Questions whether the Warwick District Habitat Assessment is sufficiently recent to
reliably inform the preparation of the Local Plan, particularly given that the analysis for each site recommends that specific additional surveys will be required in the appropriate survey season. The Assessment was also undertaken between August and October, which was not the optimum time of year to
carry out comprehensive ecological assessments. WDC has had almost 6 years to address this deficiency and provide more up-to-date evidence. The assessment does not assess all the preferred allocations included within the Publication Draft. The HRA (March 2014) make reference to 10,800 homes rather than 12,860.
