There are issues with the manner that S106/S278/CIL monies are assessed and applied. Healthcare, emergency services, education, and green and blue infrastructure provision are inadequate and could not support an increased population in Shipston-on-Stour. The frequency and severity of river and surface water flooding is increasing. Water supply is subject to leaks and failures due to the age of pipes.

There are fundamental flaws with IDP Section 4.7.2.4 Water supply and Sewerage. Developers are responsible to their site boundary and connection to the adopted sewer network and then Severn Trent is responsible for the network and treatment works. There are many examples of new development overloading the existing network leading to surface and foul water flooding downstream.

There is reason to question the validity of the IDP. One example places the Portabello Crossroads in Shipston as still being a future project. It was completed in full some three years ago. The document cannot be trusted as evidence.
