More spacious semi-detached houses should be built with large gardens.

I agree with the proposition that there needs to be a framework that shapes the mix for each development.

Affordable housing built in Warwick District should be for people in Warwick District. Housing Associations etc should not move people from out the area into the area if people in the district are on the list. After all, all districts are doing this Core Strategy.

Housing Mix
Clearly a mix of housing types is essential if people are to be housed efficiently, effectively and affordably. The Core Strategy preferred option document does not however show that much of a mix will occur because it advocates more of the same as at Warwick Gates and other recent developments.
It is not realistic to expect older people to downsize from their family home by just moving a smaller house. Some may, but most would wish to retain their independence and community links to friends and neighbours. However, if retirement villages for the active elderly with a range of social and leisure facilities, canalside, with restaurant facilities and independent living apartments and appropriate shopping provision either within the village or in the immediate vicinity, then people will choose to spend their autumn years in the company of others as at a permanent leisure centre, when their own family and friends ties are diminishing. The BTPC report identifies 2 potential sites, one at the Wise Street side of the Court Street comprehensive development site in Leamington and the other on K17 at Southcrest Farm in Kenilworth.
It is not for the WDC to dictate housing mixes on particular sites because this is more a function of the marketplace supply and demand. Guidance can be given and results monitored and compared with data being received from bodies with housing interests to ensure that at the end of the exercise the mix is near right as possible but this is a moving target and there will always be imperfections.

Suggests that large housing sites are more able to accommodate housing for older people. In
reality town centre or edge of centre sites are much more suitable for older people's housing, being closer to more facilties. The larger size of buildings which usually accommodate older people's housing are also much easier architecturally to accommodate in town centres rather than in lowdensity low-rise suburban locations.

More people live on their own: singles, divorced, elderly. 1 person = 1 house. How will you accommodate them long term?

The recent global economic downturn willl have an impact on the sale of and type of homes required. How does WDC recognise these changes? How can plans be developed to cope with a range of possible housing demands.

The Consortium does not feel it is appropriate for the LDF to be too prescriptive on the mix of housing on strategic sites as this may inhibit development sites coming forward. A more flexible approach is preferred.

The Consortium supports the principle that a mix of housing types will ensure vibrant, vital, and sustainable communities but feel that housing needs should be considered on a site by site basis, assessed against a range of viability tests and factoring in market conditions at the time of development.
