The stresses placed on local services and roads extend to beyond the immediate vicinity of the place being developed. This includes road junctions, footpaths and pavements, stations. The requirement to improve and enhance infrastructure should be considered holistically along the entire length of commutes or journeys to be made. Building in the countryside will result in long journeys to access leisure, work, and health facilities. Emergency services access times are longer. Development needs to consider all aspects of life - not just the 100 metres or so surrounding the place with short cycle paths and a couple of streetlights.

There were many points made that are relevant to any construction around Hockley Heath SG24. Currently there are problems with congestion especially as the A3400 through the village is used as an alternative route for motorway traffic. Air quality is a potential issue. Flooding is a big problem in the village. There is a video that shows the extent of flooding that can be found at this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UY1WIvPXa64

Transport infrastructure should be financed and delivered in advance of development to
unlock the building of homes, employment opportunities, as is done successfully elsewhere in the UK.
In order to achieve this for New Settlements or major growth areas, it is suggested that a form of Development Corporation incorporating all tiers of local government and public sector investors, would deliver the best outcome.
The policy makes no mention of taking into account rail strategies which fall outside of the WM area. For example connectivity to London after capacity is released on the Chiltern Line due to the opening of HS2.

It is the opinion of Wythall Parish Council that traffic from New Settlement sites A1 and A2 will exacerbate the traffic on the existing local road network around junctions 3 and 3a of the M42 which already suffer tailbacks at busy periods. Is there any consideration of a new motorway junction being built to service the new settlements?

Broadly yes BUT “in certain circumstances” “where proven” “necessary and viable” are all far too weak for policy wording. These phrases appear in the text below the DPD box. Developers will use every opportunity to avoid delivering infrastructure ahead of development. Where infrastructure is appropriate it must be funded and delivered ahead of commencement of construction (and/or demolition). If necessary financial bonds should be provided by the developer

Previous infrastructure commitment have utterly failed to materialise (Meon Bale/Long Marsden). Even if this was guaranteed in the BW proposal, there would be gridlock in Henley, Snitterfield and Wilmcote unless bi passes were built for each. 6,500 homes = 10,000+ cars. Maybe 100 commute from both rail stations max. That is realistic rather the eco fantasy. There would a be HUGE increase in commuting traffic that MUST be considered. surrounding villages and Henley would become a nightmare. I also assume M40 J15 would require capacity improvements. It's already gridlocked at times.

New infrastructure should be the result of a clear defined strategy that has been informed by expert advice and modelling. Infrastructure should be committed and delivered in advance or at the same time that development is brought forward. Existing communities should benefit from new infrastructure at the outset of new development commencing not at the end and to this end developers should be required to pay S.106 payments or deliver the necessary infrastructure at the commencement of development not 6, 12,18 months after development commences.

I agree with the proposal to improve transport infrastructure within the region, however the site SG22 West of Studley would not benefit from any improvements to the transport system that would support ongoing sustainability and carbon reduction.
The SG22 site is not readily accessible by any form of Rail connection, and would require driving to/from - increasing the amount of road traffic that is already causing regular problems within the surrounding areas. There is no reasonable option available to provide mass transit facilities or to significantly improve public transport services to the area to provide an acceptable level.

It has been incorrectly applied. Road network will not support a settlement of that size. Train track and Hatton station will need to be upgraded, but this is next to impossible in an engineering sense. A new hospital would be required. Schools and other facilities may be built, but they would lag behind the houses being built, causing over-subscription.

I think that it is very important to improve public transport. The improvement in rail transport is welcome, but the key has to be the frequency, reliability and reach of bus services. These have been cut back even in developed urban areas, e.g,., the No.1 route in Warwick and Leamington. I am also concerned about the impact of development on local roads, not just the motorways. Temporary traffic lights or an accident can cause gridlock in Warwick and Leamington. New fringe developments need access to routes that do not run through core urban areas and use existing A roads.

Development proposals should endeavour to deliver the infrastructure set out in the transport strategies outlined, but the SWC’s must acknowledge the ability and need for strategic scale sites to deliver infrastructure that is considered important to a local community but not formally identified within an IDP or other transport strategy. Regarding infrastructure requirements for strategic allocations, the SWCs should collaborate with those bringing the site’s forward to understand site-specific requirements. Allocations with overly onerous infrastructure requirements may delay the delivery of sites due to viability or feasibility concerns. Requirements for infrastructure should not undermine the deliverability of the plan.

The infrastructure necessary to accommodate new developments is often delayed or simply never provided. There are clearly, issues about the adequacy of the transport infrastructure in Warwick District. There are also questions about water and sewerage capacity and electricity capacity.

Infrastructure must be provided before areas are released for development. Every effort must be made to ensure that residential development is within easy access by sustainable methods of travel to minimise the reliance on the private car. Housing must be concentrated where there is non-car access to employment areas. A commitment is required that development will be cascaded down from new towns, access to non-car transport, easy access to the full range of infrastructure (ie health care, education, public transport, employment and retail) before development is carried out in rural settlements where the infrastructure is sub-standard

Where there are a number of smaller separate developments within/surrounding a settlement these must not be assessed individually for S106/S278/CIL monies as has been done historically but must be taken together so that the cumulative impact can be mitigated in a worthwhile and meaningful manner. Furthermore, the impact of new developments must take into account the deficiencies in existing infrastructure. Where bus provision has been made by S106 payments the service must not be allowed to be withdrawn at the end of the subsidy period without a thorough assessment of the implications of withdrawing that service, especially now that it is government intent to reduce car usage. The assessment of strategic infrastructure requirements must NOT be limited to new settlements, existing settlements also need infrastructure improvements.
SWLP IDP states that the Ellen Badger hospital in Shipston-on-Stour is undergoing a full rebuild. This is incorrect as it is not a full replacement of what there previously and it has not been confirmed yet whether there will be any in-patient beds or what services will be offered. This needs to be taken into account as part of the Draft Policy Direction 5. Furthermore the fire station in Shipston-on-Stour has been closed and the police presence in Shipston-on-Stour much reduced. It should be noted that Shipston-on-Stour does not have a Community Centre. It is noted in Figure 4.9 of the IDP that Shipston-on-Stour is annotated Amber, ie limited capacity during Local Plan period.
In the IDP section 4.7.2.4 “Water Supply and Sewerage” there is a fundamental flaw in policy whereby the developers are responsible for the drainage to their site boundary and their connection to the adopted sewer network and thereafter Severn Trent is responsible for the adopted sewer network and treatment works. There are numerous examples whereby a new development discharges into the existing adopted network which subsequently overloads and thus causes flooding, both surface water and foul water, to properties downstream of the development. Developers MUST be forced to assess the implications of their proposed development surface water and foul water discharges on the receiving networks to ensure property downstream of the development are NOT affected by the proposed development.

I do not believe the existing infrastructure is capable of servicing and supporting a development on the scale proposed in C1. The roads are inadequate and could not support very significant increases in traffic, many being too narrow to accommodate vehicles passing in opposite directions, especially larger vehicles and farm equipment.
Additionally the electricity network could not withstand the demand put upon it as it is already inadequate resulting in frequent and sometimes lengthy power cuts. There are no facilities for shopping, secondary schools and medical needs, the demand for which would result in significantly more traffic movements.

Based on recent global issues, instability, resource cost trends and locally, huge delay/overspend with Hs2/A46 bridge as a local example and with building costs still escalating, I have little confidence that required investment will be made, especially by developers.

Worse case, work will start without guarantees and then plans abandoned - by this point destruction of ancient landscape cannot be reversed.

Traffic infrastructure may be met in some sites but at BW it would take years and in excess of £250 million to upgrade one road the A46. The disruption and investment do not make any sense. The only reason this site has been considered is due to the ease of land availability via the Call for Sites scoping exercise. Not a sound reason for massive traffic congestion in an already overloaded road infrastructure.

The existing infrastructure is inadequate with the amount off traffic going into Stratford currently at peak times and the height of the tourist season.

Southam Town, District and County elected representatives agree with a detailed infrastructure Delivery Plan but:
1. The timing of infrastructure delivery must align with the timing of local needs increasing.
2. The impact on Southam College of residential developments within and outside Southam will be significant. However the college site is constrained by poor road and cycle access, parking and no spare sports field. Welsh Road West has no possibility for widening or cycle lanes so this can only be relieved if an expansion west of the college includes a new access road to A423 with pick-up and drop-off zones.

Agree in principle, however:
The economics of settlement construction will result in the LPA coming under pressure from contractors to allow home occupancy to precede the provision of essential infrastructure.
This would result in overloading schools, medical facilities, emergency services as well as transport and other infrastructure to the detriment of new, as well as existing residents.
Means to resist such pressure must be included in the final policy.
