Summary
The Stratford-on-Avon Planning Committee convened on 27 August 2025, during which they delegated decisions on two planning applications to the Head of Development. These applications concerned proposed developments at Stratford-upon-Avon College and Abbey Farm, Earlswood.
Delegated Planning Decisions
Stratford-upon-Avon College, The Willows North, Stratford-upon-Avon, CV37 9QR - Application 25/01283/FUL
The committee was asked to consider a proposal for a second storey to a modular teaching building.
The determination of the application was delegated to the Head of Development, following the withdrawal of an objection from the Ward Member. The Ward Member had initially objected citing concerns about increased traffic and noise pollution affecting the residential area near the college.
The officer's report recommended granting the application, stating that the development aligns with the Stratford-on-Avon District Core Strategy policy CS.15, which identifies Stratford-upon-Avon as a suitable location for development, and policies INF1 and INF2 of the Neighbourhood Plan, which seek to improve educational provision. The report also noted that the proposed development would enhance the quality of educational provision and improve facilities for college students.
Abbey Farm, Earlswood Common, Earlswood, Solihull, B94 5SQ - Application 24/00623/FUL
The committee was asked to consider a change of use of a barn to a dwelling.
The determination of this application was delegated to the Head of Development, following the withdrawal of an objection from the Parish Council.
The officer's report recommended granting the application, noting that while the site is in the Green Belt1 and open countryside, the proposal is for the re-use of a permanent and substantial building, which is not inappropriate development in the Green Belt, in accordance with paragraph 154 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). The report also stated that the proposal is acceptable under Policy H3 of the Tanworth-in-Arden Neighbourhood Development Plan.
