It is not conceivable that the beautiful countryside of South Warwickshire can be enhanced given the size of the housing target that has to be achieved. At best the impact of development can be minimised by focusing it on brownfield sites and sites not in the Green Belt.

The landowner consortium generally supports the chapter and has provided comment to the detailed policy directions. However, any design-based requirements should allow sufficient flexibility, whereby overarching design codes should set a flexible framework for site-specific design policies. A careful approach to densities should be undertaken, whereby flexibility is key to ensuring that each site is assessed on a case-by-case basis.

Yes, I broadly support the proposals in this chapter. The emphasis on high-quality design, sensitivity to local context, and creating sustainable, adaptable, and attractive places aligns with the goal of fostering vibrant communities. However, I would suggest considering the impact of new developments, such as those in SG04, on significant heritage sites like Kenilworth Castle. It’s crucial that development in areas with such historical importance is carefully managed to ensure that both modern needs and cultural heritage are preserved. Additionally, the inclusion of local design codes could further strengthen the alignment between development and the area's character.

Various research on built and natural heritage have shown good design is critical to the acceptance of new development and yields better outcomes for everyone. So to support residents and developers I would suggest you merge most if not all policies in this chapter into ‘one hook’ for future SPD/supplementary plans/design codes. This will ensure the Councils can be future-proofed for the NDMPs that the government will adopt, but also reduces burdens on applicants and allow council officers to protect key characteristics of local areas and not get diverted with checklists. Tackle the unnecessary amount of paperwork and pdfs!

I object to the A Well-Designed and Beautiful South Warwickshire section due to concerns about subjective design criteria, potential conflicts with local character, and inadequate community involvement. The emphasis on beauty is subjective and may not reflect diverse community preferences. Additionally, the plan lacks clear guidelines to ensure new developments harmonize with existing local character and heritage. Insufficient community engagement raises concerns about whether local perspectives on design and aesthetics have been adequately considered. Addressing these issues is crucial to ensure that development aligns with community values and preserves the unique character of South Warwickshire.

Don't allow any low-density development. Townhouses and apartments only. They can all be beautiful and will make the 15-minute city effortlessly achievable.

Respondent: West Midlands Housing Association Planning Consortium

Agent: Tetlow King Planning

The WMHAPC welcomes guidance for new developments with regards to design as it is a useful tool for understanding the expectations of the Council when putting forward planning applications. The WMHAPC asks the Council to be wary of ways in which overly restrictive design codes or demanding policies could impact development viability and therefore restrict the provision of affordable housing in SW.
The WMHAPC would also like to take the opportunity to raise that it is not just appearance but also the maintenance and management of design features and spaces should be considered when designing residential schemes which include an affordable housing element.
Furthermore, the WMHAPC advocates for a well integrated and varied distribution of affordable housing
within housing schemes should allow for social integration within the overall design, although the WMHAPC reminds the Council to consider the practical implications for housing associations when it comes to the management of their housing stock.
.Encouraging pepper potting across a scheme makes
management more difficult as the properties are more spread out. The WMHAPC would not encourage affordable housing to be grouped together in one area, instead recommending that affordable housing is clustered across a site, with policy expressing a maximum group size or range; approximately 10 dwellings forming each cluster on larger sites (circa 100+ dwellings) is often favoured.
