The University of Warwick's expansion plans are not adequately detailed in the Plan to cover the period until 2029. The statement in 3.145 does not given any details of the update due of its future vision which is during their current master plan period (2009 - 2019). The Local Plan just states 'development will be permitted in line with an approved Masterplan or Development Brief as agreed with the relevant planning authorities'.
The expansion plans will affect the local area which already suffers through lack of investment in infrastructure in roads and parking problems. 'Relevant planning authorities' have failed to come up with the answers. e.g. New Road required - no money allocated.
A forward looking overall plan is required from the University and the Planning Authorities which addresses all of the problems before any further planning permissions are granted

Policy MS1 is welcomed in supporting the role that the University plays in the local economy as a long established major site. The recognition of the University's intention to refresh its campus masterplan is also welcomed. The policy is considered to be sound because it is consistent with national policy in supporting sustainable economic development.
