Sites 148 Fell Mill Lane and 747 Leasow Farm

1) Accessibility/Traffic Impact

Would be huge impacts on already-stretched and congested roads. Many are narrow, with single lane bridges/crossings at Honington, Barcheston, and Fell Mill Lane. Honington Bridge is weight-restricted and in need of repair, recognised by Warwickshire CC. The turnpike leading on to A3400 is masked by historic listed pillars and is incredibly dangerous going right to Stratford.

2) Flood risk

The River Stour is flooding more often due to increased rainfall from climate change. Both sites are in flood-prone areas and would significantly increase flooding concerns. It seems there are no infrastructure improvements planned. Increased flooding would impact historic meadow lands.

3) Strain on local infrastructure

Sewerage works are struggling to meet existing requirements. Tankers are removing sewerage regularly. The GP service in Shipston is not fit for purpose. Shipston High School is full and has no 6th form. There is no train service and buses are few. No improvements planned. Altogether most unsuitable sites for development.
