Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

However, this applies to existing town centres too, not just new neighbourhoods on the edge of settlements. 20-minute walking distances from existing town centres should be a criteria for maximising new housing on brownfield land within that catchment, especially near existing rail stations like in Leamington's Old Town. I can't see this being included in the plan at present.

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

What is a 20 minute neighbourhood? This is jargon and needs to be explained.

More emphasis needs to be placed on green open and active spaces for communities and relieve pressure by developers to maximise profits on the conversion of land to housing, by reducing green spaces.

More emphasis needs to be placed on active travel access and moving through neighbourhoods.

More emphasis. Ed’s to be included in the integration of the new with the existing …

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

It's all very well having a set of principles but it's the implementation of them that counts. Will the LPA require developers to build homes fit for the future: e.g. with solar panels and air/ground-source heat pumps as standard. Will the LPA require that homes are built with space for nature: e.g. bat bricks, swift boxes and hedgehog highways as standard. And will the LPA ensure that Planning Enforcement is sufficiently resourced to be able to ensure that developers deliver what is required.

Approach sounds ok in print BUT it is not happening to Kenilworth/ Leamington Spa in practice.
Need more brownfield sites - building over shops for example. Houses being built without bus routes or infrastructure.
Follow the Australian principle of building infrastructure first, before housing.

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

Developers must be held to account in the delivery of well designed, contextually appropriate housing. A 'copy and paste' approach of cheap and unsustainable housing that could be anywhere in the country must not be accepted. Good design does not have to cost more. IF new settlements are required, they should contribute to the character of South Warwickshire, not detract. There seems to be no care for what is built in current policy and this must be addressed before it is too late. Design principles that encourage creativity and thought must be put in place.

Agree in principle but the 20 minute neighbourhood should not be a dictate or pre-requisite. As with any development settlement the design principles such as those in this draft policy should be for settlements over 300 houses.

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

Specifically with regard to the proposed new settlement BW. The area and density of development outlined cannot possibly be justified. It would destroy the local character and historic built environment. Pedestrians and cyclists wont be prioratised, it will not be a 20-minute neighborhood, the majority of settlers will be required to flood the A3400 and any feeder roads to the other major road links within South Warwickshire, i.e. A46, M40 and A3400 in particular. Major employers are clearly close to the M40. The so called rail link will not help in anyway. In summary this is a very bad idea.

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

This all sounds good, but it must be MADE to happen. Recent development to the north of Aylesbury Road in SG24 has led to a gated community of large expensive houses. This is not a good use of land. Where are the affordable houses here, or don't the wealthy want to mix with undesirable poorer people?

Please have joined up planning-addressing the long term complete/whole picture.
Please dont keep saying we dont have the money for infrastructure or its a Highways/ County / Government problem - if that is the case we really should not be planning new " towns" equally I believe the money is there with appropiate agreements with developers.
Plan holistically - it can be done but if we cannot continue to plan in silos -we will continue to fudge key decisions.

Who is going to say what is good design? Initially planning officers and planning committees, but I suspect that in many cases these decisions will be challenged, sometimes successfully. Then there will inevitably be case law built up and I doubt if anyone will then challenge design.

20 minute neighbourhoods will depend on others providing the facilities and ensuring they are viable - surely this is outside the control of the planning authority?

All the new builds I've seen recently are really ugly looking - can we please put a bit of character into our new builds? There's a lot of great history in Warwickshire that we can be inspired by. I also think that having lots of green spaces is really important and things like trees lining roads needs to be a priority.

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

The principle of 20 minute neighbourhood is a good principle and a reason for not having further large developments in Wellesbourne. Already people have to drive from new developments to the village facilities especially the school as it is too far for young children to walk. The roads through the village are busy and there are no cycle paths and existing paths are too narrow for children to cycle on.

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

The principles outlined are sensible and compelling, however the strategic growth proposal for BW is highly unlikely to meet these ambitions, particularly of the 20 minute neighbourhood. The lack of public transport and poor road networks make it unrealistic for people to achieve this when they are likely to be driving or stuck in traffic for many hours during their working day.

We desperately need the input of good architects. The ghastly mess that has been left to us here in the town (Birmingham Road) with cheap and shoddy industrial buildings and no real work to landscape/green the town is shameful. Having been to areas in Spain where they have created living walls (actually we do have one, near the cinema in Bell Court) and beautified entire urban districts shows what can be done if the will is there.

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

The 20 minute neighbourhood initiative is highly desirable but more difficult to achieve by tacking on additional buildings to an established neighbourhood than by building new settlements in which this can be a design feature. In many current developments routes to amenities are inevitably along roads and short cuts for pedestrians and cycles are blocked by established buildings.
