South Warwickshire Local Plan

The South Warwickshire Local Plan

Stratford-on-Avon and Warwick District Councils are working together to produce a new South Warwickshire Local Plan to cover our combined geographic area.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to make representations on the SWLP. We have had a huge response and are currently processing the representations with a view to publish summaries shortly.

Work is continuing to enable Stratford-on-Avon and Warwick district councils to submit the SWLP by the December deadline, with the intention that submission is approved by the Joint Cabinet on 10th December and the respective meetings of full Council on 14th December.

The Plan is expected to replace the strategic policies of the existing Stratford-on-Avon Core Strategy and Warwick Local Plan which are soon due for review. The South Warwickshire Local Plan will set out a long-term spatial strategy for housing, jobs, infrastructure and climate change for both Districts.

Both Councils are continuing to work on their other plans and policy documents.

Whilst 'South Warwickshire' is a new concept we believe there is a lot of merit in creating a plan that covers both Stratford-on-Avon and Warwick Districts. Aside from the common history of being within Warwickshire, Stratford-on-Avon District and Warwick District have similar economies, demographics and face common challenges.
