An informal consultation on the scope and content of the Gaydon and Lighthorne Heath (GLH) Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) starts today.
Stratford-on-Avon District Council's Submission Core Strategy sets out the policy basis for the development of a new settlement at Gaydon and Lighthorne Heath that will incorporate up to 3,000 new homes and a substantial expansion of Jaguar Land Rover's operations
The SPD takes the form of a Framework Masterplan to guide developers and the local planning authority in respect of environmental, social, design and economic objectives as they seek to create a new community at Gaydon and Lighthorne Heath.
The draft SPD looks at:
This informal consultation is part of the 'Involve and Engagement' stage of the SPD preparation. It is designed to ensure the wider engagement of local communities and stakeholders in the preparation of the SPD. Comments are invited on any aspect of the SPD.
The consultation will run from Monday 16 February to 5pm on Monday 30 March 2015.
The consultation document can be viewed on the District Council's website www.stratford.gov.uk/glh-spd. It is also available to inspect at the District Council offices in Stratford-upon-Avon.
Responses can be made:
The comments on the inclusion of Proposal GLH in the Core Strategy, or on alternative sites, are not sought at this time.
The views expressed in the consultation will be reported back to The Cabinet and appropriate changes to the draft document will be made.
Further progress will depend on Proposal GLH being confirmed in the Core Strategy. The Examination hearings into the Core Strategy finished at the end of January 2015 and the Inspector's Report is awaited.
The SPD can only be adopted if the Core Strategy is adopted with Proposal GLH included. If this is the case, a second more formal period of consultation will then take place, as required by the Development Plan Regulations. The amended draft SPD will also have an accompanying Sustainability Appraisal and Consultation Statement.
