Coventry & Warwickshire Gateway

COVENTRY & WARWICKSHIRE GATEWAY

Delivering Jobs and Growth

An overview of the application for planning permission made to Warwick District Council and Coventry City Council Autumn 2012 1 2 Preface

The Coventry & Warwickshire Development Partnership LLP was established to promote the development of land adjacent to Coventry Airport for new employment.

It has taken its lead from Government following publication of “The Plan for Growth” and the “National Planning Policy Framework”.

It has welcomed the strong support it has received from the Local Enterprise Partnership.

The fragility of the Country’s economic situation, as it has emerged over the last few years, is articulated very well by the Government and taken forward by the Local Enterprise Partnership.

The Coventry and Warwickshire Gateway scheme is established and the planning application is made within this context.

WHY?

THE PLAN FOR GROWTH

In March 2011, shortly after the Government took Remarkably, “Our share of world exports has fallen Growth means development and Government office, it published its ‘Plan for Growth’, which from 4.4% in 2000 to 2.8% in 2009. Germany’s share recognises that its Plan for Growth is not without set out some disturbing and unpalatable facts of world exports actually rose from 8.5% in 2000 to controversy – “all of it involves choices about regarding the state of the Nation’s economy. 9.0% in 2009. priorities. But the alternative is to accept Britain’s economic decline and falling standards of living The report pulled no punches. Not only do we now export just a third as much as for our population”. Germany, we even lie behind the Netherlands, a It said; “If we do not act now, jobs will be lost, country a third of our size”. As an integral part of “The Plan for Growth”, our country will become poorer and we will find it WHY? Government has introduced a “presumption difficult to afford the public services we all want. As Government has said, “we literally cannot in favour of sustainable development” and it is If we do not wake up to the world around us, our afford to go on like this” and “….we must build a demanding the “opening up of more land for standard of living will fall, not rise”. new model of economic growth – where instead development”. of borrowing from the rest of the world, we invest, The Plan for Growth supported this contention and we save and we export”. Since March 2011, Government has set “clear with hard facts: expectations that local planning authorities and “Far reaching changes are needed to make our other bodies involved in granting development “In the World Economic Forum’s Global economy more competitive.

THE NATIONAL PLANNING POLICY FRAMEWORK

The NPPF formally introduces the concept These roles are mutually dependent, but the NPPF of a presumption in favour of sustainable makes it clear that sustainable development development. includes “making it easier for jobs to be created in cities, towns and villages”. In this regard, “sustainable means ensuring that better lives for ourselves don’t mean worse lives The NPPF requires local planning authorities for future generations”; and “development means to “proactively drive and support sustainable growth”. economic development to deliver the homes, business and industrial units, infrastructure and This uncompromising, unequivocal focus on thriving local places that the country needs growth follows the lead set by The Plan for Growth, to respond positively to wider opportunities for a year ago. growth”.

There are three dimensions to sustainable The NPPF reiterates that the Government is development; committed to securing economic growth in order to create jobs and prosperity and to ensuring that • An economic role, ensuring sufficient land of the planning system does everything it can to the right type is available in the right place, at support sustainable economic growth. the right time, to support growth; Importantly local planning authorities are required • A social role, supporting strong, vibrant and to identify strategic sites for local and inward healthy communities; investment to meet anticipated needs.

Warwickshire Local Enterprise Partnership

15 16 3 WHERE...?

Land north of the A45 (Whitley Business Park) already has planning permission but its development has stalled (in part) because of inadequate access. The Gateway scheme overcomes that difficulty and provides Jaguar’s World Head Quarters with an entrance it merits and needs. South of the A45 the proposal utilises ‘brownfield’, substantially contaminated (former) Sewage Disposal Works to provide manufacturing and logistics space in addition to a high profile Technology Park with an emphasis on automotive, aeronautical and digital businesses. It acknowledges the proximity of two villages and aims to mitigate impacts, especially through careful highway planning.

17 COVENTRY AND WARWICKSHIRE GATEWAY

The site occupies an urban edge location and is strongly influenced by existing uses, including Middlemarch and Stonebridge Business Parks, Coventry Airport and the A45/A46. The site comprises a mix of existing developed and despoiled areas, farmland and other undeveloped Jaguar areas.

Whitley Business Park The expansive boundary of the proposed application reflects the need to marry land use Stonebridge and transportation proposals.

It also allows landscaping work to be done to improve and restore the legacy of previous, Coventry Airport uncontrolled landfill operations.

The scale of this particular problem is not obvious Middlemarch to casual observation but dealing with matters of serious contamination is undoubtedly of significant environmental benefit.

Traffic congestion along the A46/A45 can cause serious peak time queuing. This is environmentally, socially and economically unacceptable and it is a situation which no doubt is stifling investment in the region.

Investment will exceed £250m, with the delivery of up to 10,000 jobs, intended to be primarily in automotive, aeronautical and digital technologies as well as manufacturing and logistics.

Up to an additional 4,000 jobs could now be more readily provided in the Whitley Business Park as a direct result of the Gateway strategic highway works.

The Development Framework Plan

22 COVENTRY AND WARWICKSHIRE GATEWAY £250 million investment Up to 14,000 jobs

The economy in the UK is falling behind that of its competitors and the Government has said that “... we must build a new model of economic growth - where instead of borrowing from the rest of the world, we invest, and we save and we export.”

The Coventry and Warwickshire Gateway Scheme is proposed as part of this strategy for growth and its £250 million investment will help to create up to 14,000 jobs on land to the north and south of Coventry Airport. It responds to the Government’s demands that “Local planning authorities and other bodies involved in granting development consents should prioritise growth and jobs.”

The scheme is for the comprehensive redevelopment of land to the north and south of the A45 and to the north, west and south of Coventry Airport. KEY The proposal involves the remediation and re- use of significant areas of contamination and the creation of extensive areas of publicly accessible green space. Indeed, as a result of the proposal there will only be a small reduction in the net amount of previously unused green space: on land to the south of the A45 there will be a net reduction of about 16ha or 7% of the site area. Currently about 45% is either in built use or is previous landfill or sewage works. Proposed Land Use Plan

23 24 5 WHEN...?

A major public sector investment by the Highways Agency will start in earnest in April 2013.

This will ‘grade separate’ the Toll Bar junction and improve traffic flows through it.

The Gateway highway works will, however, benefit the strategic road network still further and a similar start date would allow this to happen.

25 COVENTRY AND WARWICKSHIRE GATEWAY

Extensive consultation with statutory bodies, groups and organisations has been ongoing for some time.

More than 25 presentations of the proposals have been given at various stages of the evolution of the plans.

Exhibitions and explanation of the proposals have taken place at Baginton, Whitley and Bubbenhall during June and again in July.

Various Coventry Ward Forum meetings have been attended to supplement the exhibitions.

An assessment of the responses from all consultees has been made before finalising the components of the planning application. Changes have been made, where possible, to accommodate local issues and concerns, particularly with regard to highway matters at Baginton and around the Cheylesmore Ward of the City.

An extension and reinforcement of the perimeter mounding and planting was also introduced.

The Environmental Statement, submitted with the application, addresses all the relevant technical issues and explains how potential impacts will be mitigated.

Illustrative Masterplan

26 COVENTRY AND WARWICKSHIRE GATEWAY

A consideration of the application by the Local Planning Authorities is expected in December and, if they are minded to grant planning permission then it will be referred to the Secretary of State (as a Departure from the Development Plan) whose decision will be either to allow the planning permission to be issued locally or to call the application in for a Public Inquiry. ZONE B: UP TO 10,000 SQ M COULD BE OCCUPIED IN 2014, BEFORE TOLL BAR However, for the scheme to proceed in line with the Highways WORKS COMPLETED Agency’s investment, a start on site will be essential in April 2013, necessitating a commitment from Government earlier in the new year.

If this commitment is not given, then there are 2 consequences:

(i) New roads built by the Highways Agency would have to be, in part, dug up at a later date to accommodate The Gateway infrastructure;

(ii) The Gateway development would not be allowed to ‘interfere’ with Highways Agency construction work for at least 3 years, so implementation would at best be delayed for that period.

Phasing Plan

27 COVENTRY AND WARWICKSHIRE GATEWAY

DEVELOPMENT TIMELINE

The construction and job creation programme is set out, assuming a favourable decision in the Spring of next year.

The infrastructure works - including restoration and cleaning of despoiled land; construction of new highways; creation of development plots and formulation of the landscape framework will take place between 2013 and 2016.

First buildings, on the Technology Park, could be available in 2014, with development progressing over the next 10 years.

Great care is being taken to acknowledge and respect the Green Belt status of the land. Whilst much of it is previously-used and contaminated, an extensive landscaped perimeter will aim substantially to screen the development from outside view; to create new habitat for flora and fauna; to offer opportunities for casual or formal recreation and to help to provide a high quality, environmentally sensitive development.
