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 Plan

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.

Land at Bordon Hill FarmHighways Proposals
Existing Transport ConnectionsThe site is well-located relative to the existing and proposed road networks. Evesham Road connect the site to Stratford and the A46, and is currently a wide single carriageway route and a 40mph speed limit is in force where it passes the site. The speed limit reduces to 30mph a short distance to the east, prior to the junction with Luddington Road.
The site can be reached on foot via Evesham Road, which has good standard footways on both sides. It lies within a 2km walking distance of Stratford town centre. Shottery St Andrews Primary School is located within approximately 1km. The site is therefore within recommended walking distances of a range of facilities.
The proposed site access is within approximately 400m of the nearest bus stop on Evesham Road, where services 18/X18 and 27 can be accessed. These combine to provide a 30-minute frequency service to and from the town centre.

APPLICATION SITE
ParkingOn-plot parking facilities for cars and bicycles within each dwelling would be provided in accordance with the County Council’s current parking standards.
Existing Bus Routes
Access ProposalsIt is currently proposed that vehicle access to the site will be via a new T-junction on Evesham Road along the site frontage. The scheme will be incorporated within the existing kerb-lines on Evesham Road, which is wide enough to provide a separate lane for traffic turning right into the site. The implications for highway capacity will be fully assessed within the Transport Assessment that supports the planning application.
The proposed internal roads would be designed in accordance with Warwickshire County Council’s current requirements and those of the Manual for Streets. The aim is to create a safe road layout that limits vehicle speeds and encourages people to walk and cycle, whilst also ensuring adequate access for refuse collection and other service vehicles.

Existing ConditionsAccording to the mapping produced by the Environment Agency the proposed development site falls entirely within Flood Zone 1. The classification of Flood Zone 1 deems the site to be at a low probability of flooding and therefore in accordance with government guidelines, is suitable for residential development. The Environment Agency also publish surface water flood maps and these show that the risk of surface water flooding through parts of the site is very low.
Proposed Strategy
Surface WaterIn order to ensure that the increased surface water flow rates are not transferred downstream a system of surface water flow attenuation and storage will be constructed to hold back the flow and release it at the pre-development flow rates. The system will consist of underground tanks; storage and flow restriction controls, which will store the water generated under rainfall events and release it slowly. This is a “tried and tested” method of ensuring that developments will not increase any downstream flood risk.
Foul WaterThere is an existing 300mm diameter combined water sewer in Luddington Road which flows in a southerly direction. Discussions regarding the available capacity in this sewer are currently ongoing with Severn Trent Water.
