South Warwickshire Local Plan - (SWLP)
The plan is a joint undertaking by Stratford on Avon District Council and Warwickshire District Council.
Full details of the consultation document, released in May 2021, are shown here.
There are 8 stages as shown in the timetable.
(a)The process has currently reached the end of stage 1 "Scoping and Call for sites Consultation".
The details of the SWLP consultation statement are shown in this document dated January 2022.
Appendix 1 presents the analysis of the responses received to the 53 Scoping Consultation questions introduced above in the consultation document. The website has links to sites covering responses from the consultation: scoping of the document, the call for sites and the results of the stakeholder engagement sessions held last summer (2021).

When you click on "Consultation Viewer" the page shows as blank and black ...scroll down.

The response may be support, object and/or comment.
Checking the "View All Responses" will place the answers to all 53 questions in the box!
Call for Sites Map
The "Call for Sites map" link shows the sites submitted (January 2022).Please read the splash screen which qualifies the presence of a site on the list. The map shows the area covered by the SWLP document as a thin red line; Sambourne is on the left just under the connurbation of Redditch.
In the usual way zoom using the mouse wheel or gesture; alternatively double click to step into the area.
The map uses layers to show various features.
These can be selected/ deselected on the right hand side under "Layer list".
For example, if you display the area around the Green in Sambourne and click "Conservation Areas" - inside the small square to the left of this feature - then the conservation area is shown in pale green. Clicking the small black triangle to the left of Conservation Areas shows the colour used to depict the feature.
Selecting/deselecting by clicking the small square makes the pale green area appear/disappear. When the map is loaded it defaults to SWLP Sites and SWLP boundary options selected. Please note: because of the amount of data invoved the site can be quite slow to respond at times.
As you will be aware there is a vast amount of information covering all aspects of SWLP.
It is hoped that this Noddy's Guide makes it simpler for people to get an overview of the current situation.
