Welcome to our website!
Richborough is preparing a planning application for around 135 new homes on land north of Salford Road, Bidford-on-Avon.
Before finalising and submitting an outline planning application to Stratford-upon-Avon District Council, Richborough hosted a public consultation from 19th November to 3rd December 2024, inviting the community to comment on the plans and share their feedback. The period for submitting feedback has now closed as the project team considers your feedback.
On this website you can find more detail about the proposals and read our handy FAQs.
Why does Bidford need new homes?
Providing new homes is important not only locally but nationally. It gives people a place to live for themselves and their families. It also helps support the local economy and can provide new infrastructure and open spaces for the local community. In the local area, our proposals will help the delivery of new homes to achieve the five-year supply of housing that the Council is required to have. Bidford’s status as a ‘Main Rural Centre’ in Stratford-on-Avon’s Core Strategy represents an opportunity for us to deliver housing in a sustainable location which has good access to a range of local services and facilities.
What is an outline planning application?
An outline planning application agrees the principle of development on a site and will seek to demonstrate how the proposed development can be integrated into the existing community with no significant impact on the existing settlement. If an outline planning application is granted planning permission, this must be followed by a reserved matters planning application, which must also receive its own planning permission. This will contain the detailed aspect of the design of the new homes and final layout.
