Evidence in App A generally considered comprehensive but GBHMA Strategic Growth Study, SHELAA and self build register should also be included. Support scoring in the SA for the site 'Land East of School Lane'.

Generally supportive of the vision but should be more spatially specific to support the development proposals. The draft policies and policy directions will help deliver the vision.

Policy should make clear that the forms of
development in NPPF para 150 are also an exception which can be permitted without the need for very special circumstances. Green Belt/Open Countryside SPD must align with national and local policy.

Generally support proposed spatial strategy. The Rural Services and Facilities Audit clearly supports Coven as a Tier 3 settlement.

Site 082 is proposed to be allocated for a minimum of 48 dwellings which is supported, Indicative layout shows how site could be connected to existing footpath on School Lane. Site is well contained and offers a logical extension to the village., is well shaped and offers good permeability. Site is of low risk of flooding. Site not subject to any overriding constraints that would preclude development.

Policy HC1 - wording not sufficiently clear or flexible. Not clear if applications need to strictly accord with the SHMA. Requirement for 75% of homes to be less than 4 beds not flexible enough as evidence/viability may justify a different mix. Policy HC2 - blanket approach to density unlikely to be effective. Policy HC3 - term 'major residential development' should be defined. Policy should allow for clusters of 6-8 dwellings on medium sized sites. Reference to not supporting grant funding for Affordable housing coming through S106 should be removed. Policy HC4 - not clear if this policy requiring 10% bungalows. Not clear how the 30% requirement for M4(2) is evidenced/justified. Not appropriate to require 10% bungalows and M4(2). HC11 -requirement that all homes meet NDSS not supported as not currently evidenced/justified. If introduced will need to be some flexibility in the policy. Policy HC17 - the default requirement for on site play or the requirement for centrally located open space on all sites is not supported. The exclusion of small incidental green infrastructure (GI) without a clear recreational purpose from on-site open space provision is not supported. Policy HC18 - sports facilities standards should be defined in the policy itself.

Policy HC7 -approach of agreeing self build on a site by site basis having regard to the register, with greater emphasis on strategic sites, is supported; however should allow for plots to come forward for market housing if there is a lack of demand (after 12 months of marketing). Policy HC9 - aspiration of improving design requirements is supported, but requirement for on street trees will needs to be subject to agreement from the highways authority. Policy HC11 - continuing existing approach to external space standards generally supported, but properties built to M4(2) may require smaller gardens. Policy HC12 - approach to parking standards supported. Policy HC14 - approach on health infrastructure generally supported. Policy HC15 - approach to education infrastructure generally supported.Policy EC9 - policy on infrastructure broadly supported. Policy NB3 - approach to Cannock Chase SAC and mitigation measures should be informed by emerging evidence. The aspirations of this policy to reduce carbon emissions is generally
supported. Policy NB6 - should set out threshold at which developments are required to submit an energy statement.

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.

The IDP identifies the correct infrastructure projects to support the proposed spatial strategy and may be updated to include site specific infrastructure requirements. Land at Saredon Road and Landywood Lane can deliver the policy requirements set out in the Local Plan Review.
