This Study was published in 2009 and has been updated in mid 2012, in line with progress on the Council’s emerging Bromsgrove District Plan. The study and this update has been carried out in accordance with the following three stage process as advocated in good practice advice issued on behalf of the CLG: Stage 1: Taking stock of the existing employment land situation; Stage 2: Creating a picture of future requirements; and Stage 3: Identifying a new portfolio of sites. For the purposes of this review, the District has been divided into 4 sub-areas, as illustrated on the plan below: 1 Bromsgrove District Employment Land Review Stage 1: The Existing Employment Land Situation Gross employment land supply within Bromsgrove District equates to just over 47 hectares. This figure includes Areas of Development Restraint (several of which now have planning permission for development or are at the pre-application stage) and existing commitments at Ravensbank Business Park (which are intended to meet the employment development needs of Redditch) and Longbridge (which is related to the Birmingham area).

  • Stratford Upon Avon Parkway Station Prospectus
    STATIONS AS PLACES Opportunity Prospectus Integration, Community and Delivery: A Masterplan for Stratford-upon-Avon Parkway station STRATFORD-UPON-AVON PARKWAY STATION May 2020 FOREWORD Introducing the concept of Stations as Places The Stations as Places (SAP) programme is a process to help put railway stations at the heart of local communities. It is designed to create a vision for the future and to identify opportunities for delivering improvements to the local environment and create a welcoming ambience. The aim is to work in partnership with others to unlock potential and to meet shared objectives and aspirations. Railway stations are more than access points to the rail network; they can be hubs of activity that are rooted in the locality with the potential to support regeneration and development opportunities. They can also host community and business activities and offer facilities/infrastructure to encourage sustainable, multi modal travel with a view to reducing car dependency and improving local air quality. The Vision “We will develop stations as quality gateways between communities and the railway, supporting the changing needs of our passengers, residents and visitors. Stations in the West Midlands will be community assets, supporting the wellbeing and development of the areas they serve through involving local community and business.” West Midlands Station Alliance (WMSA) Mission Statement What does the prospectus do for Stratford-upon-Avon Parkway Station? There is an important role for the railways to play in both the economic and social regeneration of the local areas which our stations serve. This Opportunity Prospectus sets out the economic, social and geographic landscape of the area around our station and highlights some of the opportunities for commercial development, partnership working, inward investment and community regeneration.

  • Cross-Boundary Growth of Redditch Borough
    Housing Growth Background Document January 2013 Introduction Bromsgrove District Council and Redditch Borough Council jointly consulted on cross boundary growth options in 2010. Since then changes to the planning system have meant that both Councils need to work together to find a solution to meet the growth needs of Redditch which cannot all be sustainably accommodated within the Borough. The Councils have agreed to work together to find land within Bromsgrove District, in the vicinity of Redditch Borough, to sustainably accommodate this additional housing growth. This is a non-technical document that has been written to explain how a location has been identified by officers of both authorities to meet this cross-boundary growth. For this reason, technical information is not included but cross-referenced or results summarised in the relevant paragraphs. This document is structured to reflect the process of site selection and the following provides a summary of what each chapter will cover: Chapter Summary 1. Background To explain why cross boundary growth is necessary and how the growth requirements have been determined. This will cover the legislation, planning policies and evidence documents that are relevant to this cross boundary growth issue. 2. Strategic Objectives To identify the Strategic Objectives which site(s) will need to contribute to. 3. Methodology To explain how the site selection process was carried out and the sources of information. 4. Area Assessment Principles To identify the principles that will be used in the area assessment process. 5. Broad Area Appraisal To identify broad area(s) that are more appropriate for accommodating the development in accordance with relevant criteria.

  • ANNEX 4A – Email Responses
    1 ANNEX 4a – Email Responses RESPONDENT VIEW COMMENTS Key Stakeholders/Groups I accept this junction has been closed for a number of weeks due to road maintenance, however any longer- term proposal to restrict vehicular traffic is NOT supported. 1. Emergency response times for ALL Emergency services to this area will increase and detrimental to public Thames Valley Police Object safety. 2. Walton Street is currently a defined Diversion route for Blue light services and other vehicles during closures of St Giles. Alternative Diversions much longer and detrimental in terms of Emergency response to North Oxford. Can see this would be beneficial to the residents of Walton street, I do have some concerns regarding Emergency access. Since the current closure has been in place, we have attended quite a few minor incidents, and the only Fire & Rescue Service, access has been via St Giles and little clarendon street or St Margret’s road for the Hydraulic Platform (due (Rewley Road & Slade Concerns to the size and amount of swing on the vehicle) Park White Watch) Whilst I am not opposed to a temporary traffic closure trial myself, I would personally like the ability to access via a transponder and a bollard or some other mechanism that we could breach? Obviously, a sign would do the same, but would state only emergency vehicles have access. During the current road closures on Walton Street, our appliances have been significantly delayed in attending properties down Walton Street and the surrounding side roads/Port Meadow because of high traffic levels, tight roads for the diversion and the length of time it takes us to get to suitable diversion routes that are listed in the consultation map.
