We note that two principal potential strategic employment site locations have been
identified in the South Warwickshire Employment Land Study (2024) which would
meet the strategic need of providing up to 125 ha of employment land. Both of these
sites at least partially border the SRN, with the Land at Red House Farm site for 121
hectares abutting the M40 and the Wedgnock Park Farm site for 141 hectares
bordering the A46.
These large sites would likely have a significant impact on the operation of the SRN
and would need to be supported by a detailed transport evidence base to determine
impacts and potential mitigation requirements. The Draft Policy Direction also
references the proposal for the existing 100 hectare JLR allocation at Gaydon to be
released to the wider market for strategic manufacturing uses and small-scale logistics
and the impact of this proposal would also need to be appropriately assessed to
determine impacts on the nearby M40. It is noted in the document that further work
will be done prior to the next stage of the SWLP to help to determine the sites put
forward for allocation and this is welcomed.
