Strategic Growth Location SG01 Question
ID sylw: 98809
Derbyniwyd: 06/03/2025
Ymatebydd: Burton Green Parish Council
Burton Green Parish Council strongly opposes SG01. The assessment clearly shows that this is an unsustainable option.
Specifically:
•SG01 clearly meets the criteria for Green Belt designation
•Insufficient weighting (6%) is given to Green Belt weighting
•SG01 consists largely of ALC2 which should be retained under advice in the NPPF.
•SG01 is not a sustainable location for 4800 new homes e.g. Sustainability report and previous assessments.
•BGPC urges the reinstatement of Safeguarded Land into the Green Belt, backed by a petition with 675 signatures.
•SG01 performs less well on assessment than most other proposed development zones(ref HELAA-B)

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

BGPC broadly supports Option 4 of the South Warwickshire Local Plan. However, BGPC highlights deficiencies in the SWLP’s approach, including inadequate consideration of brownfield sites, infrastructure needs, and the importance of protecting high-quality agricultural land and preventing urban sprawl. The approach gives insufficient attention to protecting the Green Belt.
Option 4 is neither a strategy nor a framework, just a collection of proposals. The focus is on a few large-scale sites to meet housing needs. This preference for large sites has insufficient regard to the identification of smaller sites (including brownfield ones), which could be developed more quickly and sustainably.

By over-focussing on Green Belt, where infrastructure is lacking and expensive to provide, Option 4 does not make sufficient provision for housing growth in and around Royal Leamington Spa, the main town in the district and where a significant proportion of key services and facilities, including employment opportunities, are located. It therefore does not seek to fully optimise the potential to promote sustainable travel patterns through a spatial synergy between access to service and facilities, jobs and housing.
