On 15 July 2019 the District Council endorsed the Site Allocations Plan for statutory consultation in accordance with the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations.

Stratford-On-Avon District Council is now consulting on the Site Allocations Plan. This review will provide a map of likely locations for future growth and any changes to previous consultations and update development management policies. The consultation of the Local Plan commenced on Thursday 8 August and ends at 5.00pm on Friday 20 September 2019.

The Councils’ evidence suggests that there is a need for approximately 14,600 new homes across the area from 2011-2031. New homes are required to effectively meet the needs of the District’s existing and future population. At least an additional 35 hectares of employment land will be provided to meet the District’s requirements, together with 19 hectares to meet the needs of Redditch.

Clients are advised to contact us as soon as possible if you have land proposed to be allocated in the plan, or you would like us to consider representing land not currently included in the Local Plan.  We can also prepare representations regarding the other draft policies for the detailed development management policies on a range of issues from environment, housing, employment to Traveller accommodation needs.

For further information please contact Leanne Whiteman at Leanne@sfplanning.co.uk.  You can also download a copy of the draft plan here.
