It is unclear how many homes might be accommodated in SG20 but the area is vast. Section 4.3 states it is important to define boundaries between settlements to distinguish between scales of settlements and the open countryside. SG20 is in open countryside and will coalesce with Ardens Grafton. It is also an elevated area of high visual impact.

The chosen Spatial Growth Strategy is "Sustainable Travel and Economy". Bidford has expanded significantly but the nearest train station is in Honeybourne. When Bidford bridge is closed, rail users from Bidford and north of the river need to detour via Welford bridge. This has also been shut on numerous occasions due to flooding, via Barton is unpassable when the river overspills its banks. Bidford does not have a secondary school within a 2km walk to support sustainable travel. The nearest secondary schools are in Alcester, Stratford-upon-Avon and Chipping Campden.
