A locally specific CO2 reduction requirement is unnecessary and without justification for deviation from Government emerging Future Homes standards to be considered through building regulations.

This representation relates to Land adjoining Saredon Road which is a proposed allocation for a minimum of 60 dwellings. This is supported as ‘sound’ by Cameron Homes who have an interest in this land outside the current
sawmill site.
Cameron Homes considers that the identified yield of 60 dwellings
underestimates the likely capacity of the site, having regard to the proposed
policies in respect of housing density and mix. It is however recognised that the yield is expressed as a minimum requirement. The Sketch Layout attached at Appendix 1 demonstrates a scheme of approximately 59 dwellings can be delivered on land that includes the remnant of the existing Local Plan allocation to the south of Site 119a; excluding the sawmill site that relates to the
remainder of the proposed allocation.

The Publication Plan is supported by a broad range of evidence documents to be relied upon by the Council in formulating the Local Plan. Cameron Homes supports the identification of the Greater Birmingham HMA Growth Study (2018) and the SHELAA which were absent in the Preferred Options document.

The Greater Birmingham HMA Strategic Growth Study remains the latest comprehensive consideration of housing needs across the Greater Birmingham
and Black Country HMA and provides a range of recommended options for meeting these needs, to be tested through individual LPA Local Plan reviews.
This evidence has been subject to scrutiny as supporting evidence at the North Warwickshire Local Plan EiP and provides justification for the Council’s intended contribution of 4,000 homes to assist in meeting the identified housing shortfall.

The Vision is clear and succinct, however as presently drafted it doesn’t appear locally relevant and contains no spatially specific elements.

Cameron Homes supports the strategic objectives identified. These are considered succinct, locally relevant and relate to the most important areas of change or protection within the District.

Cameron Homes supports the proposed spatial strategy to 2039 which recognises environmental capacity and seeks to make best use of existing infrastructure whilst recognising opportunities to delivery new infrastructure.
Cheslyn Hay/Great Wyrley achieved one of the highest services/facilities rankings of all villages within the District and Cameron Homes supports the identification of Cheslyn Hay/Great Wyrley as a Tier 1 settlement and, as such, a sustainable location for housing growth.
Cameron Homes would however wish to reiterate concerns that Cheslyn Hay/Great Wyrley are afforded far less growth than the two other Tier 1 settlements which appears unbalanced.

Cameron Homes notes Policy DS6, which recognises the Council’s aspiration to explore the potential for a sustainable, independent new settlement.

Policy DS6 recognises that such an option would not contribute to housing growth during the proposed plan period to 2039 which is agreed. A new settlement proposal, even if a suitable and viable option were to be identified, would take a long time to masterplan and facilitate and would need to be delivered alongside infrastructure on a scale much larger than a usual
development.

Cameron Homes notes the identification of four strategic housing allocations and the included housing trajectory at Appendix H of the Publication Plan.
Cameron Homes considers a more detailed housing trajectory should be included to ensure the reliance on these strategic sites does not undermine the timely delivery of housing against a non-stepped trajectory, recognising the assumed reduction in completions to 2026.
