The prospect of the SWLP requiring a whole suite of different design codes signals a ‘nightmare scenario’ whereby the Local Plan and associated design codes take decades to produce and development proposals are never implemented through the intended plan-led process. The Councils need to look very carefully at the web of bureaucracy they have created in producing this Plan. The South Warwickshire Local Plan itself will take 8 years to adopt, Design Codes and Supplementary guidance may take a further 2-3 years. Planning applications are currently taking many years to approve. Two recent self-build applications took 4 years to achieve outline consents. No wonder Government and business alike are complaining that planning needs to be reformed.
