Q-S8.1: For settlements falling outside the chosen growth strategy, do you think a threshold approach is appropriate, to allow more small-scale developments to come forward? Yes, Marriott Estates agree that a threshold approach would be appropriate for any settlement not within the chosen strategy. This would ensure those settlements are able to plan for growth to meet their needs, particularly those settlements within designated neighbourhood areas in accordance with NPPF66. Q-S8.2: For sites coming forward as part of this threshold approach, what do you think would be an appropriate size limit for individual sites? Any limit on the size of site should have regard to the factors set out in NPPF67, namely local housing need, population of the area, and the strategy for the area. Other factors should also be taken into account such as the availability of suitable land, proximity to nearby towns, or scale of local employment opportunities. Therefore, the threshold should not be set at a fixed figure but should be flexible to respond to the circumstances of the settlement.

Yes, Marriott Estates support the allocation of other sites as necessary for short-term development. These sites should include those proposed to be allocated as reserve sites within the Site Allocations Plan, such as the land at John Taylor Way, Moreton Morrell (Site MM.C). This site has been allocated as a reserve site for 20 dwellings, although it should be noted it has capacity for up to 35 dwellings on account of the fact the land available includes 1.17ha of open space to the south (see call for sites submission from 2021). Its suitability, availability and deliverability has therefore been assessed, and found to be acceptable. The site is to be released for development when required by the District Council. The requirement to allocate sites through the South Warwickshire Local Plan should be the trigger to release the reserve sites within the Site Allocations Plan, and this should be confirmed within the South Warwickshire Local Plan Part 1 Document.
Yes, growth of existing settlements in South Warwickshire is imperative to deliver the overall growth targets, and achieve the Vision and overarching principles. The need for housing, affordable housing, green infrastructure, improved facilities and infrastructure is within the towns and villages. Those needs are best met sustainably adjacent to the settlements.
Q-E7.1: Core Opportunity Areas 15. Marriott Estates support option E7.1a and directing employment growth to the Core Opportunity Area. Recognition within any policy that supports this area should be given to Moreton Morrell College.
