How schemes in Stratford-upon-Avon 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 Stratford-upon-Avon
A historic town with heavy year-round visitor traffic, a station at the end of the line from Birmingham and the A46 bypass to the north. In the centre, the questions are servicing, parking and how people walk to the shops and the station. On the edges, it’s access, visibility and the main junctions.
Roads, rail and buses
The main roads are the A46, A3400, A422 and A439. 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 A46, National Highways needs to agree the evidence as well. We tell you early if yours does.

Who is the highway authority in Stratford-upon-Avon?
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 A46.
Do you cover the area around Stratford-upon-Avon?
Yes, including Alcester, Henley-in-Arden and Warwick, and the villages and rural sites in between.
Will National Highways need to be involved?
Only if a scheme adds enough traffic to the A46 to matter. We check that at the start and, where it’s needed, agree the approach with them alongside the council.
