It is essential that the District Council fully considers the housing / employment balance. If the number of jobs in Warwick District significantly exceeded the resident workforce, this will result in considerable levels of commuting into the District. This could also create recruitment difficulties for employers, further adding to housing pressures in the District including affordable rents. The Coventry and Warwickshire SHMA has considered population dynamics, economic growth trends and potential, housing market dynamics and affordable housing needs in each area. These are brought together to provide an assessment of housing need for each local authority.
The SHMA concludes that provision of between 3,335 - 4,100 homes per annum would be appropriate. The mid-point of this range for 3,750 homes per annum would represent a reasonable level of provision across the HMA.
The SHMA is intended to provide a consistent assessment of need across the HMA. However, it is a strategic-level assessment and through the development of individual
authorities' development plans there may be wider evidence which forms part of the evidence base regarding more local dynamics and issues, including in regard to local
economic growth potential, which may provide a basis for refining needs estimates. In interpreting the conclusions herein, greater weight should be attached to the HMA-wide
findings. Unless, there is significant other evidence that we are not aware of, the County Council supports the conclusions of the Joint SHMA as robust strategic
evidence and therefore fundamental in shaping development strategies and strategic polices.

The SHMA has considered the needs of various groups within the community which might have specific housing needs. In particular it identifies the need to plan for an
ageing population over the period to 2031 in the HMA.
The evidence suggests as people get older, some may require support including adaptations to their properties to meet their changing needs, and provision of floating
support. It forecasts a growth of 80% in people with dementia and 65% in people with mobility problems over the period to 2031 (linked in particular to improvements in life expectancy). Therefore, housing need should also accommodate these requirements in the evidence base and the policies that reflect these matters.

The primary source of information for the historic environment, the Warwickshire Historic Environment Record (HER) , was not consulted. Consultation of the HER would have demonstrated that there are several known heritage assets of as yet unknown significance within several of the proposed strategic sites.
In addition, as noted in our previous consultation responses during the development of this local plan, there will also be archaeological sites as yet undiscovered which will not be recorded on the HER, and even in areas where no archaeology has been recorded,
evaluation may be required to confirm the presence/absence of remains. Consultation on a site by site basis will remain the best means of identifying archaeologically
sensitive areas on the basis of current knowledge, as well as areas where archaeological potential will need to be assessed through more detailed work.
Since the individual allocations will need to take account of the impact upon historic environment we recommend that further work (in the form of a historic environment
assessment) be undertaken to identify the issues in respect of the historic environment.
Whilst we are concerned in principle to the selection criteria, since they do not allow for a proper consideration of Historic Environment, we do not object in principle to the majority of sites selected providing that proper appraisal is undertaken and allowance made where necessary for preservation of sites of national Importance (in the sense of the 1979 Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act and the National Planning
Policy Framework).
