Plans have been submitted for a new manufacturing and logistics development which could create up to 500 jobs.

The development in Gaydon could deliver up to 500,000 sq ft of employment space, creating jobs across multiple sectors as well as support for local skills and apprenticeships.

Coventry-based developer Deeley Group is leading the scheme in Banbury Road.

Joint managing director Eleanor Deeley said: "We are pleased to be submitting our plans for a new manufacturing and logistics site near Gaydon.

"This follows months of engagement with officers at the council and the community living near to the site. Our consultation saw many people get involved and provide feedback on our plans.

"We were pleased to see such a high level of engagement and we appreciate all of the constructive feedback.

"We were also delighted to see a high level of support for both the delivery of new manufacturing and logistics jobs in the local area and the high sustainable standards of our proposals.

"Our aim is for this to be a landmark development for the local area that delivers tangible lasting benefits. We are committed to continuing to work with local stakeholders and the community as the plans progress."

A decision on the proposals is expected to be made by Stratford on Avon Council later this year.
