The analysis of our area demonstrates that the village populations are ageing. The National Policy of supporting rural areas is critical if they are not to become dormitories. Sufficient housing must be located in the villages to maintain their viability and sustainable development

-Policies for allocated sites need to make reference to important historic environment considerations in order to guide how development should be delivered.
-The NPPF requires Local Plans, to set out a positive strategy for the conservation and enjoyment of the historic environment. This means ensuring that the proposed sites put forward for development, will assist in delivering such a strategy and not contradict it.
-The selection of sites for development needs to be informed by the evidence base and the Plan should avoid allocating those sites which are likely to result in harm to the significance of the heritage asset.

We raise OBJECTION to the 'Warwick Local Plan Village Housing Options and Settlement Boundaries' DPD on the grounds that it is not 'sound' and it fails to meet the requirements of the National Planning Policy Framework (Framework) or fully meet the legal Duty to Cooperate.
It is apparent that the approach taken to housing land allocations preferred options within the document is not wholly consistent with the Framework which, amongst other matters, seeks to: provide certainty by planning for the long term; locate development in the most sustainable locations; protect the future viability of settlements; ensure a variety of housing is provided to meet identified needs; ensure a 5 year housing land supply is maintained; alter Green Belt boundaries in exceptional circumstances (such as required to meet housing need) to ensure they are capable of enduring beyond the Plan period; and ensure the legal Duty to Cooperate has been satisfied. the DPD is not sound because it fails to - provide certainty over the long term; identify sufficient land within or adjacent to the Villages to meet the housing requirement over the plan period;include sufficient deliverable sites to respond to a 20% buffer in the 5 year housing land supply; fails to fully consider the implications on Warwick District of the potential housing land shortfall in the Housing Market Area as required under the Duty to Cooperate; offer developers sufficient deliverable housing land choices to ensure a rolling 5 year housing land supply is maintained; alter Green Belt boundaries to meet the identified growth requirement in line with the findings of the Settlement Hierarchy and the Local Plan Revised Development Strategy proposed policies; ensure that Green Belt boundaries are capable of enduring beyond the plan period through the identification of 'areas of development restraint' or 'safeguarded land' including in/adjacent to the most sustainable Villages; identify a quantum of housing land allocations appropriate to the scale and sustainability of settlements as evidenced by the Council's own research; provide sound, accurate evidence to justify discounting the site for housing development; and remove part of our client's sustainable and deliverable land from the Green Belt, include it within the Settlement Boundary and allocate it for residential.

The way the plan has been formulated does not adequately reflect key considerations in the NPPF - particularly paragraph 28 of the NPPF.

-Green Belt land should only be altered in exceptional circumstances and the change must be sustainable. The proposed scale of development for Hampton Magna fails to adequately take account of this.
