Longer term measures
In response to the public consultation on the A3400 corridor a number of longer term measures were identified to improve east-west connectivity and relieve traffic pressures on the Birmingham Road. A summary of the proposals is set out in the table below.
The focus of work to date has been on the delivery of the short term proposals (set out under the 'Proposals' tab). A review of the benefits of the longer term measures will be carried out as part of the production of an Area Strategy for Stratford-on-Avon District. The Area Strategy is being produced to support delivery of Warwickshire's recently adopted Local Transport Plan 4.
| Proposals | Effect of proposals |
|---|---|
|
8a. New road link between Western Road and Hamlet Way. An element of the land required for the link road forms part of the Heritage Steam Centre proposal which was granted planning consent in 2011. The planning consent has since lapsed. Negotiations would be required with the promoters of the steam centre who own the site to acquire the necessary land. |

|
8b. New road link between Western Road and Maybrook Road. Both of these are longer term proposals that could not come forward until the Cattle Market had been redeveloped and the existing business premises relocated. |
|
| 9. In conjunction with proposal 8A or 8B, conversion of the Western Road junction to a left-in, left-out junction (with the exception of buses turning right out of Western Road which would still need to be signal-controlled). |
Journey time savings associated with modification to Western Road junction. These are more significant than the benefits brought about by the proposal for a new link road. However the modifications to the Western Road junction could not be delivered without the new link road itself. |
