The Fell Mill Lane sites 552, 148 and 747.

This area was one of the places that I walked around during the Covid 19 pandemic restrictions. It provided, not only a good walk, but also beautiful views. I learned so much about my town while walking along the footpaths and country lanes. If you build on this land, this vital and uplifting green space will be lost. Shipston already lacks enough green space for its residents.
The Shipston recycling centre is essential to reduce carbon emissions – if it is removed, Shipston’s residents will have to drive further, not only more expense but also producing more carbon.
How will the residents of these new houses get around? They will probably drive to get supplies, deliver their children to schools and go to work: no shops, no improved transport links and no employment opportunities are planned. Thus Shipston and its residents will be even more polluted.
Honington and Shipston bridges are single track and historic constructions. They are not suitable for increased rates of traffic.
The area around Fell Mill Lane is a flood plain. Development would increase the risk of flooding, not only in Shipston but also downstream.
