The assumption that South Warwickshire must continue absorbing Coventry’s housing overspill is no longer justified. The 2024 revisions to the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) significantly lower housing targets for Coventry and Birmingham, while substantially increasing South Warwickshire’s targets. The duty to cooperate should not create an ongoing automatic expectation that rural districts must absorb urban expansion. South Warwickshire’s assessed housing need has increased, and much new housing has already been built or approved. It should not be further burdened with an outdated overspill requirement.
