I broadly agree with the policy but criticise the insufficient details on funding new infrastructure. I stress that developers should be legally bound to contribute significantly to infrastructure costs when granted development permissions, to prevent taxpayers from bearing these expenses.

Whilst some points made are good we are concerned about the proposal that the South Western Relief Road in Stratfor should come to Wellesbourne. The A429 in Wellesbourne is already under immense pressure and this will increase with the development of the University Campus at Wellesbourne and the proposed quarry. Should the SG15 and 16 areas come to fruition they would cause greater pressure.

As with most sections of this plan, there are elements of this that I support whole heartily, others that I cannot see add value to the residents of Stratford.
e.g. Gyratory Improvements - though this needs improvement, nothing should be done in order to increase the flow of traffic over Clopton bridge, and therefore down Tiddington, Shipston or Banbury road - effort should be on reducing traffic moving through town.

The Infrastructure around Stratford upon Avon is already at breaking point. Sewage, Water supply have not been able to cope with the new housing so far. Roads are congested more at busy times. Villages become rat runs for vehicles trying to avoid congestion, Making the small back roads dangerous. The Wilmcote to Bearley plan will just cause havoc to the existing infrastructure without hundreds of millions of pounds to even try to get the existing schemes under control.

Object to safeguarding for reinstatement of railway. Reports over years have indicated this is not a feasible infrastructure solution. Costs (particularly financial) are too great and the benefits insufficient. There are cheaper solutions - some mentioned in SWLP such as the Vectos and Jacobs reports. I particularly commend the Jacobs report where it seeks improving the existing cycle route and changing it to run fully along old railway under Alcester Road and to the station. This links the schools to North Stratford and improves routes to the town centre. Time to remove the safeguarding of the old railway.

Traffic congestion is already problematic around Stratford.
The Greenway route is an attractive and well used cycleway and footpath between Stratford and Meon Vale, this should be safeguraded. It was one of the key selling points to many who have moved here already

Of course greater transport provision will need to occur but this needs to be in place at the same time as the sites are developed and existing roads need to be improved. Plus speed limits and speed bumps need to be considered in order to stop areas becoming rat runs e.g roads in and out of Ashorne should be a maximum of 30 mph - traffic levels have already increased and this is only going to get worse especially as many houses only have road parking.

This discussion is intrinsically linked to my opposition to the development proposed at SG19. Unless sufficient infrastructure is created then all of the proposed new building will simply result in catastrophic increase in traffic density. That is on top of what is already ruinous to the town. As a Shipston Road resident of 25 years, I have seen the town almost disintegrate under the weight of traffic, heavy lorries, speeding vehicles and very poor maintenance of roads. The key issue however is of course the South Western Relief Road. This MUST be in place before any further housing is built.

Wellesbourne Airfield is existing infrastructure which should be protected and safeguarded in order for it to continue to contribute to the transport network of the two districts and for this contribution to grow over time.
Its specific identification in this Draft Local Plan will ensure that any development proposals which could compromise its operations will be strongly resisted.
As Wellesbourne Airfield is identified as a Major Investment Site but is also an existing transportation infrastructure asset, it is strongly recommended that it is specifically referred to in the list of such assets below Draft Policy Direction 6.

I do not agree with the proposed South western Relief Road. I agree with safeguarding the route of the former railway south of Stratford-upon-Avon to Honeybourne to facilitate re-opening. As a general principle the council should not be building major roads, but should look at establishing rail links to new/growth settlement areas in line with its commitment to net zero.

The purpose of "Stratford to Honeybourne former railway – safeguarding the route of the former railway south of Stratford-upon-Avon to Honeybourne to facilitate re-opening" opens up into a completely irrational project that has been tried and rejected before.
It was then pointed out that even at highly subsidised ticket prices, this railway line could never be viable. At the time, they even came up with having DB Schenker as an investor, for a line with, as they said, *purely passenger traffic*. Imagine DB's good hearts!
Safeguard our Greenway and its recreational use! The Honeybourne Project is a dead egg.

The Greenway is essential for the public to walk cycle and enjoy and it clearly cannot be shared with a railway. Apart from disrupting the enironmetn - lot of wildlife there etc it would be a completely negative step and exceptionally costly. it has been proved beyond doubt and I cannot underastand why it is being again. Noise, and stress will be the result. And frankly despite the representation of a certain group to bring this about it will only lead ultimatelty to freight being used.

Park and Ride at Blackdown roundabout - I’m not aware of any available land at this site and the roundabout is not of sufficient size to cope with a Park and Ride scheme.
The A46 exit to the A452 into Leamington is very narrow with bollards in the centre of the road this would not be a suitable route for Park and Ride vehicles.

Agree in principal with the Draft Policy but the recommendations need to to maintained. Too many proposals in the past have been made and then compromised. Several years ago there was an East bypass over the river Avon that was supposed to be completed before further housing went ahead south of the River Avon. This never happened and Clopton Bridge is overloaded with traffic and if it had to be repaired traffic would come to a stand still.
Giving up the rail wayleaf from the Stratford going South has cut off the link south and reduced the capacity.

The transport and infrastructure proposals need to integrate the impact from proposed major developments and where future demand could be placed on road junctions, stations, motorway access, minor roads, weak and narrow bridges in the countryside. The fact that a canal is considered a transport route is somewhat surprising as canals ceased to be major transport routes in the 18th century and fell in to general disrepair. Canal towpaths in the countryside are not suitable for active travel and should not be considered for transport connectivity purposes.

Stratford-on-Avon District safeguarding should include a policy direction to include the safeguarding of land to facilitate double tracking the rail line between Bearley and Hatton.
The "M40/A46 Opportunity Area"(Figure 9) should be widened to include the Chiltern Line railway, and relabelled to reflect the sustainable nature of the location.
The emerging evidence base in relation to a potential relief road for Stratford-upon-Avon refers to three transport studies. In fact these studies are primarily focussed on internalisation of trips at Long Marston, and not on delivering a viable transport solution for residents there.

I broadly agree with the approach set out in Draft Policy Direction 6. However, I believe that it should explicitly include provision for improved walking and cycling routes into town centres. For example, the canal bank north of Stratford should be improved and included as a strategic walking and cycling route into Stratford, and, as such, land adjacent to the canal and towpath should be safeguarded to ensure that there is sufficient space for it to be improved. In addition, space should be provided in the town centre for cycle racks, e.g. adjacent to the railway station, near Bridge Street.

Provision of sustainable, low carbon transport infrastructure is key to providing a good standard of living whilst balancing low environmental impact.
Significant long term investment in Rail & Mass Transit is vital, and where road transport is necessary then the infrastructure needs to be carefully designed to increase throughput whilst also ensuring safety for travellers.
To minimise the impact of vehicle travel on air pollution, the road infrastructure needs to be developed to enable constant speeds to be maintained where possible, and avoid accelerating/braking (which would be a source of PM2.5 pollution even if all vehicles were battery electric)
