Royal Leamington Spa Neighbourhood Development Plan
RLS3 - Conservation Areas
Representation ID: 71569
Received: 10/02/2020
Respondent: Canal & River Trust
The canal network through Warwick District has recently been designated as a conservation area, affording an additional layer of protection to the canal through the Plan area as a heritage asset. Criteria f), n) and o) all specifically reference the importance of planning applications considering the canal and how its character and setting could be affected by new development proposals and we support the inclusion of these criteria which should help to reinforce the protection currently provided through the policies of the adopted Warwick District Local Plan and through the conservation area status of the canal.

RLS16 - Canal and Riverside Development
Representation ID: 71570
Received: 10/02/2020
Respondent: Canal & River Trust
The Trust supports the overall approach set out in the policy and the criteria identified within it. These criteria recognise the multi-functional nature of the canal and towpath and the range of roles it can play in contributing towards regeneration initiatives, leisure, recreation and tourism, heritage, biodiversity and health and well-being. We therefore welcome the clear and explicit support set out within Policy RLS16 for requiring new development to have full regard to the canal and the roles it can play.
