I strongly disagree with the planning proposals
- Medical centre is already overstretched
- Schools also overstretched
- Area prone to flooding
- Congestion increase to town centre already bad will derease quality of life
- Flooding potential
- Public transport already poor will be made worse
- Closure of recycling facility will increase fly tipping
- Where will the new people work?
Shipston has already been over developed!

Area of outstanding beauty further blighted by huge development stealing ‘also’ good arable from land.
Poor road infrastructure with single file necessary in 2 main arteries, one on New Street (conservation area) where it turns into The London Road and on Old Road, where traffic speeds through on a heavy residential street.
Schools too small and the upper school has no 6th form and is (under performing).
Doctor’s office, full to the brim. Long waits for appointments.
Historic town which relies on butcher, grocer, fishmonger, deli’s, small super markets, 1 Tesco express. Poor parking, no bank.

The recent effect of new builds on infrastructure provides enough evidence already of over-development.

Highway access to Shipston from East, West and South is practically single-lane. Developments are too far out of town for non-car residents, and parking is at a premium. As a result shoppers head for out-of-town stores and traders report no uplift in business as population has increased. HSBC and Lloyds Banks are exiting, leaving gaps in Shipston's unique square.

The effect of any of the proposed new developments on this SMALL MARKET TOWN will be to further STRANGLE the life out of it.

I do not agree with the number of new houses proposed for Shipston on Stour on the grounds that the infrastructure of our small market town can not cope at the moment as it is. We have had problems with sewerage, flooding, schools are already over subscribed, doctors appointments, not to mention the hospital which is not going to provide us with beds etc etc. Then we get on to the subject of no supermarket which is a joke for a town of the size we have reached. It’s all such a shame to spoil our lovely town.

Infrastructure issues - one way system, bridges and narrow roads - congestion will increase.
Inadequate bus service to get to Banbury, SoA or Leam' - cars will be used .. more congestion etc
Increasing the flood risk further especially as some sites are on flood zones.
Removing the tip, with an increase in people will result in fly tipping.
Health and other essential services are already inadequate for the community.
Schools are over-subscribed and no 6th form.
Further exacerbation of the inadequate leisure centre/exercise opportunities with increased population. We already lack enough green space and this will decrease further.

Shipston is already too large and the local schooling and medical amenities and infrastructure have become inadequate. Any further development will compound the problem. Site refs 148 and 747 are in flood zones 3 and 2 and the river Stour floods fairly frequently. Single track bridges at Barcheston and Honington and the one-way system in Shipston is currently struggling with the volume of traffic and are highly unsuitable for any increase in traffic. There are no job opportunities in Shipston.

Shipston does not have the capacity for more houses, nor do we want more. Building on a flood plain is a horrible idea and will only lead to issues with runoff for existing residents. We already lack green spaces for locals and the proposal to use this land for yet more houses is abhorrent. We do not have the services or capacity to support the extra influx of people. The town gets gridlocked as it is, the extra houses will only put even further strain on local services and infrastructure.

Increased flood risk to the town, 42% of fell mill site (148, 747) is in flood zones 3 & 2.
Additional strain on town amenities which are already stretched. Impact on the area of natural beauty and habitat. The bridge in Shipston floods frequently and would cut off these houses from the town amenities. Single wide bridge is not suitable for the level of development being suggested and additional amount of traffic. There are already numerous sewerage and drainage issues in the town caused by mismanagement of development and failure to upgrade infrastructure.

Shipston, like all ancient towns and villages, is built by a river. With climate change and increased rainfall, instant run-off from roof's and hard standing goes into the river Stour - increasing flooding risk for every settlement downstream. Sewerage plant already has problems. Crossing the Stour on the single track Honington, or Shipston bridge is not going to be easy for the increased traffic. As plans for growth increase, services decrease! - Lloyds Bank closing, tip closing, no hospital with beds, GP surgery already stretched, no more room for children at primary school, no sixth form at high school.

Most of the proposed land is unsuitable for development. The bulk of the land east of Shipston is outside the town's boundary and is part of the parish of Barcheston/ Willington, which does not support additional housing. The requirement of major roadworks, to provide access, and the need for a new bridge to facilitate access have not been mentioned. No mention plans for additional schools and medical services. Shipston has had its services reduced despite additional growth in population. Little or no thought for the population with regard to their safety, particularly from flooding. This is totally unacceptable.

Shipston lacks the facilities to support the current population, by means of insufficient schools (primary and secondary) and public transport. There are infrequent bus services making car use essential - our roadways are already struggling with the single track roads and bridges at Honnington and Barcheston being choke points for traffic already. Our market square is also part of a conservation zone which will see higher demand and congestion.
Shipston is highly susceptible to flooding and 42% of the Fell Mill site (Refs. 148, 747) are in flood zones 3&2.

There is sufficient housing already for Shipston needs. Pollution will increase considerably, as will flooding, biodiversity will be lost. Roads will become gridlocked and dangerous to use as a motorist and on foot, especially children going to and from school as will add consideable number of extra cars to through traffic . All building will be on green belt land NOT brownfield sites, thus losing productive farm land at a time when we need food security. There is no longer a hospital, the medical centre has never enlarged, the fire station has been closed and the bank. NO MORE HOUSES

1. Sewerage is a major current issue. we know from current expansion of houses this will only increase the problem.
2. The bridge out to Brailles Road will not be able to cope with this level of proposed traffic.
3. Most concerning, our doctors surgery has great difficulty coping with the current level of patients, and will not be able to cope with any further.
4. Shipston has experienced severe flooding to date, and this proposal on flood plane can only increase the risk of further severe and catastrophic flooding.
5. Jobs and schools - capacity issue.

Shipston is an already struggling town with INADEQUATE facilities which have been put under extreme pressure due to previous expansion. As a result, it struggles with flooding, a sewage system which is over capacited and heavy traffic through a narrow one way system. Health services are struggling, school places for families cannot be guaranteed and there are minimal job opportunities. Shipston is not in easy reach of major hubs and provides poor transport links with no train station and at best an infrequent bus service.
Further expansion would destroy the heart of this historic town and would be totally irresponsible!

Shipston was an important employment centre to our surrounding villages and the town itself. That's all gone. This in turn means that households have to commute for work, minimum of two cars. Families in turn grow up and that adds further vehicles onto pony and trap sized lanes and roads coupled with inconsiderate parking and driving
and roads are in a dangerous state, adding more cars is ridiculous.
farm land has to be managed, no consideration seems to be taken to how water runs off the land this will run into rivers which are not maintained or properly managed.

Shipston on Stour does not have facilities for any further housing or populations, there suitable doctors and dental surgeries for any further population, the secondary school is at capacity, there is little employment within or near the town. Ref 148 & 747 regular floods which closes access via the bridge and could potentially mean an huge amount of traffic travelling via Honington or Willington to access an already congested and chaotic town centre.

Ref 148/747 Shipston on stour has few resources, schools, dental practices, doctors are at full capacity. Hospital has no beds, 999 calls have up to a two hour wait.

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 (site ref 173) and Fell Mill Lane (site ref 148) 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 (site ref 148) which regularly floods extensively. To consider building homes on this area would be very ill advised. Additionally, the extra development to the area of SG17 off Shoulderway Lane (site ref 173) 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 used 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.
