Royal Leamington Spa Neighbourhood Development Plan

Representation ID: 71680

Received: 17/02/2020

Respondent: Taylor Wimpey

Agent: Turley

Representation Summary:

Taylor Wimpey is concerned that the drafting of Policy RLS4 is both unclear and ambiguous, as well as the policy itself reading as a collection of different, unrelated elements. In addition, draft Policy RLS4 includes references to proposals needing to ‘maintain views of higher slopes, skylines and the wider landscape’. There is no document contained within the evidence base for the RLSNP which assesses the landscape surrounding the Town, or indeed providing any identification of what is meant by ‘Higher slopes, skylines and the wider landscape’.
In accordance with the PPG, Taylor Wimpey consider that the policy should be re-drafted with sufficient clarity that a decision maker can apply it consistently and with confidence when determining planning applications, and supported by proportionate evidence.
