Policy P5 – Provision of Land for Housing

The draft Plan requirement for 40% affordable housing on major market housing sites only will result in a shortfall in meeting the identified needs. A higher housing requirement could deliver additional affordable dwellings and address the affordability issues in the Borough. There are potential issues around viability for some major allocations, with no evidence that significant infrastructure requirements have been tested with P4A.
The housing requirement should be increased to maximise the contribution towards meeting the affordable need.

Policy P5 is unsound in respect of the housing land supply identified.
Sites identified in land availability assessments and in the brownfield register are not secured via any planning permissions or allocation and are at risk of not coming forward.
There is a substantial reliance on windfall developments which should be justified by evidence taking into account future trends.
Without a detailed site-specific trajectory for the UK Central Hub Area, relating to the delivery of infrastructure and the relocation of existing land uses, it is difficult to determine the delivery timeframe. The Arden Cross proposals are reliant upon significant infrastructure coming forward, which is a risk that should be considered in identifying the need for further flexibility.
No detailed site-specific trajectories for allocated sites are provided. Land assembly and infrastructure issues could potentially impact upon the timing and phasing of delivery.
A stepped requirement for the housing requirement means that should there be delays to the larger site allocations this will exacerbate the shortfall in meeting needs.
Further housing land supply should be identified to provide flexibility to the housing requirement.
Further detail and evidence is required to justify the windfall allowance, the housing trajectory overall and sites specific trajectories should be provided.

Policy KN1 - Hampton Road, Knowle
Representation ID: 13759
Received: 14/12/2020
Respondent: Heyford Developments Ltd
Agent: Barton Willmore
Support the principle of Allocation KN1 given the spatial strategy and sustainability of the settlement. We query whether 180 dwellings could be delivered given the extent of constraints, including heritage and ecology.
The proposed Green Belt boundary does not include the proposed Sports Hub, meaning it would rely on very special circumstances being demonstrated for its delivery. If mitigation is required to offset the loss of pitches, its deliverability should be assessed and agreed at the allocation stage.
The requirement of a financial contribution towards the new all through school of KN2 should tested within the Viability Study as well as the delivery of the Sports Hub.
A full assessment of the Site KN1 obligations and requirements should be undertaken and this should allow for sensitivity testing for a potentially lower number of dwellings given the site’s constraints.

Policy KN2 : South of Knowle (Arden Triangle)
Representation ID: 13760
Received: 14/12/2020
Respondent: Heyford Developments Ltd
Agent: Barton Willmore
Support the principle of the KN2 allocation but have significant concerns that the level of growth identified is not deliverable. The Council should assess the delivery of an all through school through its Viability Study. The site has a number of landowners which could affect assembly and deliverability.
A full assessment of the KN2 availability, obligations and requirements should be undertaken, particularly around the deliverability of the new all through school.

Balsall Common

The level of growth proposed in Balsall Common will require a relief road. There is insufficient evidence around its deliverability, and therefore the deliverability of the large housing allocations that rely on it. The timescales for delivery (2022-2925) appears very optimistic given it relies on a number of landowners. The Viability Study does not specifically mention the relief road, bypass or any additional infrastructure costs for Balsall Common.
The Sustainability Appraisal should be exploring alternative options, including elsewhere in Balsall Common and/or other highly accessible settlements such as Hampton-in-Arden.
The allocations in Balsall Common should be revised to refer to updated, robust evidence around the infrastructure requirements and deliverability; otherwise they should be deleted.

We object to the approach for the new Sports Hubs which are required in five locations across the Borough to deal with replacement/new provision. It is not clear whether the land is available to deliver these hubs, or the cost and timing of when they will be delivered.
The draft Plan should state what mitigation is required and how it can be delivered, with support from the evidence base.

Policy P5 Point 5, which requires all new homes to meet nationally described space standards, is considered unsound. There is no evidence providing justification for this taking full account of need, viability and timing, as required by national planning policy.
The requirement should be removed.

The policy requirements of Policy P9 Points 3 (i), (ii) and (iv) are unsound as they are not justified or effective, particularly in relation to viability considerations. The Policy does not contain sufficient flexibility related to site specific viability or site-specific constraints.
The Policy P9 Points 3 (i), (ii) and (iv) requirements should be removed, or additional clauses should be included within the policy that allow for site specific flexibility in relation to viability and site-specific constraints.

The requirement in Point 8 of Policy P10 goes beyond the guidance in the NPPF in relation to biodiversity net gain. It would be more appropriate to require a net gain and then allow any future legislation to deliver the specific figure.
The requirement in Points 9 and 12 of Policy P10 for net gain to all developments on site may not be achievable on all sites, due to site constraints and/or viability issues for example.
Policy P10 should be amended to require a net gain without specifying a number; and to refer to the potential for off-site improvements to be considered not as a last resort but as part of the most sustainable solution for individual developments.

Policy P21 does not make reference to the Infrastructure Funding Statement to help inform judgements regarding the use of planning obligations and pooling.
National planning policy states that authorities can choose to pool funding from different routes to fund the same infrastructure provided that authorities set out in the infrastructure funding statements which infrastructure they expect to fund through CIL.
Policy P21 should be amended to include a reference to the use of the Infrastructure Funding Statement to inform decision-making on the use of planning obligations, including pooling.
