Q-B8.1: Do you agree that the plan should include a policy avoiding development on the best and most versatile agricultural land, unless it can be demonstrated that the harm to agricultural land is clearly outweighed by the benefit of development?

Yes

Q-B8.2: When considering climate change, biodiversity and economic wellbeing, are there any rural land uses or locations that should be prioritised over others?

Yes. River and canal corridors need prioritisation, together with consideration of river catchment areas as a whole, for example Finham Brook and its tributaries upstream from Kenilworth Castle. The starting point for prioritisation of locations should begin with an analysis of the natural geography, not the development that has already taken place.

Q-S10: Please add any comments you wish to make about the development distribution strategy for South Warwickshire

Sensitive growth of existing settlements will have to be part of any strategy to have large numbers of new properties, as dictated by central government. We agree with the arguments presented in this consultation for “Market Towns of sufficient size to become a complete and compact 20-minute neighbourhood.” This approach is more feasible than focussing on active travel arrangements between rural communities, although that too is desirable.
