Progress update March 2025
In March 2025, the Council published an updated Local Development Scheme (LDS), which sets out the current position regarding the Site Allocations Plan (SAP).
In summary, the focus of recent planning policy work has been on the SWLP Preferred Options. The SAP remains a draft policy.
The SAP will be kept under review - if the emerging SWLP (Publication Regulation 19 version) can sufficiently cover the relevant content of the emerging SAP, the SAP will be withdrawn.
What is the Site Allocations Plan?
The Site Allocations Plan (SAP) is a Local Plan document that will sit alongside the existing Core Strategy to guide where and how potential development proposals will be built. The Site Allocations Plan includes policies and proposals for:
- Identification and release of Reserve Housing Sites
- Self-build and Custom Housebuilding, including proposed sites
- Built-up Area Boundaries for settlements
- Safeguarding land for A46 junction improvements
- Specific site proposals in Stratford-upon-Avon, Studley and across the rural area

Stratford-on-Avon District Council held a public consultation on a further Regulation 18 Preferred Options version of its Site Allocations Plan. The consultation ran from Thursday 16 June until 5.00pm on Friday 29 July 2022. The consultation has now closed.
