Meeting our Development Needs to 2050

The human version (we wrote this, not the council)

This policy commits the plan to providing at least 225 hectares of strategic and 321 hectares of non-strategic employment land up to 2050. Strategic allocations plus existing commitments give a total supply of 278 hectares, 53 hectares above the identified need. Non-strategic supply totals 345.6 hectares against a need of 321.1 hectares, split between Stratford-on-Avon (199.9 hectares needed) and Warwick (121.2 hectares needed).
