B1/SG07 - limited infrastructure provision at present. Much data is missing to fully respond to this Draft Policy eg: Energy Demands and Capacity.
Consider: solar panels, ground source heat pumps, electricity as the only fuel?
No gas at Hatton Station and it was deemed far too expensive to have been put in when it was last reviewed.
Local present substations inadequate for electricity provision for homes let alone services eg; schools.
Sewerage management at Hatton Station is a considerable issue - often blockages!
Drainage - local lanes flood, Dark Lane L3 flood risk

It should be a prerequisite that any additional infrastructure required in relation to the development of any particular site is completed prior to the development being progressed. This would prevent developers reneging on their responsibilities and leaving infrastructure inadequate.

I am particularly concerned that current development have a complete lack of infrastructure provision. The result being completely sterile developments. As examples Union View at Hatton Park. There is absolutely zero infrastructure provision along side the total lack of infrastructure in Hatton Park. Long Marston, 350 homes built out of 3500 planned, no infrastructure. This was planned over 20 years ago when I came to the area including a Tram into Stratford upon Avon. All talk of infrastructure is fake. You need to assure infrastructure before anything is built.

There are faults in the basic processes of planning in the SWLP. First, it is impossible for the DCs to deliver on ‘ensuring development is supported by infrastructure’ in strategic objective 3. DCs have no powers to obtain binding commitments from local infrastructure providers. Secondly, it is increasingly expensive for DCs to defend appeals on unwanted development; the value of a plan under these circumstances is questionable. Thirdly, HEVAA criteria seem to be failing in respect of difficulties of site access; site 712 demonstrates this clearly.

As far as possible infrastructure should be planned in and built before the occupation of any new houses. In the Land East of Kenilworth hundreds of houses have been built before the completion of adequate foot and cycle paths and roadways causing significant stress for the new inhabitants.

(1) this statement implies the critical technical work to justify the plan is not in place, and
(2) why should the IDP being 'live' only apply up to submission and not be continuous even post adoption?

I do not agree with the upgrading of the A46. This will in affect make it into a motorway and will only induce more road traffic leading to more pollution and emissions and less sustainable travel.
There is no priority given to enhancing the rail network by reinstating rail links such as Stratford Honeybourne which would be the most important step towards the strategic objective of sustainable travel.

The need to build is agreed but it is vital that drainage and provision of water is taken as NUMBER ONE infrastructure project. Pillerton Hersey has been badly flooded 4 times this winter and there is often a shortage of water in the summer. The antiquated sewage works at Butlers Marston was considered overburdened in 2019. Drains and flood water coming downhill from Priors to Hersey cause further flooding.
Also infrastructure eg Doctors surgeries and Schools MUST be built along with more houses.
Large number of houses in Shipston will certainly cause further flooding in wet winters.

Experience has shown that development in the Alcester/Bidford area has not resulted in any of the s106 monies being allocated to Alcester/Bidford. The local comprehensive school (Alcester Academy) is already unable to accommodate all the students wanting to attend and Warwickshire council's response has been to force them to a faith school regardless of the parent and child's belief. All students at St Benedicts are required to follow Catholic rules and opting out is not an option.

I agree with a detailed infrastructure delivery plan but infrastructure must be secured via S106 and S278 and delivered prior to development starting. Developers need to provide the necessary infrastructure (medical and education facilities, public transport, community facilities and such like) prior to building out new estates/settlements.

The infrastructure is needed before the major housing schemes are approved.
No more 'you'll get it in time' because to date we haven't, so road, cycle ways, schooling, sewage, electricity needs to be in place before or at the same time as development not some time later.
One example: the Welford on Avon sewage system is completely inadequate - at time of heavy rain we've had RAW SEWAGE COMING FROM DRAINS IN 4 PLACES IN THE VILLAGE.

SG20 - Ardens Grafton. Growth development is not suitable as it is not supported by necessary infrastructure. This is a non-serviced area. There is no connected gas, no supporting bus or local train networks. Traffic is over populated around the area especially when the A46 and B439 are being overused and where accidents or near accidents regularly occur. This is hazardous when people try to bypass black spots via Ardens Grafton which has narrow roads, no footpaths or street lighting and is frequently used by horse riders, walkers and farmers moving agricultural equipment around. Flooding in area is frequent.

As sated in a previous response. Regarding the house building we have seen in Kenilworth in recent years infrastructure has been seriously lacking.
We have 3 or 4 big housing estates with no improved cycling or walking facilities.
We have been asking the council to create cycle ways to the new school which have not yet materialised.
The Kenilworth Gate development does not even have a crossing point so people can walk.
So In conclusion Infrastructure improvements must be a precursor to building, not an after thought.

Planners have been far too weak in the past when dealing with developers. The Draft Policy must include a requirement to demand local infrastructure is paid for by developers. This can be achieved by paying less for land which previously offered an easy windfall profit for owners. Local authorities should also play a bigger part in assisting small communities when dealing with developers who all too frequently make promises which they later seek to avoid. Solar Farm developers being among the worst offenders.

With regard to the Bearley/Wilmcote area plan, there is absolutely no possibility that sufficient infrastructure could be provided to meet the needs of 10,000+ vehicle movements a day into and out of this settlement without utterly overloading the area's road, cycle path, foot path and rail network. There is no possibility that Stratford's infrastructure could be improved/expanded to support a settlement of this size.

The very idea that the changes necessary to the infrastructure will be funded or provided is almost laughable.
One only has to look at the barren and unsightly developments to the south of Leamington to see the reality of what will be done - absolutely nothing other than some tinkering with a few road junctions as a result of section 106 agreements which in turn increase the cost of the hosing being built.

There appears to be a lack of infrastructure planning and key stakeholders must be consulted: Severn Trent for water distribution and sewerage capacity as is it already inadequate; Highways and Road Safety as Barford's roads are frequently congested, especially during school runs, with the high street limited to one lane throughout 24 hours due to residential parked cars and the proposed quarry development was not factored into the settlement plans, with additional pressure on infrastructure. Without proper infrastructure, the development site/housing settlements in X1 risks overwhelming local utilities and amenities, causing long term issues for both new and existing residents.

Infrastructure needs to be improved before housing planning is in place. It cannot be left open to ‘as when needed’ Plans need to be in place for gp surgeries, pharmacies, schools, hospitals, transport systems, flood defence, conservation and community services before any of these plans can go ahead, not during development .

Gladman have no objection to the inclusion of this draft policy as all development which would cause an impact on local infrastructure should be mitigated through the provision of financial contributions, subject to their compliance with the CIL tests.
Development is only required to mitigate its own impacts and cannot be required to address existing issues and shortfalls in provision. Any policy wording in the Plan for Section 106 agreements will need to ensure decision makers consider the need for infrastructure requirements at the time of making the decision. Planning obligations be necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms, directly related to the development; and fairly and reasonably related in scale and kind to the development.

I have absolutely ZERO belief that the council can deliver infrastructure in line with housing development. Traffic congestion is getting worse, traffic infrastructure has not kept up with the scale of development and it looks as if modelling where people live v where they work has not been carried out effectively. Schools, hospitals and parking never seem to catch up with the huge rises in population that have been and are being planned
