No detailed rationale for threshold levels of between 100 to 150 dwellings -for the primary service villages and 70 to 90 in the secondary service villages.

They seem to -have been applied arbitrarily across the board without any real consideration for the -villages, their existing form and extent, themselves.

Some of these villages may be able to accommodate, properly and reasonably, a higher -level of growth than envisaged by the thresholds without compromising either the -settlement itself or unreasonably taking land from the Green Belt.

Because of the length of the Plan period these threshold levels could be implemented in phases and -therefore reducing any compromise for the settlement which a single large development -scheme might have.

For instance at Hatton Park it would be possible with our Clients sites to deliver closer to 175 dwellings as well as some supporting community facilities allowing the village to -properly be re-classified as a primary service village bearing in mind the nearby Warwick -Parkway railway station, the surrounding motorway links and the existing community -facilities.

Appropriate development could take place -in other settlements, without compromise. In particular there appears to have been no -overall allocation to meet small schemes in the "other villages and settlements" as listed -in table 3.

Consider that these villages in total may have accommodated -additional growth to help sustain them of a total of 100 to 150 dwellings over the Plan -period.
