Plans revealed for Warwickshire airfield industrial park

Leading commercial property developers Stoford and Gladman are to deliver a new employment park as part of plans to revitalise Wellesbourne Mountford Airfield.
Stoford will act as delivery partner for the employment development at the airfield, which is located near Stratford-upon-Avon.

The deal could release up to 140 acres of much-needed employment land along the M40 corridor and is part of a promotion strategy, led by Gladman, to provide a new runway and enhanced aviation facilities in order to secure the long-term future of the airfield.

Best known for its role during World War II, Wellesbourne Mountford Airfield was formerly the Royal Air Force station RAF Wellesbourne Mountford.

Stoford Land Director, Andy Hartwright, said: “We’re excited to be supporting the progression of this strategically-important opportunity at Wellesbourne Mountford Airfield.

“We’ll be working closely with Gladman, the landowner and Stratford-on-Avon District Council, to assist with the site’s journey through the planning process to the delivery of a high- quality employment park. It has the potential to deliver high-tech jobs and offer a significant employment stream for the region.”
