Q.H.3 Please select all options which are appropriate for South Warwickshire Option H3b: Apply Nationally Described Space Standards to developments across South Warwickshire based on locally derived evidence. The emerging plan correctly recognises that Nationally Described Space Standards should not automatically be included within emerging plans. Footnote 49 of the NPPF advises that Nationally Described Space Standards can only be applied through policies where the need can be “justified”. The PPG provides guidance on the evidence that is required to “justify” space standards. The Draft Plan advises that at this point in the plan process the Councils have not gathered evidence on the need for and benefit of, including Locally Described Space Standards. There is, therefore, currently no evidence to support the inclusion of such a policy.

Issue C4 – New Buildings Q-C4.1 – Please select the building regulations requirement option that is appropriate for South Warwickshire Option C4.1a: Do not have a policy and allow new development to comply with the national building regulation requirements, which may change over time. The SWLP is being prepared to cover the period up to 2050. During the course of the plan period building regulations will change. It is appreciated that it is highly likely that there will be at least one Local Plan review within the next 5 to 10 years, however, by the time a replacement Local Plan is in place updated building regulations could have been implemented and could result in an out of date policy in the SWLP.

It is not necessary for a SWLP to include a policy requiring new developments to incorporate measures to increase biodiversity. In November of this year it will be a statutory requirement for all development proposals to demonstrate 10% biodiversity net gain. As this is set out in the Act it does not need to be repeated in policy.
Yes, the range of topics identified is appropriate for a strategic design policy. South Warwickshire has a large plan area, comprising large towns, a variety of villages of different size, hamlets and significant areas of countryside. It is, therefore, imperative that a design policy is flexible to recognise the different environments across the plan area, delivering high quality schemes.
Q-D2 – Please select a design code option which is appropriate for South Warwickshire Option D2d: None of these A single design code for the whole of South Warwickshire would be problematic as it would be difficult to tailor requirements to individual settlements or places. Q-D3 – Please select a density policy option which is appropriate for South Warwickshire Option D3a: Include a policy which underlines the relevance and importance of density, but which does not identify an appropriate minimum density or range of densities across South Warwickshire. The density achieved should be a product of good design. The SWLP should include a policy that seeks to make the best use of the land and facilitates schemes delivering at an efficient density, but does not set a specific target. What constitutes an appropriate density is likely to vary significantly across the geography of the plan area.
