IM Land, in respect of the Land off Rumbush Lane, is supportive of Strategic Objectives 1 and 2 and its focus to locate growth in the ‘most sustainable locations’ and the intention for the SWLP to meet current and future housing needs. Strategic Objective 3 (providing infrastructure in the right place at the right time) should be clearer about the realities regarding timescales for infrastructure delivery. IM Land is concerned with the use of the word “attractive” in respect of Strategic Objective 7 (Creating attractive places),

IM Land agrees with Draft Policy Direction 31. The land off Rumbush Lane is in a sustainable location approximately 8km to the southwest of Solihull Town Centre, approximately 10.9km to the northeast of Redditch and approximately 30km to the northwest of Stratford-Upon-Avon.

Whether the Council prepares a Part 1 plan only, or a single comprehensive plan, the focus should be on adopting a plan as soon as possible to support housing delivery and meeting both districts’ local housing needs and those of the wider Housing Market Area. The IDP should be developed further as soon as possible. It is not clear why the Land off Rumbush Lane has not been considered as a reasonable alternative by the SA.

The University is supportive of the principles of this draft policy direction and the desire to increase green and blue infrastructure across the SW area. The adopted SPD outlines the University’s aspirations to increase green spaces on the campus, and the Ecopark is indicative of the University’s future plans for increasing and enhancing green and blue infrastructure. The University would be pleased to comment further on how the greening factor is proposed to be calculated for non residential development once this has been determined.

The University supports the concept of Environmental Net Gain. However, consider that as currently drafted, the draft policy direction does not include enough detail on which to provide significant comments at this stage. The draft policy direction states that the Council’s aim to have a policy that requires development to contribute positively to the natural environment by providing measurable net improvements in biodiversity and ecosystem services. The University would request that clarification be provided on how such requirements will be measured and controlled and what evidence is going to be used to support this policy.

Further emphasis should be made within the policy to maximise the benefit of strategic infrastructure investment to help support any opportunities for ‘last mile’ freight journeys. The University recommends that greater emphasis be placed within the policy to encourage integration of new development with placemaking and delivery of new and improved local transport networks to prioritise sustainable modes of travel. Reference to 20-minute neighbourhood principles should also be considered here. All new developments should be required to produce a Delivery and Servicing Plan to support applications. The use of delivery and servicing consolidation hubs should form part of this policy

The University of Warwick supports the principle of this policy direction, but recommends further consideration be given to certain elements. Greater reference should be given to emerging technologies. Greater emphasis on connectivity should be considered at strategic and local level.
