RPS objects to this policy as it is not positively prepared as it does not meet the housing needs within Growth Villages. Additional local growth is required at Baginton to support the growth status of the village.

RPS has identified a strategic site on the edge of Coventry to meet the needs of Warwick arising from the Gateway Site and that of Coventry City. However, RPS is also promoting a part of the site as a phase 1 development to deliver much needed local housing within the village and
objection is raised to the level of development currently identified to Baginton as a 'Growth Village'.

RPS supports the need for expansion at Baginton, but considers 35 dwellings unrepresentative of the level of housing need in the village.The identified housing need is considered out of date and not robust, the housing requirment is considered closer to that identififed in the Revised Developmnent Strategy of between 70 and 90 dwellings.
