Hallam Land request that the SWLP allocates south-east Southam as a location for development, due to the joint and collaborative approach from landowners, the alignment with the spatial strategy, alignment with the overarching principles of the SWLP, and infrastructure that can be delivered. Southam is the best ranked SGL in South Warwickshire (in the HELAA), South-east Southam is the best location for growth in Southam.

The South Warwickshire Councils must continually review the Local Housing Need up to adoption, they must consider an increased higher housing need, implement a 5% lapse rate to account for unimplemented commitments, and reassess the existing commitments and windfall allowance as outlined.

It is imperative that the SWLP adequately considers accommodating unmet housing needs arising from outside of South Warwickshire. There are significant unmet needs arising from the GBBCHMA which require attention, and potential unmet needs arising from Coventry which should be taken account of accordingly. There is also potential for unmet needs arising from Cotswold District, Redditch Borough and Solihull Metropolitan Borough which should be considered. Failure to do so would render the SWLP not positively prepared nor effective and thus unsound in line with Paragraph 36 a) and c) of the NPPF.

Development proposals should endeavour to deliver the infrastructure set out in the transport strategies outlined, but the SWC’s must acknowledge the ability and need for strategic scale sites to deliver infrastructure that is considered important to a local community but not formally identified within an IDP or other transport strategy. Regarding infrastructure requirements for strategic allocations, the SWCs should collaborate with those bringing the site’s forward to understand site-specific requirements. Allocations with overly onerous infrastructure requirements may delay the delivery of sites due to viability or feasibility concerns. Requirements for infrastructure should not undermine the deliverability of the plan.

The principle of Draft Policy Direction 8 is acceptable. The SWLP should ensure that policies regarding density align with Paragraphs 129 and 130 of the Framework, particularly local market conditions and viability (Paragraph 129b). Any density policy within the SWLP should acknowledge the impact that evidence-based housing needs. The needs of Southam must be considered, the SWCs should not enforce densities which would not deliver the homes to meet the identified need, as this may impact developer viability.

Full use should be made of brownfield land in suitable locations in line with national policy. However, given the scale of need identified, it can only play a small part in meeting the requirement and greenfield sites will be required to deliver the Vision in relation to infrastructure and affordable homes.

The Councils will be well aware of the difficulties in relying on new settlements to deliver significant growth from the experiences at Long Marston. There is a need for robust infrastructure and delivery strategies that can demonstrate the Plan is sound. In the absence of any evidence, it is difficult at this stage to conclude that a new settlement should be part of the Plan. The most reliable short to medium-term growth locations are those that are sustainably located adjacent to existing settlements, such as Southam.

The South Warwickshire Councils are justified in their approach to housing mix and tenure as it reflects the ambitions of Paragraph 63 of the NPPF, and the NPPF as a whole. The Councils should ensure they provide flexibility within their housing mix and tenure policies to account for circumstances where delivering a housing mix in-line with the identified mix is not feasible or logical.
