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. These aims are unrealistic for larger strategic residential developments located adjacent to larger settlements, as well as developments within smaller settlements, where infrastructure constraints and service provision limitations make such proximity difficult to achieve.

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.

Disagree;
Pedestrians and cycles should be separated from vehicle movements, the safety of all road users should be prioritised in the hierarchy of pedestrians first, cyclists second and road users third, but the safety and convenience of all should be considered to make sure all travel infrastructure optimised for all, not one group at the expense of the others.

These principles are laudable in themselves in pointing towards new settlements being self-sufficient, with all within reach of residents within 20 minutes on foot. If they can get to work and avail themselves of shops and other amenities in this manner then carbon emissions will be held in check. If, however, residents need to use their cars to travel to and from work in urban areas, then pollution and congestion will ensue. If the development is to truly enhance the natural environment, it needs to be of a scale that does not overshadow or emasculate its inherent significance.

BDW supports the strategic design principles in the SWLP, aligning with the National Design Guide and NPPF to promote sustainable, community-focused development. The proposed Cophams Hill project exemplifies the 20-minute neighbourhood concept, integrating essential services within walking or cycling distance to reduce car dependence, enhance local economies, and foster social connections.

Whilst many of the stated goals of the Council's polices are fine, the Council's track record in delivering them has been poor. In particular, the Council has failed to properly protect green belt land, poorly executed road projects, it has become too close to developers resulting in inappropriate residential development and a mix of properties which do not meet the needs of local residents. It has chased CILS payments to the detriment of residents and local amenity. This must stop and should be reflected in planning policies.

I totally agree with Historic England that "local character and history, including the surrounding build environment and landscape setting" and this should be incorporated within a strategic design policy. Volume housebuilders are very bad at this - the developments to the south of Leamington Spa show no reference to local character and history despite being the "gateway" to Leamington when approaching from the M40. The large block of flats on the roundabout near Wanzl dominates this approach and apart from being finished with render bears no relationship to Leamington at all - the scale and detailing is very disappointing.

The policy notes that it is beneficial if people's day to day needs can be met within walking distance. However, there will be many desirable developments that cannot operate as "20-minute neighbourhoods" due to their size, context or other external factors. The policy should be clear that it is referring to new settlements (insert "new") rather than smaller sites or plots.

The design of new buildings in Stratford District over the past forty years has often been mediocre and I have heard planning officers in the past saying that judgements around building design are a personal matter and something that they cannot take into account when considering planning applications. I completely disagree with this view. I would like to see planning officers and developers paying more attention to matters such as the use of local materials, visual balance and proportion. I would hope that the design code can be used effectively and sensitively to ensure better design in the future.
