Residential Design Guidance and Review of Conservation Areas in Stratford-upon-Avon

The District Council has undertaken a study of several residential areas in Stratford-upon-Avon to identify the significant features and characteristics of the built environment, with a view to preparing design guidance for new development and to make recommendations on the extension of the designated conservation areas. The study is in response to recent pressures on residential areas of the town from redevelopment, particularly on what are referred to as 'backland' plots.

Following a period of public consultation the District Council has adopted a revised version of the Residential Character Study Report, prepared by consultants from the University of Central England (UCE), at the Council meeting on 25 July 2005. The extensions to the conservation areas include:

Avenue Road

Shottery Road

Tiddington Road

The community response provided a significant level of support for the extensions to the existing Stratford and Shottery conservation areas as well as for the design guidance.

The District Council has advertised the conservation area designations. They formally came into effect on 25 July 2005.

The UCE Residential Character Study report is very large so it has been broken down into separate chapters, which are detailed below and can be downloaded from the links on the right.

Contents

Introduction - Examination of Residential Character
Policy considerations and suggestions

Avenue Road - character study
Banbury Road - character study
Clopton Road - character study
Evesham Road (inc Shottery) - character study

The Council has adopted Stratford-upon-Avon - Design in Residential Areas as Supplementary Planning Guidance which sets out the general design principles and area specific design guidance identified in the Character Study.
