The Parish Council have been contacted by the agent acting on behalf of St Philips, regarding Land East of Stratford Road, Hockley Heath:
“St Philips has submitted an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) scoping request to Warwick District Council and Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council for land east of Stratford Road in Hockley Heath. This reflects the fact that while the majority of the site lies within WDC, a small section adjacent to Stratford Road falls within SMBC. The request has now been validated and is available to view on the Council’s planning portal.
St Philips has been promoting the site through the South Warwickshire Local Plan process, which identified the site in the SWLP Preferred Options consultation. Alongside early technical work, we are engaging with Warwickshire County Council to understand whether there may be a requirement for a new primary school in this part of the District, which the site could accommodate. In line with national policy for Grey Belt development, the site will also offer a 40% provision of affordable housing, helping local people to access high-quality homes in Hockley Heath.
A short project webpage has been published to explain the EIA process and provide updates as the work progresses: stratfordroadhockleyheath.co.uk.
As the proposals develop further, we intend to launch a public consultation in due course so that the local community can provide feedback”.
