SG17 fails to meet the SWLP's principles and objectives and is unsuitable for development based on the technical evidence and sustainability rankings:

It is remote from significant employment opportunities, with poor transport connections (remote from rail, very limited public transport, poor roads); creating very high car dependency.

There are very limited amenities in the local area (shopping, leisure, medical, schools, emergency). On top of recent large-scale development in Shipston-on-Stour, it would overwhelm these amenities and add to local road congestion.

Development of this site would inevitably increase the risk of flooding into the River Stour (particularly sites 148 and 707).

The high-density nature of SG17 (especially Fell Mill and Leasowe Farm) is not in keeping with the local rural character of Shipston-on-Stour and the adjoining Conservation Areas.

The land east of Fell Mill is referenced in the Domesday Book, making it an area of great historical importance. Extensive archaeological survey work should have been undertaken prior to consideration of this site.
The site is in conflict with majority of the strategic objectives.
The SA ranks this site poorly against a few SA objectives.
