The new South Warwickshire Local Plan indicates that provision will be made for the delivery of 1,679 dwellings per annum (dpa), with sufficient flexibility to accommodate up to 2,188 dpa. 

​

The Councils have confirmed that South Warwickshire’s housing need will be distributed across Stratford and Warwick through the ‘Sustainable Travel and Economy’ spatial growth strategy. Three ‘priority areas’ for growth are identified.

 

The Site is located in a ‘Strategic Growth Location’, identified as Wellesbourne (reference SG16), a highly suitable location considered by the Councils to be a priority for future development.
