The summary of the emerging Regional and Sub-Regional Strategy (Phase Two Revision) does not properly reflect the objectives for the growth of the Coventry and Warwickshire Sub-Region.

In so far as Kenilworth is concerned, strategic scale development for housing and employment uses at Kenilworth, as suggested to the south and east, would, in our view, impact on the programme for the regeneration of the Coventry.

Our clients agree that the growth of Warwick/Leamington should be directed to the south of the existing urban area in order to avoid incursions into the Green Belt in the other parts of the District.

We consider the objective that deals with a Sustainable Innovative and Productive Economy does not properly reflect the specific issues that must be addressed in accommodating future growth within the District.

"To maintain a strong and growing economy by providing a range of available and suitable sites which are focussed on the north-south corridor and with particular reference to;

a.The need to encourage the diversification of the economy.
b.Encouraging clusters of development linked to research and development capabilities.
c.Ensuring that a sufficiency of suitable sites for employment uses are available and able to be developed in accordance with the RSS.

The Preferred Options do not make sufficient provision for land for employment across the District and more specifically for uses B1a and B1b which will be the principle drivers of the future growth and prosperity for the sub-region.

No great reliance should be placed on the existing forward supply of employment land to meet most of the changing requirements for employment sites.

Additional employment land therefore needs to be identified which can in part be met by the allocation of the site at Gallows Hill in the Core Strategy.

The scale of growth at Kenilworth should be much lower than suggested for the following reasons;

a.Any development on Green Belt land should be minimised and should be as a last resort where there are other non-Green Belt sites available for development.

b.The Phase Two Revision to RSS does not identify Kenilworth as a node for employment growth within the Coventry Solihull Warwickshire High Technology Corridor. It is therefore an inappropriate location in those terms for strategic employment growth as proposed.

c.Strategic scale development as proposed will detract from the efforts to regenerate the economy of the Coventry MUA

It would have been helpful at this stage in the consultations on the strategy if the broad infrastructure requirements for the development of the strategic sites (and the alternatives to them) were outlined to enable comparisons to be made and assessments about delivery and developability.

The Draft Core Strategy must embrace these principles and show how the choices relate to the specific infrastructure requirements (and costs) for sites.

In so far as the Community Infrastructure Levy is concerned (CIL), it should be noted that the current consultation on detailed proposals and draft regulations does not suggest this will, in any way, replace or exclude a facility to enter into a planning obligation under Section 106 of the Act in order to fund contributions to infrastructure on a site by site basis.

Strategic scale development for housing and employment uses at Kenilworth, as suggested to the south and east of the town, would, in our view, impact on the programme for the regeneration of the Coventry.

The land is within the Green Belt. As such it is a site to which the Council should only have recourse if sites within the built up area of the District and urban extension sites to Warwick and Leamington Spa prove insufficient to meet requirement to 2026 for both housing and employment.
