Asiant : Stansgate Planning

This Planning Statement supports the allocation of ID21 in the South Warwickshire Local Plan of land at Drayton Manor Farm on behalf of the main land owner, Drayton Manor Farms Ltd. According to the Masterplan, the allocation will deliver:
• Residential development located in five zones, amounting to net 13.4 hectares and 400 houses.
• Two hectares of employment land, subsuming 1 hectare of existing employment land (10 existing units measuring 3447m2 floorspace).
• A large amount of public open space, providing connectivity with existing PROWS.
There are no physical constraints to development. The site is not in Green Belt. About half of the land is contaminated, which prevents agriculture but not residential or employment uses. Most of the site is flood zone 1 and those parts in zones 2 and 3 are set aside for public open space and biodiversity enhancement. The site has direct vehicular access to A46 Alcester Road.
The Heritage and Settlement Sensitivity Assessment for Warwick and Stratford-on Avon Local Plan identifies this site is within the “800m buffer of urban extent” of Stratford-upon-Avon.
In terms of deliverability, the promotor/landowner has a strong track record of maximising the employment development potential of Drayton Manor Farm and delivering large-scale renewable energy (solar). It has funding and expertise to deliver mixed use development, integrating it with renewable energy infrastructure (eg solar modules and energy storge units) and the existing adjacent solar farms (one of Warwickshire’s largest) in order to deliver net zero.
A Transport Appraisal supports this proposed allocation of ID21. The proposed development of 400 houses and 2 hectares of employment land1 is ideally located in respect of the existing major, diverse employment opportunities at Drayton Manor Farm (East and West; see the schedule at Appendix 4) and the forthcoming SUA.2. The site is also well connected to the local bus service (to be enhanced at SUA.2) and other facilities and amenities at Drayton Manor Farm and Stratford-upon-Avon, all within a suitable walking and cycling distance from the site.
In conclusion, this is a highly sustainable location for the allocation of ID21 in the South Warwickshire Local Plan for mixed uses – 400 houses and employment use – as part of SG18.

This statement promotes HELAA refs ID 510 and ID 409 as part of proposed new settlement A2.

Combined the sites can provide 1000 houses with additional scope for Gypsy/Traveller pitches. Site 510 has vehicular access from Broad Lane (Wood End) and Bates Lane (Tanworth-in-Arden). It is adjacent to the settlement boundaries of Wood End and Tanworth-in-Arden. It is 1km from Wood End Railway Station, 1.2km from the A445, 3km from M42 junction 3, and 600m from Tanworth-in-Arden Primary School.

No infrastructure work has yet been commissioned but delivery of these sites would likely occur in the first 15 years of the Plan period. On the basis of 1000 houses and a gypsy/traveller site, delivery can start within the first 5 years and be completed within 15 years at a build rate of 100 dpa. The landowners will pursue a comprehensive and collaborative approach to development and infrastructure. The site may include solar farm development to contribute towards net-zero development. Development of A2 would result in wider public access to land and new community and commercial buildings.

SG18 and SG19 would just add to the massive transport problems that Stratford-Upon-Avon faces due to the lack of a southern by-pass. If these proposals went ahead it would put increased pressure on a traffic infrastructure designed in the 1950s when Stratford was a small market town. Since then there has been urban sprawl on the outskirts of the town and all the additional traffic - coming into town or leaving it - is funneled onto a gyratory system that jams and slows down traffic rather than speed it up. This also has a bad effect on air quality.

I'm surprised to see from the HELLA assessment how this site has only been rated Amber for its Transport assessment.

Access to the site would simply not support to proposed amount of houses. Access from the West is through a narrow lane with two tight bends and a single flow bridge at one end. From the south any access would be dangerous due to close proximity to the hump back and railway bridge.

In addition the site is not only in the green belt but a proportion is in a conservation area.

Currently the South Warwickshire Local Plan has to include extra house building to cater for the overspill pressure from Coventry.

A recent BBC Local News story on 4th March titled “Is the UK becoming less attractive for students?” shows that Coventry University has had a dramatic reduction in overseas students which means there is a big reduction in housing requirements.

The numbers are so large that there may not be a requirement in future to export future Coventry housing needs into the South Warwickshire Local Plan.

Our client's site ref 517 has been 'sifted out' at Part A purely on the basis of the site location, with no consideration of the fact that development already exists in this location, and its sustainable repurposing for employment use would support rural employment and businesses.

A minimum requirement for 48ha of (non strategic) industrial land up to 2041 has been identified in Warwick District alone (rising to 78ha by 2050). The plan considers the shortfall in the context of strategic site provision with no recognition of the role that could be played by smaller sites, such as Claybank Farm.

I strongly object to SG04 (South of Kenilworth) being included in the plan. It is Green Belt land, and no exceptional circumstances justify its release. Development would harm the historic setting of Kenilworth Castle, a Grade I listed monument, and erode its cultural significance. SG04 lacks essential infrastructure, with no secondary school, GP surgery, or strong public transport links. Rouncil Lane is unsuitable for increased traffic, creating safety concerns for pedestrians and cyclists. The site fails sustainability criteria, contradicting NPPF priorities. SG04 should be removed from the plan, with non-Green Belt alternatives prioritised for development.

I object to proposed site RefID 233. Further housing development in a village which has already expanded would impose unsustainable pressures on local infrastructure, services, and the environment, compromising the village's rural character and quality of life. Green Belt land is specifically protected to prevent urban sprawl and preserve countryside.

The rural road network is already strained by narrow lanes and heavy parking. It is ill-suited to accommodate increased traffic from new development. Many local roads are used as rat-runs by drivers to avoid congestion on the A46, particularly around Stank’s Island. This can lead to traffic backing up on the A46, worsening the situation. Others drivers shortcut to access Warwick Parkway or the Birmingham Road at the Shell garage. New homes will increase through-traffic, exacerbating congestion and exacerbate safety risks for residents and road users.

Local services - including schools, GP services, and water infrastructure - are already at capacity. Further housing would overwhelm these essential resources. Development on Green Belt threatens biodiversity and preservation of open space. Such developments set a dangerous precedent for further encroachment into protected rural areas, further eroding the countryside’s character. This would pave the way for unchecked urban sprawl in surrounding areas.

The Site aligns with existing development and land use on the edge of Cubbington (unlike Sites 97 and 202), aids in preventing coalescence between Leamington Spa and Cubbington (unlike Sites 97, 191 and 198).

Given the site’s small size and existing uses, development at Site 176 would not meaningfully contribute to settlement coalescence and should therefore be released from the Green Belt.

We submit evidence and technical reports in relation to site ref 697 to summarise the likely impacts of development and mitigation measures such that potential constraints identified in the HELAA with an 'amber' rating can become 'green'.

The site is deliverable and viable, with a single owner with a strong track record of successfully delivering similar schemes.

The attached Heritage Impact Assessment which concludes development would cause less than substantial harm to the significance of nearby Listed Buildings and the Lighthorne Conservation Area. The modest scale and linear layout will reduce potential impacts, mitigated by the public benefits of a self/custom build scheme. We also attach a Landscape appraisal which concludes a small and sympathetically-designed development would have medium-low effect on surrounding landscape. The proposed masterplan responds to the findings and recommendations in a manner that will mitigate the potential concerns identified in the HELAA.

We attach a Preliminary Ecological Assessment. Despite the identification of Pratt's Farm Meadow as a potential Local Wildlife Site by NCAP this site has not moved forward to become an LWS and is unlikely to do so because the habitat assets identified are of limited ecological value. The PEA confirms that if the the scrubland, mature trees and hedgerows are safeguarded, and a portion of grassland retained and enhanced, development will be acceptable. The indicative masterplan incorporates these elements and will deliver +10% BNG on site.

The attached Preliminary Technical Appraisal on Flood Risk and Surface Water Drainage addresses the HELAA 'amber' flood riskrating. The report concludes that a site allocation and future development should not be precluded on flood risk grounds so long as recommendations are followed, including submission of a full formal planning FRA and a formal surface water drainage strategy incorporating SuDS.

We attach a Transport and Highways Technical Note. The site is well-connected in an area without highway safety issues and with existing pedestrian, cycling and bus routes. The site could generate between 5-6 two-way movements during peak hours and would not result in any detrimental effects on traffic congestion or the local highway network.

The site is in a Minerals Safeguarding Area for Building Stone and Unconsolidated Sand and Gravel. These are large district-wide areas and the site is not a designated Mineral Site or Allocation. As the site is partially within a Conservation Area and close to other heritage assets it is not suitable for mineral extraction.
