We would like to register our objections to the proposed local plan particularly in regard to Shipston on Stour where we have lived for 6 years. During that time a number of housing developments have already taken place and the town already is frequently congested because of increased traffic on its tiny streets.

While Shipston currently retains its identity as a small market town, the size of proposed future developments would have a considerable detrimental effect on its appearance, nature and services, the latter of which are already stressed. It is hard to imagine how our excellent GP surgery could possibly cope with hundreds if not thousands more patients, and it is of course already impossible to register with an NHS dentist here. Their list is already full.

Since we don’t have school age children we can’t personally comment on adverse effects in this regard, but common sense tells us – more houses, more children…but more schools?? Highly unlikely. Other public services such as drainage, water supply etc would also be impacted. How would this work?
