South Warwickshire Local Plan

Stratford-on-Avon and Warwick District Councils are working together to prepare a new local plan for South Warwickshire.  The plan is expected to replace the strategic policies in the Stratford Core Strategy and the Warwick District Local Plan (above).  The South Warwickshire Local Plan will set out a long term spatial strategy for homes, jobs, infrastructure and climate change across both districts.
