Shipston-on-Stour cannot sustainably support further planning proposals due to critical infrastructure limitations. The town faces significant challenges including vulnerable flood plains, overwhelmed healthcare services with two-month consultant waiting times, and severe parking constraints. Development at this scale will exacerbate existing flooding issues. Proposed developments would increase existing pressures on medical facilities, drainage systems, and local amenities. The potential population growth threatens the town's character, environmental integrity, and ability to serve both residents and surrounding villages. These factors collectively demonstrate that additional housing or urban expansion would create unsustainable strain on Shipston's already stretched resources and community infrastructure.
