The Vision should recognise that there are unmet development needs outside of South Warwickshire that may need to be met within South Warwickshire. A Strategic Objective should also be to meet any unmet housing needs from communities elsewhere that cannot meet their needs, where it is practical and consistent with achieving sustainable development. This would align the strategic objective with the ‘positively prepared’ test of soundness.

The South Warwickshire Councils must continually review the Local Housing Need up to adoption, they must consider an increased higher housing need, implement a 5% lapse rate to account for unimplemented commitments, and reassess the existing commitments and windfall allowance as outlined.

Bloor Homes respectfully request that Land at Harbury Station (Site 377) be included in the SWLP as an allocated site, for the following reasons:
-Alignment with Priority Areas and Spatial Strategy
-Alignment with the Overarching Principles
-It is the Right Choice for Development near to Harbury.

Alternatively, should Site 377 not be considered appropriate in its entirety for inclusion within the Plan, Bloor Homes would respectfully request that the land east of Harbury for circa 150 dwellings be allocated as part of Site 377.

Bloor Homes appreciates the importance of small sites towards ensuring a 5-year land supply. It is recognised that strategic growth allocations alone will not be sufficient to meet this target, and that other methods should be used along with the strategic allocations in order to identify the appropriate sites to do this.

It is imperative that the SWLP adequately considers accommodating unmet housing needs arising from outside of South Warwickshire. There are significant unmet needs arising from the GBBCHMA which require attention, and potential unmet needs arising from Coventry which should be taken account of accordingly. There is also potential for unmet needs arising from Cotswold District, Redditch Borough and Solihull Metropolitan Borough which should be considered. Failure to do so would render the SWLP not positively prepared nor effective and thus unsound in line with Paragraph 36 a) and c) of the NPPF.

Development proposals should endeavour to deliver the infrastructure set out in the transport strategies outlined, but the SWC’s must acknowledge the ability and need for strategic scale sites to deliver infrastructure that is considered important to a local community but not formally identified within an IDP or other transport strategy. Regarding infrastructure requirements for strategic allocations, the SWCs should collaborate with those bringing the site’s forward to understand site-specific requirements. Allocations with overly onerous infrastructure requirements may delay the delivery of sites due to viability or feasibility concerns. Requirements for infrastructure should not undermine the deliverability of the plan.

The principle of Draft Policy Direction 8 is acceptable. The SWLP should ensure that policies regarding density align with Paragraphs 129 and 130 of the Framework, particularly local market conditions and viability (Paragraph 129b). Any density policy within the SWLP should acknowledge the impact that evidence-based housing needs.

The South Warwickshire Councils are justified in their approach to housing mix and tenure as it reflects the ambitions of Paragraph 63 of the NPPF, and the NPPF as a whole. The Councils should ensure they provide flexibility within their housing mix and tenure policies to account for circumstances where delivering a housing mix in-line with the identified mix is not feasible or logical.

The NPPF at Footnote 51 is clear that optional technical standards and the Nationally Described Space Standard should only be enforced through planning policy where this would address an identified need and where it can be justified. Policies will need to be tested for their impact on viability.
