- Alignment with the Spatial Growth Strategy and South Warwickshire Council’s evidence base has acknowledged the intrinsic sustainability of Kenilworth.
- Alignment with the Overarching Principles

The Vision should recognise that there are unmet development needs outside of South Warwickshire that may need to be met within South Warwickshire. A Strategic Objective should also be to meet any unmet housing needs from communities elsewhere that cannot meet their needs, where it is practical and consistent with achieving sustainable development. This would align the strategic objective with the ‘positively prepared’ test of soundness.

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 Plan should safeguard land for proposed transport infrastructure, however it should also be clear as to how the infrastructure is to be funded and delivered, and how it is to support planned growth within the Plan (i.e. which developments will benefit from the infrastructure and therefore need to contribute to its delivery).

Hallam Land consider there are clear sustainability benefits to utilising Green Belt land for development as opposed to channelling all development to non-Green Belt locations. This is particularly the case in so far as land south of Stoneleigh Road (Site ID 103).

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.
