The town was granted a Royal Charter to hold a weekly market in 1274 and prospered throughout the next centuries. In the 17th Century it became a centre of the needle industry. With its long narrow Burbage plots and tueries (interlinking passageways), the town centre street pattern of today and many of its buildings are medieval. There are a number of heritage assets which includes Scheduled Monuments, Listed Buildings, a Conservation Area and archaeological features within and adjacent to the urban area. The Conservation area’s character is defined by the medieval street pattern, the presence of a wide diversity of buildings with a range of distinguishing features, and the gaps between the buildings which create an intriguing spatial element. The majority of Alcester’s Listed Buildings are located within the Conservation Area, as are parts of the Alcester Roman Town Scheduled Monument.1 Landscape The Landscape Sensitivity Study identifies extensive areas of land adjacent to the town as being of high sensitivity to development.

  • GLH Aspect of the Core Strategy, However, Scant Regard Has Be Paid to Either Legal Requirements Or Moral Strictures
    Land at Gaydon/Lighthorne Heath Supplementary Planning Document Informal consultation on initial draft document February/March 2015 Page 1 Consultation Statement Council response to comments received Item 5 Stratford-on-Avon District Council Appendix 2 August 2015 1.0 - Introduction Consultee Comments Response Timothy Bull - Gaydon Even before I start to read SDC's "new" Core Strategy Comments noted. The SPD cannot be adopted Resident document I feel I must have recorded the fact that I am of ahead of the adoption of the Core Strategy, but given the opinion that both SDC and Bird group, with their separate the Council’s decisions on this matter it is considered (and now differing) proposals, are jumping the gun in inviting reasonable to prepare the document in parallel with residents to view their proposals informally. Surely in the the remaining stages of the Core Strategy process. spirit of the outlines set out by the inspector neither of the two proposals should have been published before his report is issued; throughout the entire process of the generation of the GLH aspect of the Core Strategy, however, scant regard has be paid to either legal requirements or moral strictures. It is also interesting to note that the two proposals have reduced the numbers of houses to be built from the initial 4,800 to 2,000, with an option for more, in Bird's case and 3,000 in SDC's. I can only assume that the rapidity of the appearance of both schemes is an attempt to circumvent any negativity in the Core Strategy, by the inference of an "all or nothing" Page 2 comment in the last paragraph of the email I received from David Nash.
