Land East of Joseph House – Stratford Rd
Taylor Wimpey (developers) are consulting on proposals for some 120 new homes on ‘Land East of Joseph House, Stratford Road’. Full details about their [proposals can be found via their dedicated website, where you can also have ‘your say’:
This site accompanies the developments off Dog Kennel Lane that received outline planning permission last week.
Original proposals for the wider Dog Kennel Lane site did include this land, but was not subject to later planning applications by Taylor Wimpey, or adjoining land developers, Richborough Estates. The original proposals did also include access/egress to the whole development via the traffic island off the main A34 Stratford Road at Monkspath Hall Road. This proposal seeks access to serve only the 120 new homes on this parcel of land.
We have met with the applicants planning team and have stated we can not support the application. We feel that with outline permission for the development on Dog Kennel Lane being granted, reserved matters (which relate to the detailed development) has still to be determined and that commencement of any development itself is a long way off. We feel this proposal should wait until the councils own local development plan comes forward – due sometime in spring/summer next year.
Please visit the website so you can see what is proposed. You may also wish to make a comment or join the webinar this Thursday (18th December) between 6.30pm – 7.30pm via Microsoft Teams.
We anticipate a formal planning application being submitted later this month. This will have far more details, such as transport/highway issues will be addressed. It is only then that any formal comment should be made.
