Ymatebydd: Godwin Developments

Godwin Developments acknowledge the policy direction laid in Draft Policy Direction – 25 – Strategic Design Principles. It is important that a high standard of design is incorporated as this has long lasting benefits for the development and its impact on the surrounding locality.

With regards to Godwin Developments land interests at Aylesbury Road it is contended that the site is in a sustainable location and is in walking distance of a range of services and facilities within the village. The Masterplan as contained in the Vision Document recognises and utilises an existing Public Right of Way that crosses the site. This feature has been incorporated into the concept Masterplan and follows a similar approach to that followed on the neighbouring Aylesbury Park scheme.

We support the design principles identified in Draft Policy Direction 25. However, it is noted that this is a “Policy Direction” that will be refined into a full draft policy in the Pre-Submission SWLP. It is, therefore, uncertain what the practical implications of the design principles will be at the present time. It is consequently difficult to comment further on the suitability or otherwise of a strategic design policy given the lack of detail and we reserve the right to comment on this at a later stage.

In BW there would be insufficient future employment options so a settlement should be developed near one of the major investment sites. In BW people could not meet regular day to day needs such as employment within a reasonable walking distance of their homes,

While the policy’s reference to the 20-minute neighbourhood concept aligns with the NPPF’s sustainable travel aims, the NPPF does not mention this approach, and its application within South Warwickshire needs further consideration. The SWLP technical evidence “Guide to existing housing densities in South Warwickshire” defines a 20-minute neighbourhood as achieving access to everyday services within a 10-minute walk or cycle each way. Greater flexibility should be applied to acknowledge the challenges of implementing the 20-minute neighbourhoods’ model in areas where everyday services are not available within such a short distance.

Yes. In particular the principles of the 20-minute neighbourhood support the development of New Settlements in order to ensure the provision of the required infrastructure (shops, etc.) is included from the outset.

Stratford’s SPD Part D makes reference to deterrence of crime and anti-social behaviour and also reduction of fear of crime. These matters are essential as per SDC’s statutory obligations as one partner of the South Warwickshire Community Safety Partnership and also with regard to the Serious Violence Duty. 'Creating safer places to live through design’ should be carried forward into policies in the new local plan and apply to housing, work places and public spaces. Careful and thoughtful design should ensure that community safety is paramount in creating the right ecosystem for the safety, health and wellbeing of residents.

While the policy’s reference to the 20-minute neighbourhood concept aligns with the NPPF’s sustainable travel aims, the NPPF does not mention this approach, and its application within South Warwickshire needs further consideration. The X2 New Settlement will provide a significant range of new services and facilities to account for the majority of everyday needs, however, should services exist in close proximity outside of the New Settlement but outside of a 20-minute walk or cycle, these proposals should not be negatively assessed on this basis.

You refer to "Creating attractive places where people want to be" and yet anyone driving into Leamington from the south can only be appalled and depressed by the swathes of identikit housing estates that have all presumably been passed and approved by the planning departments of the very same councils. Nowhere is the any evidence of design let alone good design, open spaces or community facilities - simply a race to the bottom to cram as many houses as possible on to each acre of land. We need a plan with real proposals and policies that can be implemented.

Although this seems reasonable, the development at X1, Barford would wholly destroy the current habitat. No amount of "nice" space or services would support the beautiful landscape and it's inhabitants. The introduction of housing will change the muddy single track lane to a double thoroughfare and the animals that wander through the hedgerow, across the lane and into adjoining fields would disappear. I do not agree the Strategic Design Principles will benefit the area.

Yes, I agree with the approach laid out in Draft Policy Direction-25- Strategic Design Principles. The emphasis on creating adaptable, sustainable, and diverse places that are sensitive to context and the environment aligns well with the principles of good design. The focus on integrating green infrastructure, climate adaptation, and promoting healthy, inclusive communities is essential for ensuring long-term sustainability. Additionally, ensuring that developments respect local heritage, character, and landscape enhances the sense of place, making areas more attractive and functional. The comprehensive approach outlined in the policy is well-rounded and supportive of quality development.
