IM Properties Development Ltd (IMP) supports the identification of SG18 ‘West of
Stratford-upon-Avon Group’ as 1 of 24 strategic growth locations as outlined in Table 5
of the Preferred Options Paper.
The identification of SG18 aligns with the spatial growth priority areas and emerging
growth strategy options as illustrated at Figure 5 and Figure 6 of the Preferred Options
Paper.
Section 4.1 of the Preferred Options Paper outlines the purpose of the Strategic Growth
Locations which “sets out in broad terms the locations to which large scale and strategic
growth should be directed; and conversely, those areas in which growth should be more
controlled”.
By virtue of IMP’s interests at Stratford 46 - which is subject to a hybrid planning
permission (Ref: 19/01402/OUT) and is allocated under the reference Proposal SUA.2 in
the Stratford-on-Avon Core Strategy, and it is a draft policy in the emerging Stratford-onAvon Site Allocations Plan (SAP) – SG18 is already a strategic location for employmentled mixed use development.
Stratford 46 can provide an anchor to any future surrounding housing growth west of
Stratford-upon-Avon and its capacity to deliver an employment-led mixed-use scheme
will provide a sustainable and accessible location for jobs, services and facilities required
by new residents.
Whilst IMP is supportive of SG18 it remains unclear how the Core Opportunity Area and
Major Investment Sites (MIS) interrelate with Strategic Growth Locations. IMP has
responded separately to Draft Policy Direction 13 and Draft Policy Direction 14
respectively on the matter.
