Welcome to Planning this week, our weekly guide to planning applications in and around Stratford-upon-Avon, in plain English, from Stratford-on-Avon District Council’s weekly list. The latest list, published on Monday 2 November, has 62 applications across the district, 19 of them for tree work. In town, King Edward VI School wants a new sixth form centre. Around Stratford, three housing plans stand out: 99 homes at Salford Priors, 70 at Kineton and 40 at Ettington.
