Eco-town Proposal
The proposed eco-town would be six miles south-west of Stratford-upon-Avon. The majority of the 240ha site is the former Long Marston Royal Engineers depot which is now owned by St Modwen. The remainder is land owned by the Bird Group which is currently used as a business park.
The plans are for at least 6,000 zero carbon homes including 2,000 affordable houses and community infrastructure including up to four schools, health care and retail facilities.
About two-thirds of the site is in Warwickshire and one-third in Worcestershire and lies in both the parliamentary constituencies of Stratford-upon-Avon and Mid-Worcestershire, represented by Nadhim Zahawi MP and Peter Luff MP respectively.
On Thursday 4 September 2008 St Modwen and the Bird Group published a document entitled "A VISION FOR MIDDLE QUINTON ECO-TOWN". The document includes diagrams showing six phases of development over a fifteen-year period.
The second round of consultation on eco-towns runs from 4 November 2008 until 19 February 2009. http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Nl1/Newsroom/DG_172576
