The Neighbourhood Plan Policy Maps 2 and 3 need to be updated to outline the Local Plan housing allocations in Bishops Tachbrook as well as the developments currently under construction which include Oakley Grove Phase 1 and 2. The recently permitted Oakley Grove Phase 3 outline permission (W/19/1030) should also be outlined on the policy map. We attach the approved Parameters Plan (drawing no: 0301 Rev P-07) for Oakley Grove Phase 3 which also identifies Oakley Grove Phases 1 and 2. We also attach the decision notice for Oakley Grove Phase 3 outline consent.

Paragraph 4.6
It should be clarified at this paragraph that the Asps already benefits from an extant planning permission in addition to the Local Plan allocation H46B. The permission is already the subject of legal agreements under S106 of the Town & Country Planning Act, to ensure the delivery of a range of community and public planning gain, including the provision of the proposed Park and Ride facility and arrangements relating to affordable housing, biodiversity off-setting, education, healthcare, police, public rights of way and sustainable travel/welcome packs. The impact arising from the Asps, and the mitigation necessary to address it, has already been determined through the grant of planning permission.

As currently drafted the Plan may give rise to a perception or expectation that these matters could be re-visited through Neighbourhood Plan policy. To avoid this, it is suggested that the Plan text here be amended to clarify that permission was granted for development of the Asps in January 2016, and that appropriate mitigation is already secured through the S106 agreements entered into at that time.

Key Issues of the draft Neighbourhood Plan states that the Neighbourhood Plan is not looking to identify further sites for development or change the village growth envelope, seemingly on the basis that other developments within the area have fulfilled the Warwick Local Plan's requirements.

Neighbourhood plans must not promote less development than is set out in the relevant Local Plan for their area, but it is not an absolute maximum on the development which can be accommodated. Para 60 of the NPPF refer to 'minimum' numbers of homes for relevant Local Plan periods. In alluring to no additional residential development in the Neighbourhood Plan Area over its plan period the Plan as drafted fails Basic Condition test a) as it is not in conformity with national or local planning policies.

Paragraph 4.16 of the draft Neighbourhood Plan refers to the development of a 'Masterplan' for infrastructure development in the Neighbourhood Plan Area, however, if this does not come forward alongside the Neighbourhood Plan it will only be able to be given limited weight until such time it can go through the formal examination process as part of any future review of the Neighbourhood Plan. It would seem more sensible to produce a Masterplan for the village and wider Neighbourhood Plan Area as appropriate, that can be the subject of the statutory consultation process that is part of the development of the Neighbourhood Plan.

Relevant policies (e.g. NPPF para 11) require that the BTNP should allow for sufficient flexibility to accommodate the Local Plan (in its entirety including the potential impact of its required review), and any other emerging changes such as the new 2020 standard method calculation of OAN housing requirement. It should not restrict development in a way that would conflict with those policies including the likely potential for an upward change in need, and it is recommended that reserve sites are allocated in accordance with NPPF para 11 and NPPG para 009 in order to accommodate that required flexibility.

Paragraph 4.5 states “The BTNDP will, therefore, not look to identify further sites or change the growth village envelope. These should remain unchanged and be used to manage any proposed housing growth to 2029” which is in direct conflict with the policy requirements for flexibility described above. This should be deleted or amended to meet basic conditions.
