Overview

Long Marston Garden Village, Stratford-upon-Avon

Project type: New Settlement
Client: CALA Homes (Midlands), Homes England
Stage: Outline Planning Consent

Long Marston Garden Village lies four miles south of Stratford-upon-Avon, on the northern edge of the Cotswolds. The Garden Village is one of 14 identified by the government to promote locally-led growth and ensure quality is delivered alongside quantity.

JTP has been working closely with CALA Homes, Homes England, Stratford-upon-Avon District Council and the communities of the surrounding villages to support the delivery of this 205 ha site. 

The new garden village will provide 3,500 homes, significant employment space, three schools, and a mixed-use village centre at the heart of the site.

The proposals are underpinned by a Supplementary Planning Document (SPD), prepared by Lichfields and JTP for Stratford-upon-Avon District Council, which was approved in March 2018. 

The SPD sets out a clear vision and framework to ensure these principles are achieved in the long term.

“
We believe that we have designed an attractive and sustainable scheme, which will transform the area and create a new community that would help meet local housing need.
Michael Emett, Strategic Land Director at CALA Homes
