Q-D2 52. A Design Guide Framework for South Warwickshire could be devised providing clear principles and standards for new development. More detailed Design Guides for specific areas, including character areas if intensification is to occur, can be produced, could be written by those bodies preparing Neighbourhood Plans if it was felt additional local guidance was required. Q-D3 Inclusion of a minimum density policy needs some further thoughts because increasingly housing schemes are including larger areas of green and blue infrastructure to deliver sustainable drainage, retaining features on-site, play spaces, space for new trees, segregated foot/cycleways and providing for biodiversity gain. If a minimum density policy is to be introduced then it needs to be based upon the area which will accommodate the housing itself not the whole of the site. In any event, the density of development of a scheme should be design led, which also means having regard to the character of the area and whether the site could create its own character without harming the area within which it sits. Q-D5 54. In reality there is little merit in having a strategic policy concerning heritage because this is already well addressed in the NPPF. As with Green Belt policy, a reference to the NPPF would be appropriate.
Q-W2 55. The threshold for any Heath Impact Assessments being required should be a high threshold (e.g. 150 dwellings) because it is usually the scale of the proposal which has the greatest effect on healthcare provision.

Q-T2 Braemar is supportive of policies that support sustainable and active travel options. A hierarchical approach would, however, include the increasing role of mobility through technology and different modes of travel. For example, the role of the internet in meaning people do not actually need to travel to work or shops should be fully considered alongside e-scooters and e-bikes as reducing the effort needed for people to use active travel options, which more people are more willing to travel a longer distance compared to mechanical scooters and bikes.

Q-B3 59. As a matter of principle, there should be no Special Landscape Areas within South Warwickshire because normal countryside and landscape impact policies are sufficient to protect all landscapes. Q-B4 60. National policy should be relied upon for the AONB because there is no specific need for local policies. There is no national basis for a buffer policy for the AONB. The setting of the AONB is a landscape judgement to be made on an individual basis not through a generic policy.
