We suggest a new settlement between the M40 and Chiltern Rail Line. This location would include a hotel, major high tech employment within the M40 employment corridor, and provide the most sustainable connectivity. Expansion of Warwick University onto this new settlement would provide a further anchor employment.

Further, a substantial well designed new settlement at this location would accord with the expected recommendations from the Sir Michael Lyons New Settlement Task Force expected in the summer.

While these are not considered as a new settlement, the potential agglomeration size means that they may function in a similar way. With no fast connectivity such as rail, and with buses providing the only viable public transport to Stratford-upon-Avon, the effects on traffic in the town and approaches would be untenable. TTG do not support these locations without a proper traffic assessment and planned infrastructure improvements in advance of development.

Strategic Growth Areas which circle historic towns provide a collar affecting both the effectiveness of new development and the pre-existing town. Major growth options spread towards existing villages, potentially overwhelming them, detracting from investment in new settlements.
Stratford-upon-Avon infrastructure is constrained by historic layout of the town, in transport terms, suffers major congestion. The transport assessment supporting these sites around the town, generally suggests that increased bus services could provide connectivity, however in a congested road system, these provide unreliable journeys and are unlikely to be acceptable by many. Therefore the TTG does not support this Strategic Growth area.

It is remote from significant employment options and therefore require trips through the town to access employment and sustainable transport commuting.

E1 - Long Marston Airfield
The site has major transport issues, and the accompanying evidence which suggests that a major transport infrastructure upgrade is not necessary due to internalisation is considered not tenable. However, this is a potentially sizeable new settlement, and as such could provide a well designed setting for homes and employment. The TTG would support this location , as it is partly developed, if a major transport upgrade is included and implemented in advance.
