S1 could deliver circa 900 dwellings, with further development capacity on land to the south.
Council should allocate both H42 and S1 as a single strategic allocation, with a restriction on dwelling delivery in advance of the required highway interventions being delivered.
STA failed to consider scenarios comprising a more equitable distribution of housing between Westwood Heath and Kings Hill.

MoU not agreed to by Nuneaton and Bedworth BC, unmet need figure for Warwick District could potentially increase.
Given significant level of unmet housing needs arising from Coventry, Council should maximise opportunities to locate housing on the edge of Coventry.
Restriction on housing in Westwood Heath related to strategic transport evidence of lack of capacity. Emphasis on Kings Hill in the first instance.
Should consider more equitable distribution between Westwood Heath and Kings Hill.

Support allocation of Westwood Heath.
No compelling policy justification for identifying H42 in preference to S1 and indeed there is an acknowledgement from the Council that residential development can be accommodated on S1 without any adverse impact on amenity.
Important to secure delivery of community infrastructure in early phases of development to ensure sustainable development patterns can be established and new residents get access to facilities quickly.
First phase of residential development should be planned and delivered in a way that would facilitate delivery of "Community Hub".
Seeking combined H42 / S1 allocation that could be comprehensively planned and phased.

Site S1 should be identified as allocation of up to 900 dwellings, rather than safeguarded. This and site allocation H42, would enable comprehensive planning of development for c1,500 dwellings in Westwood Heath. Ensure that successful integrated masterplan developed and infrastructure appropriately planned.
Given HS2 and growth pressures south of Coventry, Council could reference this as area for partial Green Belt review, should further 'special circumstances' arise. Review could take place to inform an Action Area Plan for land south of Coventry, the justification for which is set out in our representations to Policy DS20 and Policy DS NEW 1.

Specific set of circumstances exist in the area south of Coventry that could warrant a review of the Local Plan. No other part of the District is under similar pressures or likely to experience such transformational change.
Suggest joint allocation of H42 and S1.
WDC should require an Area Action Plan for wider area south of Coventry rather than partial review of plan.
To establish a "policy hook‟ and to give landowners and developers greater certainly and confidence, the broad area could be referenced in the Local Plan with the exact extent determined through the preparation of the AAP itself.

WDC should require the preparation of an Area Action Plan for the wider area south of Coventry, rather than dealing with it through a partial review.
Broad area could be referenced in Local Plan with exact extent determined through AAP preparation.
AAP would provide specific planning policy and guidance for defined area to specify required land uses in particular locations, identify key strategic interventions.
AAPs have strong delivery/implementation focus, and form statutory component of LDF, enabling them to review Green Belt boundaries, e.g. when further HS2 details known.
Appropriate tool to address development pressures and transformational change south of Coventry
