Lighthorne Heath

3 sections of the plan, in document order.

The human version (we wrote this, not the council)This policy allocates new local employment sites. It provides 11 hectares at Bidford-on-Avon East and North for industrial, storage and office uses, 3.3 hectares at Henley Golf Club in Henley-in-Arden for a research and innovation campus, and 3 hectares at Paradise, Lighthorne Heath for the specific expansion needs of Aston Martin Lagonda. Each site must integrate with the wider masterplan for its area, and the Lighthorne Heath site can only come forward after an earlier 4.5 hectare allocation is developed.

The human version (we wrote this, not the council)This section repeats the table of new employment allocations under Policy DS.5. It covers 11 hectares at Bidford-on-Avon East and North for industrial, storage and office uses, 3.3 hectares at Henley Golf Club, Henley-in-Arden for a research and innovation campus, and 3 hectares at Paradise, Lighthorne Heath reserved for the expansion of Aston Martin Lagonda. Each site must fit with the wider masterplan for its settlement and follow the requirements of the related site proposals.

It provides about 157 hectares of strategic employment land and 81 hectares of non-strategic land, focused on automotive manufacturing. At least 50% of floorspace on the main site must be industrial or research uses, with warehousing capped at 50%.
