Reopening the Stratford to Honeybourne railway would be a huge boon to greener transport, especially with all the new building work taking place in that area. Commuters could catch a train to Stratford and go further afield from there.

We should not safeguard land for any additional road schemes. There are already tarmac roads linking all settlements in Warwickshire therefore no more are needed. The only reason more roads would be needed is if population is allowed to increase. Your plan mentions sustainability. The only way for Warwickshire to be sustainable is for population to stop increasing. Please could you update your local plan to state that you will not be preserving land for future roads or housing and will instead be safeguarding the countryside. Please could you also include policies in the plan to discourage more than 2 births per family.

Inability to expand infrastructure leads to congestion and spill over to local roads. Safeguarding helps to mitigate this risk.

Yes

As the Local PLan is intended to run until 2050, many of the specified infrastructure schemes will have been dismissed long before this date, due to funding deficits or redesign. The safeguarded schemes should therefore have a "sunset" provision to remove then after 2035 if funding / mobilisation of the scheme is not then in place.

Yes

All of these schemes seem to be focussed on road widening. How does this align with the transport policies that seek to prioritise active and sustainable modes. By safeguarding for road widening schemes there is a risk that it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy as surrounding land is sterilised and therefore not able to deliver 20-minute neighbourhoods.

HS2, and the immense amount of land being trashed for it, is already a blight on our area. The understanding locally is that - eventually - much of this land will be returned to farmland / open space / replanted with trees etc. It is NOT to be countenanced that the land being used for the 'temporary' needs of the HS2 development, instead of being restored, gets sucked in and irrevocably overdeveloped with housing and carparks, just because it appears to be 'dead' land and is already under the control of developers. Particularly around Kenilworth, which is surrounded on 3 sides by these impacts, the easy option for developers and planning agencies will be to designate these areas as ready for redevelopment. Then Kenilworth will be merged in with Coventry, Berkswell, Balsall Common, Stoneleigh, Leamington. The edges of every town and settlement are vital, they are what maintains its own character and personality.

Whilst the land reservations for Stratford appear, for the most part, to be reasonable, there is no clear underlying strategy. They all look to be piecemeal bits and pieces. We have suffered for years from a lack of a long term strategy, resuting in the mess we have today. Traffic has grown exponentially but all we get is more unwanted traffic lights causing more delays and consequent emissions. The chotic traffic lights illustrate this point perfectly. Every time a developer can be hit for the cost of another set of lights, the Council can't resist the temptation - just look at the Birmingham Road to see the result. Some of the land reservations were obvious years ago - e.g. linking Western Road with Birmingham Road via a new canal crossing but as there wasn't a proper strategy in place, the opportunity was lost after the cattle market closed.

Stratford upon Avon needs the bypass link of the A46 to extend around to the Banbury Road to relieve the town from through traffic, this is the most important development Stratford can make to reduce pollution, emissions and lost productivity. The A46 should also be a dual carriageway from Warwick to Alcester. Train lines need to be expanded & re integrate old lines that have been disused. Any public transport hubs need accommodation for waiting & refreshments.

seems illogical protecting some schemes without knowing the needs flagged up in the new plan

Yes

I note that there a large number of significant projects in Stratford district and only a park and ride scheme proposed for Warwick District. Therefore good development opportunities need to be selected in Stratford district to generate the CIL to fund these developments
