Community Infrastructure Levy Modifications 2017

CIL Modification 3

Representation ID: 70560

Received: 15/06/2017

Respondent: Budbrooke Parish Council

Representation Summary:

Budbrooke Parish Council response to Modifications to the Draft Charging Schedule for the Community Infrastructure Levy.

It is good to know that WDC does indeed feel that Budbrooke is rural in nature and it contains significantly high quality facilities, indeed more so than many rural villages further away from Warwick.
We understand that there could be challenges. However, it appears that if the challenges were successful, it would suggest that WDC had not put up a sufficiently robust argument.

* Budbrooke is Green Belt and was the only green belt site to be allocated the lowest zone A status.
* The Zone A identification (Warwick, East of Leamington and lower value rural) would mean that while classified as the highest standard of rural village with existing facilities and resources and hence the allocation of almost double the number of dwellings than pre modification plans. This is contradictory.
* The impact of 245 new dwellings [an increase of 40%] will take current facilities to breaking point, if not beyond, and current residents will have less CIL to make up for the deficiencies or need for additional facilities.
* Leamington, Whitnash and high value rural quite rightly should include Budbrooke in Zone D or Zone B.
* The A46 is a natural boundary.
* Having the same Zone as Warwick implies that that WDC's stated objective in planning guidance for the Local Plan - that developments in villages should not breach the gap between villages/town - is just hot air and has no value.
* Having such a high standard of resources already in the village developers will be able to market their properties to maximise prices.
* To classify Budbrooke as Zone A was at best a total lack of understanding and knowledge about this parish in comparison to other parishes in Zone B, and at worst an insult.
