Q-H4-1: NWBC Response – Agree. This is an essential area of cross-boundary co-operation and an active element for the Duty to Co-operate. The Plan should clearly identify and reflect the current commitments included within existing adopted Local plan. This commitment be included/reflected as part of the current need in addition to any emerging need, and the approach used as part of the legal requirement in the Duty to Co-operate (as part of the wider GBBCHMA and CWHMA work) to continue in order to address future need Q-H4-2: NWBC Response – Base the accommodation on evidence of travel to work/commuting patterns to provide a true reflection of relationship with GBBCHMA. No further comment.
NWBC Response – Incorporate the shortfalls as an integral part of the Plans overall housing requirement, to be provided within the Plans overall settlement site allocations or similar. Advisable to avoid specific site allocations/identification to address the shortfall to be accommodated. No further comment.

Q-C7: Please select the option which is most appropriate for South Warwickshire NWBC Response – Improved building regulations (national) would be a better more proactive approach to addressing the issue and viability may be an issue. Improved insulation may also be a method of addressing the issue and the Plan can ‘encourage’ improvements to design, but to include requirements within Policy will require evidence/justification for an approach specific to South Warwickshire Plan area, until National Building Regs are revised. No further comments. Q-C9.1: Please select the option which is most appropriate for South Warwickshire NWBC Response – Preference towards option C9.1a, but there may be site/development circumstances where it is difficult to have less than 50% of the wider site to consist of paved/hard surfaced areas, particularly in urban or pdl situations.

Issue D2: Design Codes and design guides NWBC Response – A mix of three main Options D2a to D2c may be most appropriate, with an overall Design Guide that breaks down to (has related Appendices or SPD type guides as a ‘framework’ of associated documents) more settlement and/or site or development specific design guides or codes. No further comments. Q-D3: Please select all options which are appropriate for South Warwickshire NWBC Response – A minimum density expectation should be identified for the plan to ensure efficient use of development land. A mix/combination of Options D3b to D3c may be most appropriate, to ensure appropriate ‘minimum’ densities are achieved yet provide for flexibility where necessary and appropriate, allowing lower density design in rural landscape or heritage circumstances (if relevant) and including where significantly increased densities could be applied/enabled. The lack of sufficient public transport and sustainable transport links/routes in rural areas may make Option D3d difficult to apply. No further comments.
