New searchThe JPC has had difficulty assessing the volume and detail of the plan in the timescale. We realise that some difficulties are inevitable but there are in reality only a few key issues in the plan and they are lost in the excessive detail. It would be better if several of the policy areas were dealt with in a separate consultation probably reserved to the individual District authorities in line with the subsidiarity principle. The JPC considers that the Part 1 plan should be a high level strategic plan which contains the issues which are central to the long term settlement pattern of the sub Region. The plan is also unrealistically long given the rate of social and economic change. There should be intermediate 5 year time periods with milestone and SMART targets. In addition the plan should be backed by a financial analysis of the cost of different options and a risk assessment of affordability of the different approaches. The failure to include a major set of options about the green belt in the consultation indicates a lack of appropriate focus. It essential that the Preferred Option stage is far more focussed and cogent with these intermediate stages and targets.
Throughout the document we have identified policies which are inappropriate or being addressed in the wrong place . Part 1 Preferred Options should be radically shortened. There is a plethora of policy options which are not central to the political decisions to South Warwickshire’s future or are duplicating national legislation or policy.
