There is no road access to the Barford site 712 only a footpath used by walkers to exercise their dogs etc. Church Lane leads to this footpath but is just a single vehicle lane with no pavement and no way of widening due to the proximity of church land and private gardens. I attach photos to illustrate this. Children use this road to walk from the primary school to the Barford playing field so any extra vehicles would be a major safety concern for them.

SG22. The land is farmed green belt and we need to keep food production. The noise and air pollution is already bad and the increase in traffic would be horrendous on the country roads. The junctions each end the A448 are already over capacity at peak times, with long queues of traffic. It would increase Studley's population by about 40%; the doctors and local schools are already over-subscribed with waiting lists and there is no NHS Dentist. It would detrimentally affect wildlife. Studley, Middletown and Sambourne would lose their village identities. There is no public transport within walking distance.

Fell Mill to Shipston is single track and used by agricultural machinery-infrastructure would be too expensive for the Council-if covered by a Section 106 agreement would make any development financially unsustainable - Fell Mill road to Tysoe is single track and there has been one fatality on the road and numerous accidents. there are no local buses and there will be an increase in traffic.

Site 712 - Land on the East side of Church Lane, Barford

There are severe difficulties in using single-track Church Lane as an access to this site. Increased traffic resulting from a five-fold increase in the housing accessed through the lane will pose a risk to pedestrians walking to the school and to King George field. One third of the proposed site and all of Church lane itself lies within Barford Conservation Area. Five grade II listed buildings are in Church Lane. Much of the site is occupied by mature specimen trees, which were planted as part of an arboretum.

I object to proposed sites 148 and 747. Traffic from these sites would use unsuitable narrow lanes, not meant for high volumes of traffic and has many pedestrians. Both these sites are already in a flood risk area. With increasing climate change this will only get worse. The local infrastructure is already full to capacity. Very little public transport making people use their cars which is extremely bad for the environment. I understand that the Government has to build more housing but there are other proposed sites that would be far more suitable.

514 Station Lane
The lane is narrow and lacks pavement. The station is nearby but service is very limited. I doubt whether Chiltern will want to stop much more frequently slowing down its traffic. The school is virtually full and the GP Surgery is now at full capacity. Few/no jobs locally so cars essential and getting in and out of Kingswood means narrow roads and lanes, canal bridges and narrow railway bridge. Rising Lane already very busy due to number of visitors to Baddesley Clinton and Packwood NT properties. More cars on Station Lane going past school would be dangerous

I object to the proposed development sites 148 and 747:
This area has a history of considerable flooding with many new and old houses being affected. Also including open land and flooding from the River Stour. I am reliably informed, due to ongoing climate change, this problem will continue to increase.
The main roads have additional flooding and any obstructions including never ending road works cause congestion which sends cars, trucks, intercontinental lorries etc onto very narrow local lanes with considerable damage and danger to the many pedestrians and cyclists.
This area is completely unsuitable for more new housing.

SG - BW - Bearley Wilmcote: The road and public transport infrastructure do not predispose to additional usage. It is doubtful that West Midlands trains would want to increase service frequency and the bus access is risible. The land and roads already flood and there is no opportunity for safe run off should more housing be built as this reduces land permeability. Additional schools and health facilities are needed but would be impossible to staff - as evidenced by existing recruitment and retention issues. No need to build over open countryside and there is no justification for more housing.

Ymatebydd: Mr Michael Checkley

The development of the areas identified as part of SG17 would have a detrimental impact on the area for the following reasons:
1. Detrimental impact upon residential amenity – there is already poor access to infrastructure such as GP surgeries, retail provision, schools, and employment opportunities. Additional housing in SG17 would place an unacceptable burden on Shipston on Stour.
2. Impact on traffic and highways – the road network surrounding the potential SG17 growth location is insufficient. Specifically Shoulderway Lane and Fell Mill Lane are small rural roads with poor access to the regional road network. The existing rural roads bordering the SG17 locations are well used leisure routes for pedestrians and cyclists.
3. Drainage and flooding – many of the areas within SG17 are prone to drainage and flooding problems, especially the area to the west of Fell Mill Lane which regularly floods. To consider building homes on this area would be very ill advised. Additionally, the extra development to the area of SG17 off Shoulderway Lane would risk causing surface water drainage impacts to existing housing on London Road due to the increased amount of impermeable surface area in place of previously permeable green field land.
4. Electrical capacity in Shipston is unlikely to be sufficient for such an influx of new homes which would likely require EV charging and capacity to support air source heat pumps as low carbon heating.
5. Carbon emissions – development on the scale implied by SG17 will result in a significant rise in carbon emissions both from the use of homes and from the transport requirements of residents. There is no rail connection and public transport is scant suggesting road traffic emissions would soar.
6. Impact on the environment – development within SG17 would lead to the loss of valuable and well sued green space and amenity areas such as the recently established River Stour walk.
7. Employment opportunities – there are very few employment opportunities in Shipston which suggests additional residential development within the town would mean Shipston increasingly would become a dormitory town which would only benefit in a minor way from such an influx of new residents.

The BW Site 673 HELAA results need revisiting on 3 aspects - accessibility, surface water flooding and impact on wildlife sites. The land has very restricted single lane access via Church lane that cannot be increased. There is consistent flooding from water emanating at the Bearley Farm site, to houses on Church lane. And the land at Bearley Farm and all land that surrounds it is full of both common and rare wildlife. None of this appears correctly represented in the HELAA results.

The land at Site ref 880 and ref 757 is completely unsuitable for development. The only access to the B4098 would be on to a 50mph road, with visibility limited by the 90 degree 's' bends on approach to the village (already an accident hot spot). This is a rural agricultural greenbelt field, home to deer, bats and buzzards. The secondary education score should be revisited as public transport is very limited and the only walking/cyling route is on a rural 50mph unlit road.

I am submitting comments for the Local Plan Consultation regarding sites 148 Fell Mill Lane and 747 Leasow Farm. The area is prone to flooding, which affects access routes. Fell Mill Lane and local bridges are unsuitable for increased traffic due to their single-track nature and historic significance. Environmental concerns arise from potential harm to public footpaths and the nearby Cotswolds AONB. Additionally, public transport is infrequent, schools are overstretched, and health services are under pressure. Access to the A3400 is via unsuitable roads, increasing the risk of accidents.

I have serious objections to the site SG07 proposal and the Housing Land Availability Assessment results for Hatton New Community. I am concerned about the environmental impact on local biodiversity, increased traffic congestion due to inadequate public transport, and the strain on existing infrastructure such as schools and healthcare. Additionally, the site poses flood risks and could harm cultural heritage. I urge the planning committee to reconsider this development, as the negative impacts on the environment and community well-being outweigh any potential benefits.

Sites 880 Land to the north of B4098 and 757 Land adj B4089 are both unsuitable for development for housing. You would not be able to provide a safe access on to the B4089 at this location due to the poor visibility around the S-bends at the south-west extent of the village. Both fields contribute to the flooding of the B4089 when there are no crops and this would worsen if the permeable surfaces were replaced with impermeable. Safe access to schools has not been considered in your HELAA Part B scoring.

As well as being high quality, productive farm land, it contributes to the standard of living that attract people to the area.

In reference to REFID 880 this site is extending the village outwards from the centre as some of the other suggested Great Alne sites do. There is no safe way to cycle to the high schools in Alcester as the road is 50mph that is unlit, also as the road is unlit and it's not ideal for high school children to walk along.
For other sites suggested in Great Alne, site REFID 650 would be a better use of land, this would fill in the village, creating a link between the west and east of the village.
