Hill Residential supports policy, with comments. As demonstrated by our response to Table 6 and proposed new settlement location B1 ‘Land at Hatton’, there are no significant constraints to the delivery of ‘Hatton Villages’ which cannot be overcome, and the ‘Hatton Villages’ site (part of the wider B1 area) is the most sustainable location for new settlement scale growth across the SWLP and should be proposed for allocation.

Hill supports the policy, subject to infrastructure requirements being balanced with viability, including the Green Belt 'Golden Rules'.

Hill Residential has concerns with regards to the approach set out within Draft Policy Direction 1. Whilst the emerging plan has been prepared against the backdrop of changing national policy, the approach as set out is not justified based on the NPPF 2024 and accompanying PPG.

Draft Policy Direction 1 should therefore be redrafted:
“The South Warwickshire Local Plan will make provision for the delivery of at least 2,188 dwellings per annum, this being the minimum need calculated using the standard method. This equates to at least 54,700 dwellings over a 25-year plan period from 2025 – 2050”.

Yes. Hill Residential supports the inclusion of New Settlement Location B1.

There are no significant constraints to the delivery of ‘Hatton Villages’ which cannot be overcome. Hill Residential supports Location B1 as a proposed allocation for new settlement scale growth given the extensive evidence base demonstrating the sustainability of the entire area assessed, as well as the site-specific evidence demonstrating the deliverability of Hill Residential’s ‘Hatton Villages’ extent of the area. The ‘Hatton Villages’ site (part of the B1 area) is the most sustainable location for new settlement scale growth across the SWLP and should be proposed for allocation.

Part S of the Building Regulations sets out current requirements for EV charging in new residential and non-residential development. These typically exceed current adopted local standards.

The Grand Union Canal bisects ‘Hatton Villages’, which offers an incredible opportunity to support improved access and an enhanced sense of place along the Canal. Hill Residential has undertaken early engagement with the Canal & River Trust (‘CRT’) who agree that appropriate and sensitive canalside development should be strongly encouraged and supported.

Working closely with CRT, ‘Hatton Villages’ will provide a Canalside Park with better access and upgrades to the towpath making it a more accessible and attractive active travel route for year-round utility and commuting cycling trips.

Hill Residential has no objection to this policy. It is likely that a site of ‘Hatton Villages’ scale will require its own, focused design code.

Hill Residential is supportive of this draft policy. Indeed, the proposals for ‘Hatton Villages’ (as outlined in the separate call for sites submission and summarised in response to Table 6 and proposed new settlement location B1 ‘Land at Hatton’) have been designed with these design principles in mind.
