Q-E11: Please add any comments you wish to make about delivering South Warwickshire's economic needs

There are many principles in the section on the environment, and the economy, which the JPC endorses. These are in our responses to specific questions. We have two comments about the way the analysis has been carried out. First there is no evidence that the economic proposals will have any benefit in Henley and Beaudesert. All of the specific economic proposals and the Core Opportunity Area are to the South of Stratford and do not reinforce the choice of Henley as a possible area of expansion. This is also a problem in the section on transport improvements. None of the road proposals have significant local impact on the Henley in Arden area despite road and traffic problems being a major local issue. The growth strategy for housing is not being integrated with other essential attributes of the plan. There is a very real likelihood that additional housing will be built in places with no new businesses and vice versa. Q-E2: This issue should be addressed in Part 2 Q-E3: This issue should be addressed in Part 2 Q-E4.1: This issue should be addressed in Part 2 Q-E7.1: The JPC supports option E7.1a This provides opportunity for housing growth in areas with infrastructure to meet the needs of the increasing workforce without the necessity of using green belt land or viable farm land Q-E8.3: The JPC supports this proposal as essential to protect assets Q-E10: Tourism is a critical industry in the whole of South Warwickshire. Henley is a tourist magnet for several reasons. In order to capitalise on the potential fully there could be significant changes in land use in the town and therefore to defer policy making is not in the interests or needs of the town.

Nothing chosen

Q-E8.2: If, no please list the sites that should be excluded and give reasons.

No answer given

Q-E8.3: Do you agree that proposals seeking the loss of a business, commercial or community building or facility should be subject to marketing, viability and alternative use tests?

Yes

Q-E8.4: Pease specify what you consider to be appropriate tests

The framework which is currently applied by SDC is generally satisfactory but also flexible to respond to the local situation. The JPC is satisfied to continue with this approach.

Q-H1-1: The HEDNA is proposing that we move away from an approach where future household needs are based on the 2014-based household projections towards a trend-based approach. Do you think that the HEDNA evidence provides a reasonable basis for identifying future levels of housing need across South Warwickshire?

Yes

Q-H1-2: If your answer to H1-1 is No, what would be a more appropriate approach to calculating future housing needs for this Local Plan?

The HEDNA is a standard and tried and tested model so the JPC accepts the general approach in the plan. Two points are worth highlighting 1. Since 2014 the total and balance of housing need has changed significantly between Stratford and Warwick Districts and both Councils have exceeded their housing targets in the period. This indicates some caution in future projections and a significant need for flexibility in local targets. 2. There are no major proposals for economic development or transport links centred on Henley/Beaudesert which casts doubt on the ability of the plan to deliver sustainable growth.

Q-H2-1: What is the best way to significantly increase the supply of affordable housing across South Warwickshire?

The problem of providing affordable homes in high land and house price areas has proved intractable nationally so that affordable and social housing numbers have declined sharply. In Henley and the surrounding villages it would have to be by discounted land price (unlikely) or public subsidy. When the SWLP announces proposed targets it must indicate the level of subsidy Homes England will allocate to areas such as the JPC .

Option H2-2a: A single South Warwickshire wide affordable housing requirement

selected

Option H2-2b: Separate affordable housing requirements for Stratford-on-Avon and Warwick Districts

selected

Option H2-2c: A more localised approach with separate affordable housing requirements for different localities across South Warwickshire

selected

Q-H2-3: How should South Warwickshire best address the specialist needs for older people?

The comment in section H2.1 applies equally to the provision for elderly people
