SG18, adjacent to Stratford-upon-Avon, is proposed for development due to insufficient brownfield land. Its location supports sustainable travel, economic growth, and community integration. Proximity to Stratford enables efficient infrastructure extension. Green belt release is justified by housing needs, high prices, and in-migration. Existing road networks offer connectivity, but traffic and public transport require consideration. Redeveloping Langley Farm is favoured over greenfield development, minimising environmental impact by reducing land take, habitat disruption, resource consumption, and carbon footprint. It also offers opportunities for urban regeneration and contamination remediation.

Expanding Stratford-upon-Avon east/southeast (SG19) faces challenges. It may misalign with Priority 1 objectives, being less of a direct extension. Weaker infrastructure may increase car dependency and traffic congestion, particularly near the River Avon. Potential separation risks creating a competing centre, weakening economic synergies. The greenfield landscape is sensitive, with flood risks, wildlife sites, and heritage concerns. Development could feel detached, requiring service duplication. In summary, SG19 presents strategic, transport, economic, environmental, and social integration hurdles.

Langley Farm, owned by Stephen Proctor, is a 11.51-hectare brownfield site northwest of Stratford-upon-Avon. It is designated HELAA site 408 and is considered for SG18 in the South Warwickshire Local Plan, despite being in the Green Belt. A masterplan proposes mixed commercial and residential development. This includes doubling commercial space, providing parking, building 199 houses, strategic landscaping, site access, and open space with sustainable drainage. Existing trees are retained, and non-native conifers will be removed to enhance biodiversity.

New towns offer planned development and self-contained communities, but face high costs, potential isolation, environmental impact, and slow community building. They contradict the NPPF's sequential development approach, which prioritizes brownfield, densification, and urban extensions before greenfield sites. Justifying a new town requires strong evidence that other options are insufficient.
