Q-I4.1: Should we include a policy to safeguard specific infrastructure schemes within the SWLP?

Yes

Q-I4.2: Please add any comments you wish to make about these specific safeguarding provisions

There are several examples of road improvements specific to Stratford-upon-Avon included within the consultation documentation, e.g. A46 Improvements. Though the exact schemes which should be safeguarded would be subject to a later consultation for the plan, the principal of doing so is supported by the Town Council.

Q-S10: Please add any comments you wish to make about the development distribution strategy for South Warwickshire

Long Marston Airfield / Meon Vale is identified as a potential new settlement. There is already outline planning permission for the development of a significant amount of housing in this area contingent on highway upgrades to mitigate the impact of this development to the traffic congestion in Stratford-upon-Avon. Thus far, no infrastructure suitable to mitigate increased congestion has been consented, let alone delivered. Any development of this area as a new settlement needs to address its impact concerning congestion in Stratford-upon-Avon with suitable mitigation before any proposed development can take place. The current Green Belt boundaries are impacting on the development of Stratford-upon-Avon. As Green Belt is not located to the west, south and east of the town, recent housing developments have been primarily focused in these area, save for development in the north which now meets with the current Green Belt boundary. Developments in the south and east in particular are having an impact on congestion leading to the town centre from these area, which are served by only two existing road crossings of the Rive Avon. The Town Council supports the proposed review of the Greenbelt boundary if changes can result in sustainable locations for development which do not impact on the five purposes of the Green Belt and also do not add further to traffic congestion issues in the town.
