Burton Green Neighbourhood Area Designation

Dear Sir / Madam

BURTON GREEN PARISH COUNCIL NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN DESIGNATION CONSULTATION

Thank you for consulting with the Home Builders Federation (HBF) on the Burton Green Parish Council Neighbourhood Plan. The HBF is the principal representative body of the house-building industry in England and Wales. Our representations reflect the views of our membership, which includes multi-national PLC's, regional developers and small, local builders. In any one year, our members account for over 80% of all new "for sale" market housing built in England and Wales as well as a large proportion of newly built affordable housing. We would like to submit the following comments.

We commend the Parish Council on taking this initial step in the preparation of their Neighbourhood Plan by applying for designation of its proposed plan boundaries. We trust that the Neighbourhood Plan will be in general conformity with the emerging New Local Plan for Warwick. In Policy PO4 Distribution of Sites for Housing of the New Local Plan Preferred Options, Burton Green is identified as a Category 2 Village with a proposal for the development of circa 30-80 new dwellings over the plan period (2011-2029) whilst Policy PO16 Green Belt proposes to remove Burton Green from the Green Belt and redraw its settlement boundaries accordingly. We trust that the Parish and District Councils will work positively and collaboratively together on these policy proposals. Finally we trust that the Parish Council will comply with the requirements for Neighbourhood Plans as set out in Paragraphs 2, 58, 69, 155, 183, 184 and 185 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
