PO1: Preferred Level of Growth
Representation ID: 49181
Received: 26/07/2012
Respondent: The Sundial Group and Gleeson Developments
Number of people: 2
Agent: Savills (L&P) Ltd
NPPF requires LPAs to boost significantly the supply of housing.The 10,800 dwellings figure set out at PO1 does not meet the need for housing. The SHMA suggests 14,300 are required between 2011 and 2031. It also does provide for affordable housing.
To make the Local Plan sound it must be in conformity with the NPPF. PO1 does not meet the full, objectively assessed needs for market or affordable housing in the District and is therefore, unsound.
The Plan period should be 20 years "to take account of longer term requirements" (NPPF)

Gleeson and Sundial support the Council's Preferred Option as set out in draft Policy PO3 which includes the distribution of housing growth across the District, including concentrating growth within, and on the edge of, the existing urban areas.
The approach is sound and entirely in conformity with the NPPF in setting out a sustainable approach to development.

TABLE 7.2 Distribution of Housing
Representation ID: 49183
Received: 26/07/2012
Respondent: The Sundial Group and Gleeson Developments
Number of people: 2
Agent: Savills (L&P) Ltd
The distribution of housing set out at table 7.2 does not accord with the objectively assessed need. The Plan does not set out a spatial strategy which accords with the locational demand for housing in the district. This is proportionally disadvantages Kenilworth.
The approach results in only 42 dwellings per year at Kenilworth, significantly under the identified need of 111. This is unsound.

Thickthorn
Representation ID: 49184
Received: 26/07/2012
Respondent: The Sundial Group and Gleeson Developments
Number of people: 2
Agent: Savills (L&P) Ltd
For the reasons set out under our objection to Table 7.2 (above) we object to the number of 770 dwellings to Kenilworth. For this reason alone, the site area should be increased to include land at Southcrest Farm and Woodside Training Centre.
Thickthorn is constrained by noise from the A46, ancient woodland, playing fields, proximity to existing housing and local wildlife sites. If in frastructure requirements (primary school, employment etc) are added in along with densities proposed in Garden Towns, Thickthorn will be unable to accommodate 770 dwellings.
Thickthorn will result in loss of playing fields which canot be justified by evidence. The playing feilds should be retained and should not be moved as they are conveneiently located and provide a facility to support growth to the east of Kenilworth.
the sustainability approasal has not bee accurately undertaken and should refelect that Southcreast Farm has fewer constraints than Thickthorn.
Multiple onwerships at Thickthorn causes uncertainty as to the deliverability of te site.

A. General Market Housing

the wording is too rigid in that it requires house sizes and type meet the need identified in the SHMA. The wording should be amended to be in "general conformity with" the SHMA.

C. Homes for Older People
Representation ID: 49186
Received: 26/07/2012
Respondent: The Sundial Group and Gleeson Developments
Number of people: 2
Agent: Savills (L&P) Ltd
The need to provide more housing for the growing elderly population in the District is acknowledged. However, the policy is too prescriptive in requiring Extra Care Housing only. There are other ways to provide homes to meet the needs of the elderly population and this should be allowed for in the policy.

Agent: Savills (L&P) Ltd
Support the principle of allocating part of the land at Kenilworth for employment uses. The land closest to the A46 junction is the most suitable location for such development, to benefit from the locational advantage and reduce traffic flows through the town.
However, further B1 Employment Land could be provided at Woodside Training Centre
