CEG Land Promotion I (UK) Limited (hereafter “CEG”) and Dr D Brightman, control land east of the M40, Junction 12 (“the site”). The site has been previously promoted and submitted to the Call for Sites exercise as part of Site 759. Representations were also made to:
• South Warwickshire Local Plan Scoping and Call for Sites consultation in June 2021; and
• South Warwickshire Local Plan Issues and Options consultation in March 2023.
The site comprises 18.6 hectares is located off Junction 12 of the M40 and is considered to be an appropriate location for a major employment development. The site has the potential to deliver a range of commercial floorspace including medium to large industrial/warehouses, medium size local business park and small enterprise park, as well as roadside focuses and general retail/drive thru uses.
As set out these representations, there is significant demand and immediate need for B2 and B8 floorspace within Stratford-on-Avon District which is unlikely to be met in the short-term through either existing commitments or the local plan process. The Proposed Development, in scale and locational terms, will help to meet this demand as well as supporting the 3,000 dwelling Upper Lighthorne community, improving sustainability within the area by providing a range of local employment opportunities. This flexible proposal will both build on the strengths of the existing automotive cluster in the District related to Jaguar Land Rover and Aston Martin Lagonda by providing flexible space appropriate for related activities and business start-ups (Class E(g)(ii & iii) and B2 uses) whilst also providing space for B8 logistics, helping to realise the economic potential of the M40 corridor.
These representations are made specifically in the context of CEG interest in the site, which forms part of the identified site within the plan known as SG14. SG14 is listed in Chapter 4 of the SWLP as a Strategic Growth Location and is therefore considered within the Interim Sustainability Appraisal supporting the SWLP Preferred Options Consultation. Therefore this representation focuses on matters that are relevant to the spatial strategy of the Plan and the options proposed for the future growth of South Warwickshire.
Accompanying this representation is a red line boundary outlines CEG’s land interests in red.
The representations follow the structure of the Regulation 18 Preferred Options consultation document, providing responses under the topics and questions identified, as relevant.
