A1 and A2 are identified in the SWLP Preferred Options as among the 'least preferred' of the potential new settlements based on the evidence base. These comments are provided given the proximity of A1, A2, and SG22 to the Redditch Borough Council (RBC) boundary.
RBC is reviewing its Local Plan. Growth Options are not confirmed. The potential of Redditch's infrastructure to accommodate Redditch's growth and potential impacts from residents of A1, A2, and SG22 has not yet been established. RBC acknowledges the methodology of locating A1 and A2 close to the A435 due to proximity to strategic road and rail links. The New Settlement Background paper identifies potential settlements with good access to both the road network and the main settlements in South Warwickshire. If A1 and A2 come forward RBC would need clarification on how they would meet SWLP need given their distance from the main SWLP settlements. The A435 severs potential for active travel links between A1 and A2 for short 'day to day' journeys. Even with local centres it is likely these settlements would generate significant numbers of short car journeys to Redditch.
RBC will work with the SWLP authorities if these proposals are advanced. Evidence would need to be provided that non-Green Belt sites are unsuitable before these sites come forward. As the evidence base identifies delivery challenges, RBC would require clarification on infrastructure delivery to ensure no adverse impacts on Redditch District should they come forward without full infrastructure in place due to development phasing. RBC would welcome further engagement on SG22 to confirm the details of this proposal given its proximity to Redditch.

CONCERNS: potential harm to the setting of the Tanworth-in-Arden Conservation Area (CA) & Listed Buildings (LBs) (including GI Church of St. Mary Magdalene). Would result in a major change to the setting of Tanworth-in-Arden.
No Scheduled Monuments (SMs) affected, but if progressed there is a well preserved medieval moated site at Orchard Hill, Forde Hall Lane that will need to be considered regionally important. Recommend: Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) prior to allocation.

Analysis this far suggests that New Settlement Options at South of Tamworth in Arden and East of Wood End that are in close proximity to the conurbation are less suitable, albeit potentially linked to the rail network. It is assumed that these will be considered further before a further iteration of the plan is published.

capacity 9720 homes: areas of green belt and significant harm to character of landscape. Important to keep a green separation distance from Solihull and avoid urbanisation sprawl. One of the worst options for employment.

Site A1 and A2 could develop links to Danzey station, again offering non-car access to the same destinations. Similarly, site C1 could use Lapworth station, site B1 could use Hatton station.

Asiant : Morgan Elliot Planning
The Tamworth in Arden (TiA) new settlement is within an optimum location for future growth and can be delivered in conjunction with the development strategy of the Plan. The details of the TiA new settlement are exciting and will have the ability to provide an exemplar in new settlement growth within the region.
The allocation of this site is consistent with national planning policy and local development objectives. We therefore endorse the South Warwickshire Local Plans development strategy as proposed in the Preferred Options and look forward to working more closely with the Council in the delivery of the TiA new settlement.
