RADFORD SEMELE
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.

Council propose to deliver an additional 811 dwellings, over and above the proposed requirement of 16,766 dwellings for the Plan period. Regardless of the housing requirement, we support the approach of the Council in seeking to allocate additional land; as such an approach provides a positively prepared Plan that will be more effective in delivering the minimum requirements of the area, and is flexible to changing demands over the Plan period. This is supported in the NPPF at paragraph 14 where national policy supports the objective of meeting the OAHN with sufficient flexibility to adapt to rapid change.

RADFORD SEMELE - Note housing trajectory behind Policy DS7, which depicts timeline for the delivery of housing over Plan period. Trajectory is seeking a sharp increase, from circa 850 forecast completions in 2015/16 to a minimum of circa 1,400 dpa over the period 2017/18 to 2022/23. Reviewed Council's past completion rates - note that this level of annual housing growth has never been previously achieved. 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 meet need.

OMISSION site: -
- Site south of Offchurch Lane could be sufficiently allocated as part of a more comprehensive allocation in conjunction with Site H38.
- subject to current (May 2016) planning application for up to 150 dwellings
- reason for non-allocation was concern over capacity of village school by County Council - no objection raised by County council to planning application subject to s106
- incorrect to say that there are no suitable sites outside of the Green Belt

RADFORD SEMELE - Support the revised wording to this Policy which details the review (partial or whole) of the Local Plan. It is considered important to review the Plan particularly if it transpires through monitoring that the overall development strategy is not being met.

RADFORD SEMELE - Agree with capping of assumed delivery of Westwood Heath and Kings Hill due to infrastructure and delivery rates as well as lack of demonstrable delivery on highly sensitive and constrained sites that have yet to be properly assessed for suitability and capacity.
It is important in meeting the needs of the HMA that Council are realistic in this regard to ensure that the Plan is effective and deliverable by 2029. Given the timescales for adoption of the Plan and progressing of a site the scale of Kings Hill, 1,800 dwellings by 2029 should be considered highly aspirational.

Additional 811 dwellings proposed over and above 16,766 dwellings in Plan period. Support Council in allocating additional land; Plan will be more effective in delivering minimum requirements of area, flexible to changing demands. Supported in NPPF paragraph 14.
Will assist Council in demonstrating that they have been both aspirational and realistic in progressing Plan (in accordance with NPPF), with slight overprovision allowing for slippages in the provision of wider strategic sites - may be helpful given proximity of allocations to south of Warwick/Leamington Spa - and maximise chance of five-year housing land supply being demonstrable over Plan period.
