Asiant : Nexus Planning

CEG Land Promotion III (UK) Limited (hereafter “CEG”) and Mixed Farms, control land on the south-eastern edge
of Stratford-upon-Avon (“the site”). The site has been previously promoted and submitted to the Call for Sites
exercise and is identified within the South Warwickshire Local Plan Preferred Options Consultation (“SWLP”)
within Strategic Growth Location SG19 – East of Stratford-upon-Avon. 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 102 hectares of land on the south-eastern edge of Stratford-upon-Avon. It is an appropriate
location for a major residential-led mixed use development, with potential for an initial short-term phase
(included as a Reserve Site in the Revised Preferred Options Consultation of the Stratford-upon-Avon Site
Allocations Plan – ref: STR.D (SAP)) that could be delivered early within the Plan period, without prejudicing wider
growth of this strategic opportunity. CEG and Mixed Farms’ element of SG19 can deliver development
comprising:
 Circa 1,200 market and affordable dwellings;
 Significant community infrastructure provision including a neighbourhood centre, primary school, sports
pitches, public parkland and biodiversity parkland;
 A genuinely landscape-led approach that mitigates any impact on the Alverston Hill vantage point and
important views;
 A substantial network of green infrastructure with green corridors that will provide opportunities for
sustainable travel and recreation. This will build upon a local neighbourhood concept;
 New movement corridors to help address existing traffic and associated environmental issues within
Stratford-upon-Avon itself and create strong, direct links with the economic growth aspirations at
Wellesbourne as identified within the SWLP and demonstrated through the recently submitted planning
applications as detailed above;
 Avoiding residential development within the safeguarded zone of the high-pressure gas pipeline; and
 Strong connectivity to Stratford-Upon-Avon through improved linkages along Banbury Road.
These representations are made specifically in the context of CEG and Mixed Farms’ interest in land identified by
the Plan as SG19, which is listed in Chapter 4 of the SWLP as a Strategic Growth Location and is therefore
considered within the Interim Sustainability Appraisal (the “Interim SA”) supporting the SWLP Preferred Options
Consultation. CEG and Mixed Farms’ representations concentrate on matters that are relevant to the spatial
strategy of the Plan and the options proposed for future growth of South Warwickshire.
The representations follow the structure of the Regulation 18 Preferred Options consultation document, providing
responses under the topics and questions identified, as relevant.
