No, the extent of the Stoneleigh Park Major Investment Site (MIS 6) should be extended to include the Kingswood Business Park adjacent to the A46 as detailed in our Call for Sites submission. It should reflect the extent of Strategic Growth Location SG02 – Stoneleigh Park Employment Group.

Do you agree with the approach laid out in Draft Policy Direction-19- Supporting a Range of Business Units and Affordable Employment Space?

Ymatebydd: MPTL
Asiant : Harris Lamb
Yes, there is demand for business units of a variety of sizes across the plan area. It should be noted that Stoneleigh Park is capable of providing a variety of different building types and sizes. Indeed, Stoneleigh Park includes a number of existing buildings that could be re-purposed or reused to help support economic growth. These can be supported by large scale employment development on the Kingswood Business Park next to the A46 junction.

Do you agree with the approach laid out in Draft Policy D: Large Scale Renewable Energy Generation and Storage?

No, one of the key issues underpinning renewable energy generation is the availability of a grid connection. The fact that the site is previously developed, or low quality agricultural land, will have no impact on the delivery of the scheme if there is not a viable grid connection available. The policy should recognise this.
The policy should specifically support renewable energy generation schemes provided alongside new development. For example, Call for Sites submission in respect of SG02 – Stoneleigh Park Employment Group includes a large area of renewable energy generation that can help offset the energy requirements of the development.

Do you agree with the approach laid out in Draft Policy-E- Protecting Large Scale Existing Renewable Energy Infrastructure?

Asiant : Harris Lamb
We support the reference in the policy to the Councils encouraging the use and development of decentralised energy systems with large scale development. However, this should also be a key matter in the selection of development allocations. Priority should be given to those sites that can incorporate large scale renewable energy provision in determining which employment sites should be included within the Plan.
As referred to in our Call for Sites submission in relation to SG02 – Stoneleigh Park Employment Group, the Stoneleigh Park and Kingswood Business Park proposal incorporates a large area dedicated to renewable energy generation.

Ymatebydd: MPTL
Asiant : Harris Lamb
Whilst we have no specific objection to the preparation of Design Codes they must be prepared in conjunction with site promoters. This is essential for the Design Code to be effective. In addition, the Design Codes must be flexible given the length of plan period. The Design Codes should not act as an obstacle to sustainable and suitable development on allocated sites

The policy makes a reference to the potential requirement for in excess of 10% BNG. This has the potential undermine the viability of sites. BNG is a significant development cost both financial and in terms of land take. It is essential that any policy of this nature are viability tested
