Respondent: Warwickshire County Council [Archaeological Information and Advice]

Warwickshire County Council (WCC) considers that the approach that Warwick District Council (WDC) has taken to the delivery of park and ride facilities through the Local Plan Publication Draft consultation document is justifiable.It is noted that the Stage 3 STA raised concerns over the feasibility of a park and ride facility to the south of Warwick and that more testing would be needed. The Stage 4 STA identified that further work had been commissioned to review the case for a park and ride facility. Therefore the approach taken in the Local Plan to identify broad areas of search for a park and ride facility to the south of Gallows Hill / Harbury Lane, which have potential to accommodate a park and ride facility, should one be deemed appropriate, desirable, viable and feasible (as referred to in paragraph 5.59.3 of the Local Plan Publication Draft), but which should not compromise the ability to plan and bring forward development in the preferred development allocation locations to the south of Warwick and Leamington, is considered to be a reasonable approach.
