At 2.83, it is stated that other known issues will be resolved by way of a Plan Review. If the issue is known about it should be resolved NOW and certainly as part of the current Examination of the Plan, including its soundness.
This particularly applies to the area South of Coventry where, apart from the need for flexibility to meet unmet demand, the allocated sites are not believed to be based on objective analysis. Land at Cryfield/Gibbet Hill is available to meet demand and should not be ignored for a subsequent Review with less public input.

The Green Belt within Baginton prevents inappropriate developments. Removing Green Belt status will allow inappropriate developments to go ahead.
OBJECT to the Rosswood Farm (H19) development being on land where Green Belt status has been removed. This development, if allowed, would become part of Baginton and must be protected from future inappropriate development, as discussed above.
OBJECT to the removal of Green Belt indicated in Map 8 for Sub Regional Employment. Appeal previously dismissed by the Secretary of State.

Policy DS20 identifies a Local Plan review mechanism that will be triggered if a range of circumstances arise, generally relating to issues that would affect the District as a whole and are not necessarily unique to Warwick, i.e. changes in national planning policy.
WDC should require the preparation of an Area Action Plan (AAP) for the wider area south of Coventry, rather than dealing with it through a partial review of the Local Plan.
Policy DS20 "Review of the Local Plan" is not „justified‟ by failing to be the most appropriate strategy for the District

This is a serious failing of co-operation between the C&W HMA authorities which has consequences for the soundness of individual Local Plans. Therefore the question remains whether or not the proposed Modifications 17 & 18 to Policy DS20 which set out triggers to action a review of the Warwick Local Plan adequately deal with and resolve the strategic matter of unmet housing needs arising in the C&W HMA.

It is also uncertain whether Modifications 17 to Policy DS20 cover the relationship between the C&W HMA and adjacent HMAs in which unmet housing needs are also arising, for example in Birmingham.

Gladman have concerns therefore that the Local Plan is not fully dealing with the issue of unmet need. In that context we

question the soundness of the current mechanism for plan review, which in theory could trigger an immediate review of the Local Plan. It would seem sensible to deal with these issues now.

The University notes that one of the new criteria for reviewing the Local Plan is "development and growth pressures arising from the specific circumstances in the area to the south of Coventry". This again is a cross reference to Policy DS NEW1 and the University strongly supports a consistent long term view being taken of the need to facilitate its growth including infrastructure improvements.

RADFORD SEMELE - Support the revised wording to this Policy which details the review (partial or whole) of the Local Plan. It is considered important to review the Plan particularly if it transpires through monitoring that the overall development strategy is not being met.

Our client holds a lifetime tenancy under the Agricultural Holdings Act 1986 and strongly objects to the principle of developing the land for housing. I attach a Site Plan showing the land subject to this representation.
Policy DS11 identifies a new total of 50 allocated housing sites including the subject of this representation; It is suggested that the land could accommodate approximately 30 dwellings.
The site comprises 1.31 ha agricultural land on the eastern edge of Barford. The land subject to this representation forms part of a larger, well-defined, parcel of agricultural land. Wasperton Farmhouse, a Grade II listed building, is located approximately 200 metres to the south.
Based on the identified NPPF and Local Plan policies, which are material considerations, allocation of this Grade 2 agricultural land for housing development is not acceptable in principle as the local planning authority should be safeguarding the best and most versatile agricultural land and seeking to develop on poorer quality land.
Development of the site would result not only in the perpetual loss of 1.31 hectares of Grade 2 agricultural land but also have a detrimental effect on the quality of the larger (approx.18 hectares) land parcel affecting the overall agricultural enterprise opportunity that it presents.
2. Physical Constraints and Impacts identified in the SHLAA
Physical constraints and potential development impacts put into question the overall suitability of the site for development in the SHLAA. The site is identified as having a high/medium landscape value. The risk of development encourages erosion of the agricultural landscape and also sprawl. There is a risk of surface water flooding on parts of the site. The development would have detrimental effect on the character of the open countryside and setting of the village.
3. Effect on the Setting of the Listed Building
The site abuts the track which provides an access to the listed building from Wasperton Lane. Development would bring the built area much closer to the listed building which is currently surrounded largely by open countryside and would result in substantial harm of the setting of the listed building contrary to the Local Plan and NPPF.
4. Emerging Neighbourhood Development Plan
Barford, Sherbourne and Wasperton Joint Parish Council have prepared a Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP). Once adopted, it will be a material consideration. Policy B1 (Future Housing Development) does not consider this as a preferred housing site.
Wasperton Lane is identified specifically as a 'Green Corridor'. Paragraph 5.39 identifies the views west along Wasperton Lane as being a protected view or vista.

Specific set of circumstances exist in the area south of Coventry that could warrant a review of the Local Plan. No other part of the District is under similar pressures or likely to experience such transformational change.
Suggest joint allocation of H42 and S1.
WDC should require an Area Action Plan for wider area south of Coventry rather than partial review of plan.
To establish a "policy hook‟ and to give landowners and developers greater certainly and confidence, the broad area could be referenced in the Local Plan with the exact extent determined through the preparation of the AAP itself.
