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.

The Regulation 19 consultation version of the South Warwickshire Local Plan has now been approved by both Councils. Statutory consultation on the Regulation 19 Plan will run for 7 weeks from Tuesday 21st July until Tuesday 8th September.

The Regulation 19 consultation version was previously published as part of the agenda papers for Joint Committee on Tuesday 14th July 2026 and can be viewed on the Stratford-on-Avon District Council and the Warwick District Council websites.

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.
