In paragraph 5.2 it is inappropriate to include an objective of providing 550 new homes per annum. This preferred level of growth should be based on an objectively assessed need for housing.
Objects to the assertion in paragraph 5.21 that a level of housing growth at around 700 homes per annum could not be delivered in the plan period because of the time taken for the larger strategic sites to come forward. A plan period up until 2028 is sufficient for sites to come forward in an area such as Warwick District which has a robust housing market and which is likely to show early signs of economic recovery. e Sustainability Appraisal suggests this level of growth is equally sustainable to a level of 600 dwellings per annum. References to a level of growth of 550 homes earlier in the document suggest this may have influenced the evaluation of the appropriate levels of growth for which the District should plan.
