Q-S5.2: Do you think new settlements should be part of the overall strategy?
I feel that it is wholly unacceptable to consider the development of a new settlement within greenbelt land. There are not exceptional circumstances to doing so. It is unacceptable that despite the NPPF principles, multiple new settlement locations are illustratively suggested in the current consultation document. If a new settlement is to be considered, this should only be in non-greenbelt land. There are ample non-greenbelt options for new settlements. A new settlement in non-greenbelt land should be prioritised over any other development options in greenbelt land. New infrastructure can be developed to support such a non- greenbelt site.

2.5 Response: With regards to the settlement analysis for Stratford-upon-Avon this gives the site an accessibility of ‘C’ i.e., ‘barriers may be overcome, but not easily’, which is defined as connects to: - one brown or red route - potential for connecting existing cul-de-sacs or loops into new red route - active links (e.g., via green / blue infrastructure or other active links) are possible but not easy It is noted therefore that although the are some accessibility sustainability restrictions on the site they could be overcome. 2.6 It is agreed that the Strategy should provide a wide range of employment opportunities in accessible locations. Moreover, the Strategy needs to respond to the needs of businesses. The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) at paragraph 8 states that the economic objective for achieving sustainable development requires the planning system to ensure that ‘sufficient land of the right types is available in the right places and at the right time to support growth, innovation and improved productivity’. 2.7 The Local Plan should indeed support the growth of new industries/sectors as part of a portfolio approach to supporting economic growth within the Districts. In so far as there is some level of balance between employment land requirements and housing provision, the public interest is better served by an over-provision of employment land than an under-provision because local development plans are insufficiently agile to release further land in order to accommodate employment needs. As such, the Local Plan should include a policy that allows for additional land to be released for employment purposes in circumstances where it can be demonstrated that existing employment sites are either not suitable or not available to meet employment requirements. A criteria based policy would be appropriate to establish the need and suitability of additional land to meet employment needs. 2.8 Sustainable locations should be considered, for example adjacent to existing employment locations and adjacent to main towns including Stratford-upon-Avon Council. In so far as the majority of employment opportunities are located within and adjoining the main towns of both Districts, these settlements should be the focus for new employment locations.

Transport infrastructure is not given sufficient attention in the consultation document. There should be a much more detailed analysis of the quality and usage the road system and rail and bus services in the subregion.

I feel that the prioritisation of rail corridors may offer a sensible option for development. There is substantial scope to include development alongside rail corridors outside of the greenbelt. I feel development alongside rail corridors to the South of the region, explicitly avoiding greenbelt development should be supported. The plan suggests an indicative 6000 new homes would be sufficient to support a new rail station, and there are ample geographical options to achieve this outside of the greenbelt. This would reduce the likelihood of overcrowding existing stations in the area. For development in North Leamington it is not appropriate to use Leamington Spa station as there is already heavy traffic congestion in people moving from the North to the South of the town.
