges should be prioritised, as this is the most sustainable development for the district. These urban centres, which are well-connected by public transport, offer the best opportunity for residents to live closely to essential services, shops, amenities, all within walking distance. In such locations, it becomes feasible to reduce the reliance on private cars, encouraging more sustainable living, maximising the use of existing infrastructure and reduce urban sprawl.

We fully support the SWLP making full use of sustainable brownfield land before development is considered in other locations. Stoneleigh Park (HELAA ID100) is a large previously developed site in the Green Belt. The proposed Kingswood Business Park (HELAA reference ID99) contains significant areas of built and permitted development. A large proportion of this site is currently being used as a HS2 compound that’s use is expected to cease in 2030.

It is not surprising that developers don’t want optimal densities as they have a fiduciary duty to maximise profit, rather than what is good for residents overall. Specifying suitably high densities in urban areas and the centre of new settlements is crucial for effective 20 minute neighbourhoods and reducing the space required for housing. Advantages include making it feasible for most children to walk or cycle to school. Serious consideration must be given to reducing S106 and CIL contribution, as well as car parking requirements in suitable high-density locations.

The total area of SG20 covers 254.55 hectares up to the Wixfird Road from Bidford. You can potentially get up to 35 houses per hectare that could equate to over 9,000 dwellings. This would have a HUGE IMPACT on The Graftons and it is important that it does not go into land bank for the next 25 years as this would totally erode the open countryside by an over dense population.

All sounds very good but none of the existing policies have been followed so why would this one be followed.

Most of the proposed development for new settlemtns is in open countrside, this demands low density, small scale developments; 5 -10 houses at a time.

The level of density proposed is far too high for a rural town and shouldn't be able to be increased but the focus needs to be on reducing it. rural areas and the rural way of life must be protected and by there very nature they don't not have dense housing. If this density is not reduced this will impact of biodiversity and the activeness of the rural towns ultimately impacting tourism, which is the lifeblood for Stratford and Warwickshire.

High density provides lower cost homes with local access to local facilities without the need for significant travel. This must be a factor in providing the number of homes needed in Warwickshire. Most people just want their own front door, a safe place to raise a family or to retire. Most people may want but don't need a private garden, private parking and 4 bedrooms. My work colleagues generally just need to start their housing journey and something adequate is often exactly what the need.

This density section is too vague. Developers will misuse it to build expensive houses unsuited to those aged 20-40.

Hamlet Way CV370AL is about 282 metres long ((0.2 miles). The roads, open spaces and buildings fronting Hamlet way are about 0.86ha in which there are 140 properties comprising twenty 3-bed semi-detached and 8 3-bed terraces, 108 flats/ maisonettes 1 detached and 3 other dwellings. This equates to 160 dwellings per hectare at 0.006 ha each, yet it looks spacious.

Except for individual houses, housing development in the greenbelt should be creatively designed at 160 dwellings per hectare, sparing the land.

We need the high densities in towns to enable 20-minute neighbourhoods and all the positive outcomes this brings. It also reduces the space needed for the housing requirement. Providing apartments will mean that first time buyers are more likely to enter the housing market too. We need to use the existing infrastructure within the towns rather than concreting over more new open space. Developers should not get to decide as they are only interested in profit and not what is good for the area and the residents - the council should be in charge!

The draft policy seeks to incorporate densities in design codes which may include areas for higher density. Flexibility in these codes is essential to prevent conflicts that might impede the growth strategy, especially for new settlements and strategic growth locations. Larger settlements may encompass varied densities, with higher densities near local centres or transport hubs and lower densities on peripheries. An overarching density strategy, for example with indicative density ranges, could allow for site-specific codes to address site specific requirements which would assist the council's development management team in assessing suitability and achievability of densities in proposed developments.

Building at much higher densities around the key transport hubs of Warwick, Kenilworth, Leamington, and Stratford need to be considered. Developing high-quality, taller buildings in urban areas close to transport links is crucial, as it’s the most sustainable way to grow the district. These are the areas where residents can realistically live within walking distance of everything they need, reducing the reliance on private cars. By focusing development around transport interchanges, we can create more vibrant, connected communities while minimizing the environmental impact of car-dependent living. This approach is essential for the district’s long-term sustainability.

The vast majority of proposed developments will injure or displace the green belt in the areas in and around Kenilworth. This is unacceptable, with the integrity of identity being eroded continuously between towns and settlements, e.g. Kenilworth and Coventry is beginning to look like a smudge on the local map such that it is hard to differentiate between the two locations. The fundamentals of the green belt definition are set aside by the SWLP plan. I propose that you satisfy the full growth of the 2188 houses per year (over 25 years) in non-green belt locations, maybe one large settlement.
