The table is premature as work is still continuing on the Strategic Housing Market Assessment which covers not only Warwick District Council, but other neighbouring authorities. Also, the growth should be greater as is evidenced by recent reports/studies. The figures should be in line with at least the ONS 2008 Household Projections. The tables at RDS2 and RDS4 are, therefore, inappropriate and premature.
In addition:
1-Aware of the fact that recent decisions have meant that some of the major sites proposed are not deliverable.
2-HS2 has not been taken into consideration adequately.
3-The number of houses in the Primary and Secondary Service Villages should be increased with less reliance on the Strategic Urban Extensions. These sites produce more desirable locations for housing and will help support sustainable growth and support existing and new community facilities. This is in keeping with other Plan policies, particularly the strategy as defined in 3.3 on page 7 of the RDS.
