4 Spatial Portrait, Issues and Objectives
Para 4.7 could also make reference to the canals within Warwick District which are managed by the Trust, comprising nearly 40km of the Grand Union, North Stratford and South Stratford Canals. These inland waterways are of historic interest and importance, passing through a number of conservation areas within the District and representing important features within the landscape. The Trust also considers that they are worthy of inclusion on Map 1 along with the Main Rivers already identified on the map.

Ymatebydd: Canal & River Trust

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

The Trust considers that canal corridors represent an opportunity for environmental improvement and regeneration within urban areas as well as a contributor towards local economies in rural areas. This potential can support the aims of the government as set out in the NPPF to promote economic growth and is worthy of recognition within PO8.

Ymatebydd: Canal & River Trust

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

The Trust considers that Para 11.1 should also refer to the canal network within the District as an important heritage asset, particularly given its multi-functional nature, which enables it to contribute positively towards education, culture, leisure, tourism and the wider economy.

PO11: Historic Environment

Derbyniwyd: 03/08/2012

Ymatebydd: Canal & River Trust

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

We consider that PO11 could reasonably include specific reference to the canal network as part of the final paragraph which encourages appropriate regeneration of the historic environment and an explicit reference to the canal network would help demonstrate the positive strategy for conserving and enjoying the historic environment advocated by the NPPF. The Trust considers that appropriate development can enhance the character of the canals as a historic asset and that this should be acknowledged within the Preferred Option

Ymatebydd: Canal & River Trust

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

The role that waterways can play in carbon reduction and sustainability initiatives should also be recognised and supported, and in particular PO12 could refer to consideration of utilising canal water for heating/cooling of buildings where practicable.

Ymatebydd: Canal & River Trust

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

The Trust considers that it would be appropriate to make specific reference to the value of canals and their towpaths in contributing to achieving more inclusive and healthier communities, and that to do so reflects government advice and guidance within the NPPF which seeks to encourage planning policies which protect and enhance access to open spaces (Para 75).

PO13: Inclusive, Safe & Healthy Communities

ID sylw: 47480

Derbyniwyd: 03/08/2012

Ymatebydd: Canal & River Trust

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

PO13 acknowledges the importance of maximising linkages and access to the wider countryside, a role which canal towpaths can and do fulfil, and which is worthy of specific reference, although it is important to also acknowledge that there is often a need to upgrade towpaths to cope with increased usage generated by development close to, or associated with, the canal network.

Relevant Issue & Strategic Objectives

ID sylw: 47481

Derbyniwyd: 03/08/2012

Ymatebydd: Canal & River Trust

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

Para 14.6 refers to the Council's Vision and Strategy, and the importance of providing a "comprehensive sustainable transport package including... traffic free routes... cycle and footpath networks". Waterways can provide routes for walking and cycling and can link into existing footpath routes to offer alternative means of travel to the private motor car and thus widen travel choices as well as encouraging healthy lifestyles. The towpath network can provide a motor-vehicle-free environment for people to use, thus increasing safety for both pedestrians and cyclists, and helping to meet the aims of the NPPF in facilitating wider options for sustainable transport.

We consider that PO14 should include reference to the canal towpaths within the section on Sustainable Forms for Transport. Waterways can provide routes for walking and cycling and can link into existing footpath routes to offer alternative means of travel to the private motor car and thus widen travel choices as well as encouraging healthy lifestyles. The towpath network can provide a motor-vehicle-free environment for people to use, thus increasing safety for both pedestrians and cyclists.

District Wide Strategic Green Infrastructure

ID sylw: 47528

Derbyniwyd: 03/08/2012

Ymatebydd: Canal & River Trust

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

Inland waterways can contribute towards the provision of significant local and strategic Green Infrastructure, as they provide important wildlife corridors and can support significant biodiversity along their length. The definition of green infrastructure includes "blue infrastructure and blue spaces" such as waterways, towpaths and their environs. We therefore consider that PO15, in addition to identifying river corridors as opportunities for creation or enhancement of green infrastructure, should refer to the canal network and the opportunities it also presents in this regard.
