Site A2 also has ancient woodlands and many footpaths which, as a member of the Ramblers, I enjoy, along with many others. So, I do not consider this a suitable site.

With regards to the Sustainability Appraisal:

Objective 1: mitigation possible through use of low carbon technologies, tree planting, landscaping, integrated solar panels, EV charging points and avoidance of gas boilers. Potential for solar farm development.
Objective 2: low risk of flooding from rivers, seas, and surface water flooding.
Objective 3: careful layout and design can avoid impact on nearby SSSIs. Review of biodiversity, geodiversity, flora and fauna will be commissioned.
Objective 4: A2 is wholly within the Arden SLA but broad areas and impacts can be mitigated through landscape-led design practices.
Objective 5: New settlement is separated from Grade I Church of St Mary Madalene by intervening development in Tanworth-in-Arden and development is unlikely to significantly impact the setting. Careful buffering around Beaumont Hill Farmhouse can also avoid adverse impact to the setting of this LB.
Objective 7: Sites 510 and 409 are Grade 3 and thus not of highest agricultural quality.
Objective 10: A2 is one of two settlements within sustainable distance to an existing GP surgery. It is also within sustainable distance of existing public greenspaces.
Objective 11: A2 is one of five settlements within a sustainable distance of 2km to a railway station
Objective 12: A2 is one of three settlements partially within sustainable distance to an existing primary school. Site 510 has direct access to Tanworth-in-Arden via Bates Lane, only 600m from Tanworth-in-Arden Primary.
Objective 13: There is little separating A1, A2, C1 and F3 which are all identified to have a minor negative impact on access to employment. A2 does not have existing employment but is close to major employment areas of the Birmingham/Solihull conurbation and Redditch, about 5km and 3km away respectively. The site has good accessibility to the strategic highway network of the M42 (Junction 3) and A435.

Ymatebydd: The Umberslade Estate

Asiant : Hancock Town Planning

Potential New Settlement A2 'land east of Wood End': Support.
Hancock Town Planning Ltd acts for the Umberslade Estate which owns the land edged red on the enclosed plan.
The unhatched land is shown as forming a significant proportion of the indicative potential new settlement A2 'land east of Wood End', as currently identified within the SWLP Preferred Options consultation.

The hatched area shown within the plan is land also owned by Umberslade Estate but is sited immediately adjoining the indicative area for the new settlement. If the new settlement were to go ahead, then the hatched area would no longer form part of a wider agricultural holding and would in effect be parcel of 'left over' land owned by the Estate which would be unlikely to form a viable agricultural holding. The inclusion of the land within the area of the new settlement would therefore be sensible.

The Estate land has not previously been submitted via the Call for Sites (CFS) process. Therefore, the Estate confirms that it is submitting the land edged red via the CFS request which is running alongside the current SWLP consultation. The submission refers to the land as 'Land at Umberslade, Broad Lane, Tanworth-in- Arden'.

The Estate wishes to express its support for the potential new settlement A2 and confirms that its land as shown within the enclosed plan may be available for development should the planning authority wish to identify the land for development within further versions of the SWLP.

The Estate highlights that:

its land remains free of land ownership or delivery constraints.

Wood End benefits from a train station which provides a commuter service between Stratford-upon-Avon and Birmingham and beyond. The location therefore offers sustainable transport options. As well as any new community facilities which might be provided as part of the proposed new settlement, the Tanworth-in-Arden Medical Practice is already sited within Wood End and the easily accessible The Warwickshire Lad village already serves as a pub, restaurant, café and community hub.

The new settlement would also be very well related to facilities within the village of Tanworth-in-Arden, such as a public house, dentist and church.

As far as we are aware, the Estate land is free of significant environmental constraints.

The land very predominantly lies within Flood Zone 1.

Ymatebydd: Birmingham International Airport Ltd

It has been noted the SWLP’s potential new settlement A2 – Land east of Wood End may be within this 15km radius of the airport. Therefore, when considering these, the Councils need to review the Airport’s Tall Building Policy and to determine how this may impact any proposed development within these areas. It is also requested that reference is made to aerodrome safeguarding and statutory consultation with the Airport within corresponding policy requirements and pre-application advice guidance, should this strategic location be carried forward within the Regulation 19 version of the SWLP.

Ymatebydd: Bromsgrove District Council

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 Bromsgrove District Council (BDC) boundary.

BDC is reviewing its Local Plan. Growth Options are not confirmed. The potential of Bromsgrove's infrastructure to accommodate Bromsgrove's growth and potential impacts from residents of A1, A2, and SG22 has not yet been established. BDC 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 BDC would need clarification on how they would meet SWLP need given their distance from the main SWLP settlements.

BDC 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, BDC would require clarification on infrastructure delivery to ensure no adverse impacts on Bromsgrove District should they come forward without full infrastructure in place due to development phasing.

Ymatebydd: Redditch Borough Council

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.

Several GII LBs within the site & setting of Tanworth CA likely impacted. Umberslade Hall (GII*) likely impacted too.

No SMs & no comments re: archaeology.

(HSSA – E & S direction of growth notes - Extensive views in & out of Tanworth-in-Arden Conservation Area which would be impacted by development. Careful masterplanning & appropriate mitigation required.)

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.
