Wilmcote and Bearley have a canal path. It is very narrow, very busy and partly paved. From the Wootton Wawen end this pathway is extremely muddy in the winter and not at all suitable as a cycle path. This whole pathway would need to be developed to make it anywhere near good enough for active travel.
The A3400 is already a death-trap from speeding, now set at 50 mph. Certainly not a suitable road for a cycle path.
The mornings, school pick up times and after work commute times are VERY congested, adding to emissions, journey times and frustration.

The Consultation is mainly on Housing & Economic development, there is very little on Major Infrastructure required to accommodate this building work.
Developers cannot fund major Infrastructure.
Infrastructure is a Government / Highways responsibility and should be implemented PRIOR to any Building Work Applications being approved.
As an example:
Plans to build thousands of Homes around the M40 Junction 16 Corridor including Lapworth, Henley in Arden etc require a Southern access & Northern Exit from the M40 at Junction 16.
Without this traffic on the A3400 will become intolerable.
Infrastructure is essential prior to any building work being started.

1. There must be stronger guarantees that these contributions will be sufficient, timely, and directly benefit the local area.
2. Too often, infrastructure delivery lags behind housing development, placing increased strain on local roads, healthcare, schools, and public services before mitigations are in place.
3. the A46 corridor must be carefully considered to ensure they provide genuine benefits to local communities, rather than simply facilitating through-traffic at the expense of local road networks and environmental quality.
4. Any transport upgrades serve local needs first, rather than prioritizing regional and national traffic movements.

Yes I agree with the strategy but for sites such as BW the infrastructure is currently wholly inadequate for any further development and given the cost and disruption could never be at a suitable level for development. Sites should only be considered that realistically will have the infrastructure to cope.

Yes I agree with the strategy but unfortunately the strategy has not been thoroughly evaluated as the road system, rail system and bus services are wholly inadequate in and around Stratford upon Avon. The roads are at capacity and the public transport system is severely lacking especially in the some of the villages you are proposing such as BW should have large scale development. The whole infrastructure would need replacing in many areas at a huge cost.

Before any deciosns are made fir new sites the local infrastructure plan needs to be presented and rationalised. No judgements of any sites can be made before this has been done. The plan us currently just a 'plan' with no proof of delivery and instigation. Once proven and stess tested each location can be reviewed accordingly.

I do note that as ever with infrastructure components of development plans there is a lot of "where viable" and "where appropriate" which often means "never" in practice. I think it should be a core requirement of planning that the infrastructure for large developments is built and signed off *before* the rest of the development is approved for construction. That way developers can't weedle out of providing the infrastructure the plans demand at the last minute, which has been seen in the past.

Unfortunately the current figures do not add up to cover the amount of investment needed to make the the Bearley/Wilmcote site viable. The A3400 Birmingham Road cannot be widened to cater for the additional traffic volume expected to travel into Stratford upon Avon and the expected commuter traffic heading into Birmingham via Wootton Wauwen/Henley in Arden (both bottlenecks).
Both Wilmcote and Bearley train stations are unsuitable for expansion to cater for the expected commute volumes from the site by both car and bicycle. The Infrastructure spend to make this site viable is not sustainable.

The Birmingham A3400 Road is problematic now as it cannot cope with the current needs and there are long traffic queues into Stratford from the Wilmcote junction with the Birmingham road.
There are currently 14 roundabouts, traffic lights and pedestrian lights to travel the 3 miles from this junction to Stratford Leisure Centre, which cause huge back-ups especially at peak times. I personally use this route every day and it can take over 30mins . Adding further infrastructure (even if there were money/ space available to to this before housing development started), would only exacerbate the problem.

Emphasis needs to be on determining highly accurate figures for other area housing needs before allocating space in South Warwickshire for them. Strong support should be shown too for existing residents' needs. Too much development has taken place already which has impacted negatively on many of them. Many road junctions have become dangerous due to the addition of heavy new traffic and residents' concerns for safety improvements ignored. Existing water supply/sewage pipes have proved to be inadequate to cope with new builds leading to frequent bursts and disruption badly affecting existing residents. Infrastructure is priority ahead of building.

Yes but. The history of transport provision has been all about the car. The edge of town sites will place an increased burden on the town's roads, at the same time as providing very limited opportunities for alternatives. Land use and transport provision need to be more closely aligned. I am not convinced this policy is sufficient.

Yes agree. Would make no sense building housing, services and employment opportunities if one does not provide the necessary infrastructure improvements. My only concern is one views recent developments in regions around south Warwickshire that have seen large housing development and some enterprise development but the lack of improved infrastructure has not been tied into the developments approval. infrastructure improvements for medium - large scale developments must be sought, funded and legally tied into any site. Too often this is forgotten.

Schools, shops, doctors surgeries, community centres etc need to be built at the same time as the housing, not as subsequent builds. Local communities need local facilities.

More outline details of these infrastructure needs to be shown in the same document as the proposed housing. The SWLP IDP Nov24 TCA tries to convey some of these considerations but it is not a public user friendly document. Leamington (plus Warwick and Stratford) are congested by the bridges and relative location of housing, shops & jobs. This needs to be clearer consideration in the documents.

Whilst I agree with the approach laid out, I have considerable concerns regarding whether this would be followed to prevent developers from not delivering the infrastructure required, which in some of the strategic growth areas, is sorely lacking. Therefore, there would need to be substantial improvements in infrastructure and this would make less people object to some of the housing development required if the necessary infrastructure is put into place.

I agree with the approach and 'the words' but this isn't reality.
TRAINS: The line through Wilmcote is a branch line and ends in Stratford. Wilmcote station is a rural station with no disabled access to the southerly platform. Parking isn't available.
No toilets or waiting rooms, costly to upgrade. Leamington and Hatton are mainline stations.
ROAD UPGRADES NEEDED to A46 and A3400 but this will still have traffic at both Stratford and Henley, land acquisitions required.
CYCLING: The canal path is owned by Canal and River trust and doesn't lend itself to upgrading due to existing locks and cottages.

infrastructure is needed - and any proposal needs to also fix the issues that have developed due to prior poor development ideas, and letting developers get away with making money while leaving new settlement areas stranded - these need to be fixed as part of the plan.
Infrastructure needs to be designed with a Net Zero future and link to high quality rail networks with a wide reach for a hybrid style work future, not a 9-5 commute every day approach

BW site will require such a huge amount of infrastructure to be put in place that the builders wont see this as a financially attractive option. Consequently the housing stock is likely to be priced accordingly, which doesn’t support the local population housing needs as demonstrated in the Wilmcote and Pathlow Neighbourhood plan (2017).

This local plan needs to address the backlog of congestion as well as planning for the future.
All routes need to accomodate all modes of transport (move the priority away from vehicles) as well as providing suitable drainage and ecological features.
New residential areas should provide safe zones for play and navigation and respond to the updated highway code with priority towards pedestrians/cyclists at the forefront.
