Wellesbourne already had several large estates built in recent years and the infrastructure can’t cope. Schools are now oversubscribed, there are power and water issues, there is no access to rail services, poor bus services and all this would add to the existing traffic problems. There is also risk of flooding.

The destruction of the UK's General Aviation airfields is a dreadful mistake and failure of long term planning and industrial strategy.
It is clear that multi rota drones transporting goods across the whole of the nations airspace in any direction is both an accident waiting to happen and technically difficult. However, Electric and other alternative fueled fixed wing aircraft and drones could have a great future, but they need tarmac runways. To dig them all up for other projects will probably lead to them all needed to be replaced. Save Wellesbourne Airfield!

The houses are not needed. Stratford District already has sufficient housing stocks agreed already.. It will change the whole feel of Wellesbourne from a village to a massive development. We do not have the local infrastructure in terms of doctors. Schools etc. The additional traffic and pollution would be intolerable. It is already unbearable on Saturdays in summer with the village becoming gridlocked due to the market. Perhaps time and effort could be directed to solving that issue by the council? It will change the whole rural landscape. I strongly object to this application as a resident of Wellesbourne.

The site does not align with the stated objectives for sustainable development as any further development will only negatively impact what little flora and fauna currently clings on amidst a cacophony of human activity. The site does not have adequate access to suitable infrastructure, local amenities, and public transport, and would inevitably lead to increased destruction of the natural world in a country which is already one of the most nature depleted countries in the world.

I'm a resident of Wellesbourne and am extremely concerned about the provision of schooling, both Primary and Secondary, in the village should expansion plans go ahead. The local Primary school is already over capacity (some children living in Wellesbourne cannot get a space even as their first choice school). There seems to be no consideration of issues around the impact on demand for school places that will come with this scale of development , as well as increased pressure on local services including doctors and dentist.
Flood risk - area is already vulnerable, further development would increase runoff and flooding.

Schools full to capacity. Pupils being offered places outside the village. Doctors,dentist and other health services already stretched to the limit. No capacity for 300+more patients. Access to proposal on a c road therefore unsafe and impractical. 300+ more vehicles added to the already very busy roads throughout the village. Plus increase in pollution to the air. Detrimental effect on wildlife. On proposed site there are regularly hares,deer,foxes,birds of prey to name a few. Inadequate proposals for drainage,paths,bus routes, play areas.Already several areas that flood,this proposal will increase that risk.Drainage system not sufficient to cope with so many more houses.

Development should prioritise brownfield sites over Green Belt land. Urban and previously developed areas already have infrastructure in place, reducing pressure on roads, schools, and healthcare. These sites are closer to transport links and jobs, making them more sustainable. Using brownfield land prevents environmental damage, protects biodiversity, and preserves historic landscapes. It also helps maintain community identity by preventing urban sprawl. Additionally, brownfield areas are often better suited for flood mitigation. By focusing on these locations, new housing can be delivered responsibly without harming the countryside or overburdening local services.

New development should focus on previously developed sites, not destroy protected Green Belt land. Urban and repurposed areas already have infrastructure in place, preventing additional strain on roads, schools, and healthcare. These locations are also closer to transport links and jobs, making them more sustainable. Using non-Green Belt land prevents irreversible environmental harm, safeguards biodiversity, and preserves important landscapes. It also protects communities from urban sprawl and helps to prevent flooding. By focusing on these sites, new housing can be delivered in a responsible way—without sacrificing the countryside or placing unbearable pressure on already stretched local services.

New housing should be developed on land that has already been built on, not on protected Green Belt land. Urban areas and brownfield sites already have the infrastructure to support new developments, reducing the pressure on roads, schools, and healthcare.
Building in non-Green Belt areas also means:
• Less environmental damage and better protection for wildlife.
• More sustainable transport options, reducing long commutes and carbon emissions.
• Preventing towns and villages from merging and losing their unique identities.
• Reducing flood risks caused by overdevelopment.
Destroying the Green Belt isn’t the answer—there are much better options available.

Wellesbourne's growth has already been vast & the infrastructure & facilities do not allow for further expansion. Wellesbourne is fast losing it's village status. The Doctors, Dental Surgery & Wellesbourne school cannot accommodate the huge influx in residents that this proposal will bring. The green belt is not only vital from a visual point of view for the village but also for the wildlife & flood protection that it offers. Building in areas where there is already a recognised flood issue is just nonsensical. Already struggling roads, proposed quarry; safety is paramount & this is negligent.

Extremely concerned it will have a huge impact on Wellesbourne Wood which qualifies for LWS status as detailed in a report undertaken by Camille Newton in 2021 and provided to Warks CC.
Impact on water runoff and increased flood risk.
Road network already overwhelmed, further traffic will increase congestion, pollution and air quality.
Village will be turned into a town stripping it of its character and community which at the moment is very strong.
Health care already under extreme pressure in the village.
Irreversible harm will be done to the village and to the historic Wellesbourne Wood

SG17 wouldn't accord with principles of sustainable development underpinning national/local planning policy. Shipston has a small town centre, but otherwise SG17 wouldn't satisfy the chosen growth strategy's 4 elements. Would be dispersed development, exacerbating existing patterns of travel by private car for employment, post-16 education, hospitals, shopping etc, due to absence of such local infrastructure and negligible public transport.
Sites east of river especially unsuitable due to: flood risk; separation from existing town - no sense of place & isolating for residents; poor road access/2 narrow bridges unsafe for pedestrians/cyclists; harm to Cotswolds AONB; loss of valuable recycling facility

I profoundly disagree with this proposal affecting this area.
I and my family have lived in the Conservation Area village of Newbold Pacey for 40 years.
I work in the Coventry and the reason that we chose to live in this beautiful historic rural place is to gain a peaceful existence after a busy working day.
To think that this would be so dramatically compromised is both deeply upsetting and also unbelievable that it is even being considered.
Also, we must not reduce our agricultural productive land any further , even if it is of the lower quality type.

Objection to Housing Development – Site Ref 623: Lowes Lane/Walton Road, Wellesbourne (Well.07B)
I am writing to express my strong objection to the proposed housing development on the field located behind “Long Ground” and “The Old Orchard” along Lowes Lane in Wellesbourne (Site Ref 623: Lowes Lane/Walton Road – Well.07B). This site is wholly unsuitable for residential development.
Wellesbourne has already experienced substantial expansion in recent years, leading to increased flood risks, traffic congestion, and pressure on local services. This proposal would worsen all these issues, while also damaging the historic character of the village and removing an important floodplain. Given the clear environmental, safety, and infrastructure concerns, I strongly urge you to reject this proposal and ensure future development is conducted in a way that respects Wellesbourne’s unique heritage, natural landscape, and community needs.

I strongly disagree. Urbanising this area is simply immoral given that it is a beauty spot and does not require more low cost, high maintenance housing. This is an area of historical significance particularly near the medieval villages of Newbold Pacey which is already being ruined by the construction of Solar Panels. The proposed plans will also have a significant effect on the wildlife.

The scale of development is not only disproportionate but also fundamentally incompatible with the character, infrastructure, and environmental sustainability of the area. One concern is the irreversible loss of Wellesbourne’s rural identity. The proposed construction would alter the landscape, erasing open countryside and scenic beauty that define the village. The risk of increased flooding is another issue. The area already experiences vulnerabilities in surface water management, and further development would exacerbate the problem by reducing natural drainage capacity. There is no clear provision for the expansion of essential public services. Local schools and healthcare facilities are already operating at capacity.

Recent development at Wellesbourne provides suburban sprawl of housing not affordable or suited to 20-40 year olds in their early career, despite the motor and academic interests in the area.
SG16 threatens to increase Wellesbourne's sprawl and ruin the rural character, Charlecote, and Loxley - very much to the detriment of Stratford-On_Avon. It would also require massive changes to local roads to cope with the traffic.
However the eastern third of SG16 would provide enough land to provide housing suited to singles, couples and young families if built at 160 dwellings per hectare.

Growth in this area would align closely with the chosen Spatial Strategy of locating development based on the Sustainable Travel and Economy hybrid Spatial Growth Strategy.
We recognise that not all of SG16 may be considered necessary for inclusion within the Plan, and that the Councils may choose part of SG16. Our Site 506 is considered to be among the best related to the existing settlement, with excellent connections into the town centre. The built form would integrate well into the existing pattern of development around the settlement fringe, and fill a gap between the existing development and the river.

Area is valuable agricultural land and its loss will irreparably harm rural character of area. Roads cannot support the extra traffic. A429 and Longbridge already overloaded at peak times. Road widening and building will not alleviate this. Development would damage landscape archaeology and be to the detriment of residential amenity. Area rich in medieval and earlier archaeology. The beauty and setting of Charlecote, a heritage site (important to local economy), would be harmed. This will set a precedent for unsightly and polluting urban sprawl between Leamington and Wellesbourne, with consequent loss of residential amenity and agricultural land, flora and fauna.

STC supports SG16 and SG15 as key locations for strategic greenfield development alongside larger town expansion. With strong transport links and nearby employment, including Wellesbourne and the University of Warwick campus, growth must be infrastructure-led to ensure sustainability, with schools, healthcare, community facilities, shops, parks, and transport links. Further refinement is needed before inclusion in future proposals.

I object to the proposed plans. Wellesbourne already does not have adequate education and health facilities for the current residents, let alone more houses. The plans will also have a significant impact on pollution of the are due to the increased number of vehicles, which will be exasperated by the poor public transport options.
