Raises concerns that GBHMA Strategic Growth Study and Strategic Housing & Employment Land Availability Assessment aren’t included in evidence base.

The GBHMA Strategic Growth Study remains the latest comprehensive consideration of housing needs and locations to meet this need. It has been subject to scrutiny through the North Warwickshire Local Plan EiP and provides justification for the intended contribution of 4,000 homes to meet the identified housing shortfall. The SHELAA establishes a broad range of site options to be tested by the Council in establishing housing and employment allocations. The Self & Custom Build Register should be included to inform emerging housing need and mix policies.

The Nature Recovery Network mapping incorrectly identifies Site 136/136a as an area of high habitat distinctiveness, which is contradicted by site surveys showing semi-improved grassland on the site. Transport statement site SAD Site 136 indicates junction on Landywood Lane can comfortably accommodate up to 200 dwellings. Highways comments for Site 136a should be revisited to reflect the opportunity for sustainable trips.
