Land at Bordon Hill FarmSite Overview
ContextThe site comprises land at Bordon Hill Farm, to the south
of
Evesham Road, and encompasses an area of approximately
8.6ha. It consists of two agricultural fields that slope from
the
north-west to south-eastern corner. Mature hedgerows form
the north, south and western boundaries; whilst no physical
feature defines the eastern boundary which bisects the
existing field.
Surrounding land uses include residential to the north,
south
and east; Stratford-on-Avon racecourse to the east; and
Bordon
Hill Nurseries, a large-scale garden centre, to the west.
The
site is located within 1.6 miles of Stratford town centre,
and
the site’s development would effectively extend the planned
Shottery (West Stratford) development area. Site Location

Land at Bordon Hill FarmPlanning Policy Context
Local Planning PolicyStratford-on-Avon Core Strategy (2011-2031)
was adopted in
July 2016 and constitutes the Development Plan for
Stratford-
upon-Avon District. This documents sets out a development
strategy for the district up to 2031, and provides policies
that
will help deliver the vision.
Stratford-upon-Avon is identified as the district’s
principal
settlement, and a sub-regional centre, and is therefore
considered to be the main focus for new housing and business
development. Between 2011 and 2031 an additional 14,600
new homes need to be provided within Stratford-on-Avon
District to meet the identified need. Of the new housing to
be
provided as part of developments of 11 units or more, 35% of
the dwellings are to be affordable housing.
National Planning PolicyThe National Planning Policy Framework
(NPPF) was published
in March 2012 and forms the principal national planning
policy document. It sets out a presumption in favour of
sustainable development and outlines a number of Core
Planning Principles. Most notably it seeks for planning to
deliver
the homes that the country needs and to focus significant
development in area which are sustainable.
