By contrast, Strategic Growth Areas which circle historic towns provide a collar affecting
both the effectiveness of new development and the pre-existing town. Where they are
separated from the town by major roads, communities become isolated. Major growth
options spread towards existing villages, potentially overwhelming them, and also detract
from investment in new settlements.

Stratford-upon-Avon infrastructure is constrained by the historic layout of the town, in
transport terms, it suffers major congestion. The transport assessment supporting these
sites around the town, generally suggests that increased bus services could be used to
provide connectivity, however in a congested road system, these provide unreliable
journeys and are unlikely to be acceptable by many. Therefore the TTG does not support
these Strategic Growth areas, particularly SG19, which would be remote from any significant
employment options and therefore require trips through the town to access employment
and sustainable transport commuting.
