The SWLP Issues and Options is informed by the Coventry and Warwickshire Housing and Economic Development Needs Assessment (‘the HEDNA’, November 2022). This identifies a need for 868dpa for Stratford District and 811dpa for Warwick District, equating to 1,679dpa for the SWLP area. Over the 28-year plan period to 2050 this is a requirement for 47,012 dwellings. Nevertheless, it is considered that this figure represents the minimum number of homes needed, and that the Councils should consider whether it is appropriate to set a higher housing requirement in line with national policy and guidance (NPPF61 and NPPG010 - Reference ID 2a-010-20201216). Further consideration will also need to be given to unmet needs of neighbouring authorities in line with the Duty to Cooperate and the positively prepared test of soundness (NPPF35a). We consider that there are two likely sources of unmet housing needs which require consideration in the development of the SWLP: Coventry and Warwickshire; and Greater Birmingham and Black Country.

Yes, MSL support the allocation of other sites as necessary for short-term development. These sites should include those proposed to be allocated as reserve sites within the Site Allocations Plan, such as MSL’s site at Hampton Lucy: Policy HAMP.A. The site’s suitability, availability and deliverability has therefore been assessed, and found to be acceptable. The site is to be released for development when required by the District Council. The requirement to allocate sites through the South Warwickshire Local Plan should be the trigger to release the reserve sites within the Site Allocations Plan, and this should be confirmed within the South Warwickshire Local Plan Part 1 Document.
