New searchQ-W1: Should the Part 1 plan include a policy on pollution? 7.1 Caddick Land supports the introduction of a policy which would cover all pollution and would ensure that any development that would result in a significant impact on the health and wellbeing of people in an area will not be permitted unless effective mitigation can be achieved. However, the Policy needs to be suitably worded to allow for offsetting and mitigation measures. The Policy should also be clear in defining what is classed as effective mitigation. Q-W3: One of the overarching principles to achieve the vision of the SWLP is ‘a healthy, safe and inclusive South Warwickshire – enabling everyone to enjoy safe and healthy lifestyles with a good quality of life.’ Consequently, an overall policy should be included with Part 1 to help achieve the overall vision, however cannot be detailed until Part 2. As a result, the Policy would need to be brief but re-affirm that development should achieve healthy, safe and inclusive communities. The Policy needs to be worded in accordance with the NPPF, specifically paragraph 8, contributing towards the overall achievement of sustai nable development, whereby the social objective is achieved by supporting a strong, vibrant and healthy community. Furthermore, Paragraph 92 of the NPPF states that planning policies should aim to achieve healthy, inclusive and safe places which promote so cial interaction, are safe and accessible and enable and support healthy lifestyles.

Q-T1: Caddick Land suggests that Option T1a is pursued on the basis that it is not appropriate to introduce this Policy within the strategic element of the Part 1 Plan, and should therefore be considered at a later date, within the Part 2 Plans. Furthermore, the principle of 20 - minute neighbourhoods predominantly relates to the location of development, which will be enacted through allocations. The inclusion of a subsequent policy would therefore be redundant. 8.2 However, if the Councils wish to include consideration to twenty minute neighbourhoods within Part 1, it should be in reference to principles, as Option T1b sets ou t. However, all principles need to be tested, evidenced and justified and as this Option is not specific enough in identifying the principles, cannot be fully commented upon. Q-T2: Option T2a should be incorporated into the SWLP, where a Policy is introduced to allow for a hierarchical approach. Caddick Land agrees car parking standards should be amended in areas where public transport accessibility is strong, to encourage reliance away from the private car. 8.4 However, sufficient evidence is required to determine what transport infrastructure is required as a result of developments and how the hierarchy varies based upon different geographical locations. As a result, the hierarchy needs to be considered to ensure flexibility, as different geographical areas would have different hierarchies, and therefore Policy needs to ensure flexibility. 8.5 Development also presents an opportunity to deliver additional transport infrastructure, including enhancing off-road pedestrian and cycle connectivity. This is evidence at Land off Warwick Road, Leek Wootton.

Q-B5: Caddick Land states that Option B5c is appropriate in relation to Environmental Net Gain. Caddick Land appreciates and acknowledges the requirement of the Environmental Act, for 10% biodiversity net gain, however cannot support either Option B5a or B5b a s it is unclear how either option would work in practice. Clarity is required to understand how Air Quality, Water Quality and Carbon Capture can feed into the environmental net gain concept, and further evidence is required to show how this would work in practice, but also from a viability perspective. As a result, Caddick Land reserves the right to comment on any future policy later in the plan making process. Q-B6: Should the South Warwickshire Local Plan introduce Wildbelt designations? 9.2 The South Warwickshire Local Plan should not introduce Wildbelt designations, to enable the goal of 30% of land to be managed for nature by 2030. As Issue B6 sets out, ‘the idea of Wildbelt is that it protects the space that nature needs for the future,’ h owever Caddick Land questions how the Council are aware of what areas require protecting at this stage, due to the lack of evidence produved at this point. The Councils need to undertake further work, including that tounderstand their housing and employment land requirements prior to introducing further designations. Any proposed Policy in relation to Wildbelt designations, including the identification of land needs to be fully consulted and engaged upon if the Council proceed on this basis.
QB8.1: Caddick Land recognises the need to retain the highest quality agricultural land. However, this must be balanced against other needs across South Warwickshire, including the need to provide sufficient market and affordable homes. 9.4 Any policy should therefore seek to retain Grade 1 Excellent Quality agricultural land, whilst development on all other agricultural qualities should be taken on a case by case basis, dependent on the merits of the proposal.
Caddick Land broadly supports the broad content of the Part 1 Plan, however re -iterates that there remains a large amount of evidence required to understand all the topics listed. Furthermore, it is important that the content is clear in terms of what is deemed as a strategic policy at this level. Those identified strategic policies also need to be reflective and appropriate for future allocations that may be identified within the Part 2 Local Plan.
