The South Warwickshire Local Plan Preferred Options (Regulation 18) consultation ended on 7 March 2025.

The summaries of the representations have now been published following the Preferred Options consultation. These comments are available to view within the online consultation portal. Instructions on how to view these representations are available on the first page when opening this link.

Please note there are a small number of representations submitted to the online portal where a summary of the full submission has not been provided. These are being processed and will be added as soon as we are able. We will update all submitters that the rep summaries are available to view once this additional work is complete.

The delay in publishing these summaries was due to the sheer volume of representations that had to be checked before publishing them on the website. We will now start work on preparing a Consultation Statement that will be published on the website later this year. The use of AI in supporting the preparation of the consultation statement is currently being investigated. Once investigations are completed the use of AI will be clarified on this web page.

Preferred Options Consultation Statistics

In addition to the representation summaries, a statistical breakdown of the responses for each Draft Policy, Draft Policy Direction, Strategic Growth Location and Potential New Settlement is provided via the link below.
