SG17: Doesn’t adhere strategic objectives: ‘sustainable level growth in area’ or ‘growth is proportionate’ to Shipton’s scale or ‘located in sustainable area’ i.e a floodplain! Doesn’t adhere to ‘location with good transport communications / people able access jobs, adequate services’. Development would double Shipston’s size, ruining it as small, historic town. Development isn’t resilient to climate change - Shipston bridge closes regularly from Stour flooding. Doesn’t adhere to ‘protecting the environmental asset:’ River Stour PLWS. Besides all that, historic post-medieval bridge only allows one vehicle at a time; development would hugely increase traffic across that bridge to an un-workable level.
