Site 43 Old Lodge Farm, Kenilworth Road should be allocated for housing with a new policy. Mitigation for environmental noise from the A452, Relief Road and West Coast mainline will be required to accord with guidance in the NPPF/Noise Policy for England. Provision should be made for a play area, as the nearest existing sites are the other side of the Relief Road, as well as enhancement of Lavender Hall Park. Enhancement of the public right of way network is required, including a new walking/cycling route to the wider network and Berkswell C of E school
A new policy “BC7 – Old Lodge Farm”, should be created with the following wording
1. The site is allocated for 40 dwellings
2. Homes built on this site in areas which are affected by environmental noise as defined by British Standard 8233:2014 (Guidance on sound insulation and noise reduction for buildings) or its successor standard should be constructed to meet the requirements of that standard or its successors.
3. Likely infrastructure requirements will include
3.1. Provision of public open space, including a doorstep play area, with a contribution to Lavender Hall Park
3.2. Enhancement of the public right of way network, including new walking and cycling route connecting to the wider network and Berkswell School
