Unfortunately this isn’t shipston this will either fall into the Honnington or Barcheston parish. These Hamlets aren’t suiting for this amount of houses. The Boarder has always been the bridge and that bridge wouldn’t be able to take an extra 3000 cars and the delays would be extreme.

The development proposal simply lacks the infrastructure to support it. It is harder to recruit GP's, healthcare professionals and teachers into rural areas so the oversubscribed facilities will continue to be oversubscribed. The town and it's amenities are at capacity. We need infrastructure development before over development.

Shipston is not suitable for further development:
The infrastructure is not there, sewers etc cannot cope as it is.
Poor public transport.
Little employment, most commute to work out of area.
Medical services cannot cope.
Large parts of the proposed area to the east of the River Stour (148 & 747) flood frequently (natural flood plain); the bridges in Shipston and Honington are narrow and the roads flood when the river level rises.
The Recycling Centre at the Highways Sub Depot (552) serves a large catchment area and is popular. Its closure will lead to an increase in flytipping.

The Fell Mill site(Ref:148&747) is not a good area for development. Businesses and the recycling centre will be taken out of service to make way for the development, leaving no recycling in the area. Also the main access to the A429 from the estate will be across a single track grade 2 bridge. Fell Mill and Angela's Meadow sites (ref:148,747,552,&062) are within 3Km of CNL (AONB) and are also part of the Feldon National Character area. Shipton has no or a declining employment prospects, and very limited transport to any major areas of employment.

This development, Ref: 148 & 747, is completely inadequate for housing, being within an Area of Restraint but also falling within the 3km buffer zone of CNL (AONB) also part of the Feldon National Character area (additional sites Ref: 552 & 062 included within this). It will not only put extra strain on local amenities but takes away existing critical ones including the recycling centre that helps reduce the areas environmental impact. The transport routs are not sustainable for additional use, the single track bridges (Grade 2 listed!), one-way system, no train station and infrequent bus services are already struggling.

A tiny old town sitting next to a considerable river. It floods! We monitor! My home has a sump pump.
One very narrow road conveys our traffic snaking through town. Cars speed around the sharp blind corners.
Coaches and lorries make my windows rattle (foundations)?
Pavements are narrow and uneven. Pushchairs, wheelchairs and disability scooters do not fit on pavements in several parts of town. It's worrying. There is no room to expand. We are too old.
Leave this town alone. It is not appropriate to flood us with more houses as well as more water.

Shipston-on-Stour has grown by 20% since we moved here; we've lost police and firestations; the GP's are stretched to their limit; schools are bursting at the seams; traffic has increased; there is no railway station, so only accessed by road. Being on a river it floods. Building yet more houses not even on brownfield sites would be a disaster for this once lovely market town. The housing already built wasn't even for first time buyers, they were big houses, not affordable. We do not want further development - I will fight this - it's nonsense.

Totally not in favour of urban sprawl around Shipston on Stour. Does nothing to enhance the quality of life in the area. Already problems with flooding, vandalism, anti social behaviour, lack of policing, no decent supermarket, lack of petrol and diesel facilities and poor parking in the town centre. More people, double the problems.

Object on following points:-
1. Shipston is subject to regular localised flooding, particularly on the Fell Mill site (42% of site in Refs 148, 747 identified as highly susceptable), and the access bridge to that side (single track bridge to Brailes). Location unsuitable for development.
2. Shipston town centre & A3400 is already struggling with volume of traffic, with high street and Telegraph street parking often full. No train station and infrequent bus service means car use is often required.
3. Market Square is attractive and part of conservation zone. Character of town would change with large scale development.

In SG17. Ref552. This is a must have facility for Shipston and the surrounding area. It is key to reduce environment.
Would need to double size of the high school and primary school.
Would need large supermarket for number of houses proposed.
Ref331. Mitre house at the top of Furze Hill will see run of water coming down into our houses below.
Town square shopping is just d as bout suitable now re congestion and traffic let along doubling it. The town will not survive the extra traffic or people with these extra unneeded houses.

The expansion of Shipston on Stour brown and greenfield sites would expand the area beyond the capability of the town infrastructure. This includes schooling which is currently over subscribed, the waste water system is so overloaded now Seven Trent now routinely pump sewage into the Stour, The Victorian drainage system is overloaded now so any extra 3000 homes will irreparably damage the old town with flooding. Building on green field ites will leave gaps on other farmland that will inevitably be built over

Car use is essential for commuting to work.
Highly susceptible to increasing flooding risks, ref 148/747 zone 2&3. plus increase surface water run off increasing risk of flooding in Shipston.
Eastside, the floodplain of River Stour is overriding constraint to development.

Ymatebydd: Honington Parish Meeting
Honington Parish Meeting objects to the inclusion of SG17. A public meeting of more than 40 residents voted to submit a formal objection to the inclusion of SG17 and specifically sites 747 and 148 (Fell Mill). A detailed summary of our objections and concerns is attached as a supporting document. The Parish meeting has reviewed the objectives and criteria of the SWLP and whilst it broadly supports all of them, it is clear that in no way does SG17 as a Strategic Growth site meet those objectives as laid out and it should therefore be omitted from the final stage.

The High School in Shipston is over subscribed. Shipston medical Centre is the only GP surgery and already struggles. SG 17 on the East side of the Stour is agricultural land and access is by 2 single file bridge from Shipston or via Honnington. It houses the recycling centre.
The river stour floods regularly and increasingly. Angelas Meadow and Fell Mill site are in flood zones 2 and 3. The current sewerage system is already over loaded.
Job opportunties locally are very limited and its a long way to larger towns with no train station and a limited bus service

Shipston on Stour is unsuitable for large scale development due to lack of infrastructure and specific restrictions on the sites suggested above. Housing has already been provided well beyond that required by the Stratford on Avon Core Strategy. The entire area within the BUAB, with the exception of the reserve site, has been built out. Infrastructure has not kept pace with the increase in housing or population. This is laid out in more detail in 'Infrastructure needs' on the next page.

Potential sites are in/near protected areas or on flood plains.
Infrastructure already creaking – inadequate parking, doctors struggling, schools full
Environmental impact - few green spaces – tip closure would exacerbate flytipping
Poor transport links exacerbate car usage/pollution
Inadequate access including two one way bridges and narrow residential roads.
Shipston has already fulfilled its quota of new houses - struggling to cope
Not enough local employment opportunities currently even.
Further development would damage small town ethos.
For such a project we’d need more doctors, more schools, properly working sewers, better transport links/access roads, improved fire and policing services.

I came to Shipston 4 years ago from a busy South London, to gain peace and quiet in a village with a friendly community, and I found it.
But sad to say things are changing, and not to the good for the existing community.

Shipston has insufficient infrastructure for any more housing. the GP is overloaded, the schools are overloaded, there is very little parking, the shops are small, there is little or no public transport, the streets are narrow and traffic is dangerous.
Moreton-in-Marsh for example, has a hospital, 2 GP surgeries, 2 supermarkets with their own large car parks, a number of bus services, a mainline RAILWAY STATION - Shipston has none of this. Anymore housing and the town will collapse.
