Policy DS.5

Local Growth Locations ~ Employment

On page 66 of the official PDF.

The human version

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.

An unofficial plain English summary. The official wording below is what counts at examination; check it before you rely on anything here.
