We support the release of the land to the east of Hatton Park from the Green Belt, which will be essential to the delivery of a sustainable residential development on this land.
In 2015, the Council undertook a review of the Joint Green Belt Study (Parcel HA1). The parcel scored 15/20 in this assessment. However, this assessment covered a wider area and thus does not accurately assess the allocation.
Therefore, we have prepared our own Landscape and Visual Appraisal of the Site - and summarises that: "this location would not result in urban sprawl or represent an encroachment into the wider countryside; it would not impact on local heritage assets or on the setting of historic Warwick; nor would it result in the coalescence between adjoining settlements. Accordingly, development could be accommodated without resulting in significant landscape and visual effects, or offending the objectives of Green Belt policy."

In relation to this Policy, we wish to support the Council in their approach to capping of the assumed delivery of the Westwood Heath and Kings Hill sites due to infrastructure and delivery rates respectively. Given the timescales for adoption of the Plan and progressing a site of the scale of Kings Hill, 1,800 dwellings by 2029 should be considered aspirational - and in order to ensure that the Plan remains realistic, consider that no uplift to this figure is appropriate.

Whilst we are generally supportive of the Council's approach to increasing the housing target, taking account of unmet needs to assist the HMA in meeting the requirements of the NPPF and satisfying the Duty-to-Cooperate, we remain concerned that the level of uplift at the HMA and District levels is insufficient.

Allows for delivery of additional 811 dwellings over and above requirement.
Support additional allocations - contributes to flexibility and soundness.
Safeguarded land will also achieve these outcomes.
Council will be able to demonstrate that they have been aspirational and realistic in allowing for any slippage.

Note housing trajectory that sits behind Policy DS7, which depicts timeline for the delivery of housing over the Plan period.
Trajectory seeking sharp increase, from c850 forecast completions in 2015/16 to a minimum of c1,400 dpa over period 2017/18 - 2022/23.
Such an increase is considerable, and to maximise the chances of this being delivered, Council will require as many deliverable sites as possible to come forward to help meet this need.
Supportive of land at Milverton being allocated for residential development and support increased allocation for further delivery within Plan period.

Agree with the justification for releasing sites from the Green Belt to meet the needs of the Housing Market Area.
North Warwickshire has adopted a Sound Plan in accordance with the NPPF that includes within it 500 dwellings to meet the needs of Tamworth without any sites immediately adjacent to the urban area from which unmet needs are originating.

Agree with allocation in principle.
Larger allocation could be delivered on the proposed safeguarded area of the Site within the Plan period - Site under the control of Taylor Wimpey.
Number of infrastructure requirements identified - don't dispute contributions in principle but further discussions required, particularly over park and ride and railway.

We agree in principle with the proposed allocation of Site H44 for residential development. However, given it offers a sustainable and logical extension to the north of Leamington Spa we consider that a larger allocation could be delivered on the proposed safeguarded area of the Site within the Plan period - with the whole Site being under the control of Taylor Wimpey.
