Do you agree with the approach laid out in Draft Policy Direction 1 - Meeting South Warwickshire's Sustainable Development Requirements?
ID sylw: 96385

Ymatebydd: Elias Topping
Whilst we broadly support the strategy of directing development to sustainable locations we believe that the councils' HEDNA should accommodate the changes made to the Standard Method in December 2024. Greater clarity is needed on how the joint councils' will meet what is likely to be a significant shortfall in housing provision to ensure when potential sites come forward consent can be granted inline with the Government's aspiration to create 1.5 million new homes in the course of the next 5 years.

We believe that the HELAA should be revised to include an assessment in respect of potential Grey Belt allocations in light of the updated Planning Policy Guidance issued on 27 February. The current HELAA only assesses on the basis of Green Belt designations and does not therefore fully reflect the potential availability of land for housing.

Do you agree with the approach laid out in Draft Policy Direction 2 - Potential New Settlements?
ID sylw: 96389
Derbyniwyd: 05/03/2025
Ymatebydd: Elias Topping
Given the time it is likely to take for large-scale new settlements to come forward, as acknowledged in the draft text, and in light of the joint councils' expected shortfall of housing supply under the 2024 Standard Method, stronger support is needed for the development of small and medium sites which can be developed in a shorter timescale.

Do you agree with the approach laid out in Draft Policy Direction 3- Small Scale Development, Settlement Boundaries and Infill Development?
ID sylw: 96395
Derbyniwyd: 05/03/2025
Ymatebydd: Elias Topping
The draft policy directive and the supporting HELAA need to be revised in light of recently issued Planning Practice Guidance in respect of Grey Belt land. In particular the support for small-scale development in Green Belt locations needs to be updated to reflect Government policy does not restrict this to limited infilling within Built Up Area boundaries. The draft text is contrary to guidance in the NPPF and PPG and should not be included in the policy.

Do you agree with the approach laid out in Draft Policy Direction 7- Green Belt?
ID sylw: 96396
Derbyniwyd: 05/03/2025
Ymatebydd: Elias Topping
The draft policy needs to be updated to ensure compliance with the new Planning Policy Guidance in respect of Grey Belt land issued on 27 February 2025; reference should be made to the release of potential Grey Belt sites in the sequential approach listed in the draft policy. In particular it should be noted that the guidance in respect of the Green Belt preventing neighbouring towns merging into one another relates specifically to towns, not villages or other small settlements.

We believe that the HELAA should be revised to include an assessment in respect of potential Grey Belt allocations in light of the updated Planning Policy Guidance issued on 27 February.
