To meet the identified housing target, we strongly support the Council’s suggestion that it will consider, “the need for the SWLP to identify a number of small sites in order to ensure provision of a 5-year housing land supply…”.
The Site South of Alcester Road (HELAA Site Ref 492 and 827) is located in Stratford-upon-Avon which is a priority area for growth across the two districts. Part of the site falls within a Priority Area 1 and the remainder falls
within a Priority Area 2. Allocating the site would therefore meet the Spatial Growth Strategy, in particular it would mean locating new housing at a location within reach of existing facilities and allows for small-scale growth at a sustainable location. There is a regular bus service along Alcester Road next to the site, which would allow future residents to access Stratford-upon-Avon and other towns via sustainable forms of transport. The site is also in cycling and walking distance of existing facilities in the town centre.
Crucially, this site has already been assessed and deemed suitable for development as part of the draft Stratford Site Allocations Plan.
Consequently, given the increased housing need discussed above, this emerging Plan should allocate this site.
