Sites Review

Representation ID: 61861

Received: 20/01/2014

Respondent: Bishop's Tachbrook Parish Council

Representation Summary:

-Other small sites around the parish could accommodate small numbers of housing and these are being considered in our Neighbourhood Plan.
-The Tollgate House site has been granted to have 6 houses constructed. This number could be increased.
-150 houses represent 18%+ increase in the village housing stock and a 20% increase in our population. This is higher than any other rural community in the District. The community needs 15 new homes (10 'market' and 5 'affordable').
-The scale of development is not required when 4500 new houses are being proposed on sites within 2 miles of the village.

Village Boundaries and Non-Green Belt Villages

Representation ID: 61862

Received: 20/01/2014

Respondent: Bishop's Tachbrook Parish Council

Representation Summary:

-The VHO should specify the rural area policies that will apply to any land outside the agreed village boundaries, in particular non-green belt villages per para 6.9 on page 32. This could allow "exception sites" for small, appropriate developments to be brought forward as is the case in the current Local Plan.

5. Site Selection Process and Methodology

Representation ID: 61865

Received: 20/01/2014

Respondent: Bishop's Tachbrook Parish Council

Representation Summary:

-A second phase VHO should be set in train immediately to address the opportunities for new housing across all rural settlements in the District, through phased development over the planned period. By spreading the housing requirement more realistically the pressure on infrastructure will be reduced.
-Due to demographic and societal changes it is probable that all rural settlements, not just those selected in this consultation, might be capable of and benefit from some new housing.

Representation ID: 61868

Received: 20/01/2014

Respondent: Bishop's Tachbrook Parish Council

Representation Summary:

-Traffic on Oakley Wood Road is already a concern during peak times and according to the Transport Assessment (Phase 3) with the developments set out in the Local Plan per para 2.7 these figures are predicted to rise by 45% and 46% respectively.
-A similar study should be carried out for Mallory Road which is already heavily used by commuters to reach the M40 from Leamington, passing through the centre of the village. The junction of Mallory Road and Banbury Road (B4100) has a bad accident record.
