AC Lloyd raise one issue that the SWLP is to be progressed in two parts. A single SWLP would be much clearer, without the need to save selected existing policies. It would better meet the Government’s expectations to ensure sites are quickly allocated, permitted and developed to drive economic growth. A number of policy areas typically associated with Part2 plans are coming forward in Part 1. If the Councils don't wish to allocate small residential sites at the non-strategic village level, then that aspect could be addressed through an overall requirement figure, criteria-based policies, and neighbourhood plans.

Agent: Delta Planning

AC Lloyd supports the objective of prioritising development within the most sustainable locations. AC Lloyd supports the general approach to identifying Spatial Growth Options in principle. SG06 includes AC Lloyd sites at land off Bamburgh Grove (reference no. 165). As the new Standard Method is in place this must now be applied and the plan must accommodate the higher housing figure (54,450 dwellings) for the plan period. In addition, any housing needs that cannot be met within neighbouring planning authority areas should also be taken into account in establishing the amount of housing to be planned for.

As outlined in our response to Chapter 4 given that the revised National Planning Policy Framework (December 2024) has now been published with the new Standard Method in place this must now be applied, and the plan must accommodate the higher housing figure (2,178 dwellings per annum) as a minimum local housing need figure which amounts to 54,450 dwellings for the 25 year plan period. In addition to this, any needs that cannot be met within neighbouring planning authority areas should also be taken into account in establishing the amount of housing to be planned for.

AC Lloyd considers that the requirement for all planning applications for major development to be supported by a Health Impact Assessment is unnecessary and objects to the principle of the inclusion of such a policy, and any requirement at planning application stage for a Health Impact Assessment (HIA).
The formulation and end result of HIAs is effectively the collation and duplication of information already submitted as part of any major planning application.
AC Lloyd therefore considers such a policy unnecessary and should not be included in the Local Plan. See full response.

AC Lloyd fully supports Strategic Growth Location SG06 (North of Leamington). This location includes land off Bamburgh Grove (reference no.165) submitted by AC Lloyd through the call for sites.

This Growth Option is consistent with the identification of Leamington as an Urban Area suitable for new housing in the Warwick District Local Plan (2017) and the site provides a logical sustainable expansion to the north of the town.

The HELAA results show that the site scores very well (i.e. with a low score) and therefore should be taken through as an allocation into the Regulation 19 plan.

Site 165: Land off Bamburgh Grove, Leamington Spa has capacity for approximately 40 homes. The Illustrative Site Layout Plan and Vision Document included in the call for sites submission is reattached for ease. The site is in single ownership and is immediately available.

AC Lloyd broadly supports the findings of the HELAA B results and supports the conclusion in that the site remains in consideration for residential use in the SWLP.

The site offers a highly sustainable location for future housing development and should therefore be identified as a residential allocation in the South Warwickshire Local Plan.
