    Appendix 1 Tewkesbury Borough Council Planning Application Consultation Response Application No: 18/00771/OUT Address: Land East Of Bredon Road Off Tewkesbury Road Bredons Hardwick (Wychavon District) Proposal: Development of approximately 500 residential dwellings (C3 Use Class) including means of access (two vehicular access points from the B4080 and a pedestrian/cycle access from Derwent Drive) and associated infrastructure and landscaping including provision of formal and informal open space and drainage attenuation basins. South Worcestershire Development Plan The South Worcestershire Development Plan (SWDP) was adopted in February 2016. Policy SWDP 2 - Development Strategy and Settlement Hierarchy sets out the spatial strategy for meeting growth in the SWDP area. In addition, Point I of the policy sets out that: “As required by the Duty to Cooperate, due consideration will be given, including through a review of the SWDP where appropriate, to the housing needs of other local planning authorities(6) in circumstances when it has been clearly established through the local plan process that those needs must be met through provision in the SWDP area.” Footnote 6 which accompanies the policy then goes on to state that: “Cheltenham Borough, Gloucester City and Tewkesbury Borough Councils are preparing a Joint Core Strategy (JCS). Land at Mitton (Wychavon District) and the Mythe (Malvern Hills District) were not included as strategic allocations in the Submission Version of the JCS (November 2014). The South Worcestershire Councils will, however, continue to monitor progress on the examination of the JCS.” This policy was prepared and adopted prior to the completion of the JCS examination and as such at the time of writing the site at Mitton to meet the needs in the JCS area (in particular Tewkesbury Borough) had not yet then been established by the JCS Inspector, through the Interim Report (May 2016), as having “the capacity and potential to contribute to meeting Tewkesbury’s needs”.
