  • 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.

  • Wilmcote Neighbourhood Plan
    WILMCOTE NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN 1. Introduction. 1.1 David Holmes Planning Ltd has been instructed to advise Wilmcote Parish Council, who wish to prepare a Neighbourhood Plan. In particular we are asked to advise about potential housing sites, which may be preferred by the community, and to assess their genuine availability in planning terms. 1.2 The total number of units involved is 50 to 75 but bearing in mind that some 11 can be treated as commitments the task is to identify land for 39 to 64 units. 1.3 We firstly consider the implications of the entire parish being in the Green Belt and then we consider landscape issues. We then look at the sites, which have emerged so far through community consultations and other sources, and advise as to their likely acceptability in planning terms. These sites have been numbered 1 to 19 (see Plan A) plus four at Pathlow, some 1.5km from the village centre. A two stage site selection process has been followed (refer to paragraphs 4.3, 4.4 and 5.1 to 5.5 below) and the “filtered” sites are enumerated on Plan B. 2. Green Belt: Implications for Wilmcote Parish Council’s preparation of a Neighbourhood Plan. 2.1 The entire parish area of Wilmcote and Pathlow is “washed over” with Green Belt designation. The national policy with regard to Green Belts is set out in the National Planning Policy Framework published in March 2012 (the NPPF). The policy is, essentially: WILMCOTE NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN Page 1 of 15 “…. To prevent urban sprawl by keeping land permanently open; its essential characteristics are openness and permanence.” Once defined Green Belts are intended to be permanent and only to be altered in exceptional circumstances through the preparation or review of a Local Plan.

  • 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.
