Q-D2: Please select all options which are appropriate for South Warwickshire Option D2b: Develop design guides and/or design codes for specific places (e.g. existing settlements or groups of settlements, or an ‘area’ in the case of a new settlement) where the spatial strategy identifies significant change. We would support this approach although, at present, there is a tendency for planners applying design guidance too rigidly to developments and there is a lack of consideration as to whether (regardless of any deviation from the guidance) the development looks appropriate and/or adds value to its surrounding and functional for its needs. Any Design Guide/Code should not be overtly prescriptive or rigidly applied but, provide guidance and/or performance criteria – there is a real danger that this could prevent innovative and creative designs that are different but still appropriate and create interest. Designs should be considered on their merits in meeting performance. Option D2c: Develop design guides/codes for strategic development sites/locations. We would support this approach. Q-D3: Please select all options which are appropriate for South Warwickshire We consider a flexible approach that considers the site context, local character and the efficient use of land, and ultimately the creation of high quality development, would be more appropriate. Q-D4.1: Do you agree that this is an appropriate range of topics for a policy on the design of safe and attractive streets? Yes. Although we remain unconvinced by the 20-minute neighbourhood concept. Q-D6: Please add any comments you wish to make about a well-designed and beautiful South Warwickshire Please refer to earlier comments regarding unnecessary and too rigid application of design guidance.

Q-W2: Please select the option which is most appropriate for South Warwickshire It is important that further unnecessary costs and burdens are placed on developers so such an approach should be carefully focused. The policy clearly defines what is required of the HIA and not go beyond/stray into matters of other consenting regimes or unnecessary duplication with other policies. Q-W3: Please select the option which is most appropriate for South Warwickshire Option W3a: Include an overall policy on health. This would be a sensible approach. The policy should be clear on the scope and avoid unnecessary duplication with other policies and consider viability and sustainability of any requirements.

Q-T1: Please select all options which are appropriate for South Warwickshire Option T1a: Include no policy on the principles of the 20-minute neighbourhood for new development. We remain to be convinced of the appropriateness of this concept in an area such as South Warwickshire where a significant proportion of the population lives beyond the main urban areas and, if applied rigidly could actually harm issues being actively addressed in rural areas. Q-T2: Please select the option which is most appropriate for South Warwickshire These questions and the explanation lack clarity and imply that transport planners have a degree of control over personal choice which seems both unrealistic and unjustified. For example, a policy reducing parking in the urban centres is likely to add to the costs of the remaining parking, and thereby the attractiveness of the facilities. This does not stop local residents continuing to use those facilities but, counter-intuitively makes them less attractive for those residing in the rural areas. Q-T5: Please add any comments you wish to make about a well-connected South Warwickshire Policies that simply encapsulate LTP priorities and proposals should be avoided because LTPs are not subject to the same levels of consultation and examination as local plans. The transport policies in the local plan should be open to testing alongside all of the other policies.
