The human version (we wrote this, not the council)
This policy protects a corridor of land for a proposed western bypass of Stratford-upon-Avon, running between the A3400 Shipston Road and the A46 Alcester Road. The bypass is needed to deliver the new community at Long Marston Airfield and development south of the town. The route would cross the B439 Evesham Road, join the B3462 Campden Road south of Clifford Chambers, and cross the Stratford greenway at a height that keeps open its possible future reinstatement as a railway. Development in the corridor must not hinder the scheme.

Policy ID.4
Stratford-upon-Avon Bypass
As shown on the Policies Map, Land within the indicative corridor for the proposed
western bypass to Stratford-upon-Avon town between the A3400 Shipston Road and
A46 Alcester Road will be protected for the future delivery of the scheme. This bypass
is required to deliver Long Marston Airfield new community as well as development to
the south of the town. The route will intersect with the B439 Evesham Road to provide
additional capacity and resilience and join the B3462 Campden Road south of
Clifford Chambers. From Clifford Lane (B4362), the route would then head east to join
the A3400 Shipston Road to connect into Proposal STR.2.
The route will also cross the Stratford-upon-Avon greenway at a height to safeguard its
possible future reinstatement for heavy rail.
Development proposals within or adjoining the corridor will be permitted where:
1. They would not prevent or materially hinder the determination of the final
alignment or detailed design of the road
