How schemes in Henley-in-Arden get decided.
Two councils involved
Stratford-on-Avon District Council decides the planning application, but Warwickshire County Council is the highway authority and gives the highways response. We deal with both, so the evidence suits the county’s standards as well as the local plan.
What shapes schemes in Henley-in-Arden
A small market town with a long historic high street on the A3400, a station on the Stratford line and the M40 a few miles away. In the centre, the questions are usually servicing, parking and narrow streets. On the edges, it’s access, visibility and a safe walking route into town.
Roads, rail and buses
The main roads are the A3400, with the M40 nearby. There’s a railway station, so the walking and cycling route to it counts for a lot in any application. Where a scheme adds traffic to the M40, National Highways needs to agree the evidence as well. We tell you early if yours does.
Questions we get asked
Who is the highway authority in Henley-in-Arden?
Warwickshire County Council, for local roads. Stratford-on-Avon District Council decides the planning application and consults Warwickshire County Council on highways matters. We deal with both. National Highways is responsible for the M40.
Do you cover the area around Henley-in-Arden?
Yes, including Alcester, Redditch and Stratford-upon-Avon, and the villages and rural sites in between.
Will National Highways need to be involved?
Only if a scheme adds enough traffic to the M40 to matter. We check that at the start and, where it’s needed, agree the approach with them alongside the council.
