National Highways acknowledges that an evidence-led approach has been adopted 
for identifying housing and employment growth across South Warwickshire, in line with 
both the Housing and Employment Development Needs Assessment (HEDNA) and 
the 2024 NPPF Standard Method. Based on the HEDNA (and taking account of 
existing commitments and an assumed windfall allowance) a “to find” figure of 15,532 
dwellings is identified, whilst a “to find” figure of 28,257 dwellings is identified based 
on the 2024 Standard Method. A residual need for 75-125 ha of employment land is 
also identified for the period to 2045. 
We note that 24 areas have been identified as locations for potential strategic growth 
and that full use of suitable urban brownfield land will be made before development is 
considered elsewhere which is welcomed.
