Revised Development Strategy

RDS1: The Council is adopting an Interim Level of Growth of 12,300 homes between 2011 and 2029

Representation ID: 55439

Received: 29/07/2013

Respondent: Grevayne Properties Ltd

Agent: Cerda Planning Ltd

Representation Summary:

It is welcomed that the Council recognise that interim housing figure could and should change as result of more up to date evidence as it emerges.

Important however that the Council recognise the important provisions of the NPPF, in particular the -need to meet the full objectively assessed housing needs, and the need to boost significantly the supply of housing.

The Council are therefore invited to re-assess housing figures increasing the requirements to reflect the historical -local growth; apply the ONS figures with some caution; and recognise the important requirement to meet the -full objectively assessed housing need.

RDS3: The Council's Preferred Option for the broad location of development is to:

Representation ID: 56590

Received: 29/07/2013

Respondent: Grevayne Properties Ltd

Agent: Cerda Planning Ltd

Representation Summary:

The policy does not set out the levels of growth for the larger more sustainable villages and the smaller villages and hamlets; in both cases appropriate levels of growth should be provided and housing numbers should be reasonably significant (without undermining the urban first approach to development), given the significant number of larger villages and smaller villages and hamlet across what is largely a rural District.

The Council must ensure that housing is distributed to larger villages and smaller Villages and hamlets, in order that they deliver housing in their own right as opposed to these locations being seen as a 'sweeper' once all opportunities for development at the larger urban centres are exhausted.

Concern is expressed in relation to the proposed site for large scale Green Bell release at Kenilworth, since the proposed allocation comprises a significant tract of land fully within the Green Belt which, to some extent, performs a Green Wedge and assists in avoiding coalescence between settlements.

The Plan has not adequately demonstrated that all non-Green Belt sites have been exhausted.

RDS4: The broad location of development

Representation ID: 56591

Received: 29/07/2013

Respondent: Grevayne Properties Ltd

Agent: Cerda Planning Ltd

Representation Summary:

1,000 units identified to village locations are considered to be unreasonably low -only 15.1% of the total housing provision.

Warwick is a largely rural District with a significant number of villages and hamlets and the quantum of housing to be delivered to these locations in order to underpin the sustainability and viability of these villages and to meet housing need in the location in which it arises is not considered sufficient and should be increased.

Locations such as Baddesley Clinton should therefore see increased housing given their sustainability credentials and the need to underpin their sustainability and viability.

Baddesley Clinton

Representation ID: 56592

Received: 29/07/2013

Respondent: Grevayne Properties Ltd

Agent: Cerda Planning Ltd

Representation Summary:

Distribution of housing to primary service villages and secondary villages is questioned. The overall housing figure should be increased in order that the fully assessed housing need is met by the Plan; and that a greater proportion of housing should be directed to village locations.

Locations such as Baddesley Clinton should therefore see increased housing given their sustainability credentials and the need to underpin their sustainability and viability.

Thickthorn

Representation ID: 56593

Received: 29/07/2013

Respondent: Grevayne Properties Ltd

Agent: Cerda Planning Ltd

Representation Summary:

Object to the proposal to allocate 700 houses on 46.5 hectares of Green Belt at Thickthorn, Kenilworth:

* The site represents a large tract of land, of significance given it performs all of the Green Belt functions set out within the NPPF.
* It operates as a Green Wedge and serves to avoid coalescence with Leamington.
* It is highly visible and is regarded as sensitive in landscape. visual and openness terms (the primary purpose of designating Green Belt).

In circumstances where alternative options are available to meet the housing requirements of the Plan the emerging allocation cannot be regarded as being sound.
