Schools, child care, GPs and Dentists in Shipston are oversubscribed. Infrastructure for sewerage has not been upgraded to cope with the expansion of the town. Proposed building will be in flood plane and water run off areas. There is no train station, limited public transport, no local fuel station , no bank , no large supermarket to serve an increased population. Parking in the town is already limited , more houses , more vehicles, more pollution. Plans to build on the recycling centre are absurd as this is a well used and necessary facility. No more estates please

Doctors/essential services overstretched. Primary & high schools at capacity, no sixth form. Poor local job opportunities. No train station & few bus links means car use essential. Part of Fell Mill sites (refs 148 & 747) within an area of restraint preventing development, and site is split by a flood plain, development will increase risk of flooding to Shipston. This site is also accessed by single lane bridges at Shipston/Honnington both of which flood cutting area off from town centre & would bring traffic chaos.
Sewage systems overstretched. Small town centre with lack of facilities/parking. Increased traffic on country roads.

Shipston is already highly susceptible to flooding, development will increase flood risk to shipston and nearby villages through surface runoff and development on a flood zone.

The medical centre and other health services are already struggling and insufficient for the current population of shipston. Development will put even more strain on these essential health services.

Shipston and surroundings road network is already inadequate for the volume of current traffic with single track systems and and extremely limited parking with no opportunity for expansion will create impossible traffic issues for residents and through traffic.

1, Building in a flood plane is a major concern. i live on the fringes of the flood plane. other new builds in Shipston have already proven it's making the flood issues in Shipston more problematic.
2, the bridge won't tolerate the amount of extra traffic and due to flooding is often cut off.
3, very limited jobs and growth for the amount of houses proposed.
4, poor bus routes and very limited choices for young people's 6th form education and college progression and jobs.
5, would destroy Shipston's independent market town.
6, lack of NHS services and bank closing.

Major infrastructure improvements required before more housing .
Improve waste water system as flooding has already occured and more users will probably cause pollution of the Stour and Avon.
Improved water supply as loss has already happened.
Improved electricity supply as outages happen already.
Roads inadequate for more traffic.
Medical services overburdened.
Public transport laughable.

There is currently no public transport to the local villages, an increased population would necessitate even more car use to enable people to get to work or school. Roads in the outlying villages are often narrow with eroded edges unsuitable for heavy traffic.
More houses means more flood risk. Our village has been inaccessible during heavy rainfall this winter, this will only get worse if houses are built on flood plains.
Shipston would lose its unique character, and doesn't have enough existing employment opportunities. Where will all these new residents find work?

Shipston has undergone massive expansion relative to its size in the past ten years and is already underserved by all the necessary amenities: Emergency Services, education facilities (no Sixth Form), and transport links are poor. Flooding is a significant problem, not only on the areas close to the river but also on the surrounding hills. The recent developments have done nothing to address this and a further development on this town would substantially alter its character and livability.

SG17 should NOT be considered as a Strategic Growth location. It is remote from other growth areas and has none of the characteristics considered as necessary by the SWLP. It has no rail service adjacent and very limited bus connections to rail stations at Banbury, Moreton and Stratford. It is not close to any transport corridors such as the M40 and A46. Its economic future will rely on tourism and the associated special landscape areas of the Cotswolds and Feldons. As such these assets to its future must be carefully protected and not overdeveloped.

The high school is already at maximum capacity and has no six form. Essential services are already inadequate for the current population. Part of Fell Mill site (ref:148&747) sits within what I think is called an "Area of Restraint" Shipston has infrequent bus services and the town is already struggling with the volume of traffic so even more car use for commuting to work. Local job opportunities are minimal and much less than before the loss of industrial land to housing. Increased housing will increase risk of flooding.

Shipston is currently not adequately catered for in terms of its infrastructure - schools, public transport, medical services (GP practice and hospital), sewage, fire station, police, employment.

Development and urbanisation on this scale will result in significant harm to this small historic town and have an adverse impact on its residents and visitors.
Increased traffic on country roads with associated pollution, reliance on the private car, plus the river crossing by a narrow bridge will have a negative impact on the health and wellbeing of the people in Shipston and the surrounding villages and on ambitions to achieve net zero.
This extensive development may exacerbate existing problems with drainage and sewage that persist following the approximately 20% growth that has taken place here in recent years.

We have had substantial building in the last five years with no improvements to infrastructure. Both GP and new 'hospital' are inadequate. Roads cannot cope, including 2 ancient single track bridges. Building on a flood plain is a bad idea! Severe weather events are increasing year on year. Recycling centre is much used and needed. Schools are over-subscribed. No train station, inadequate bus services or major road networks nearby. Barcheston, Willingon and Honington would be severely impacted and used as rat runs. Attractive market square and old town centre is part of conservation zone. Very little employment opportunity.

A lovely historic 'town' which is more than big enough with all the building over the last 5 years. Flooding wasn't taken into account with those houses, now building on a flood plain is a very stupid idea. The roads around Honington and Willington would be used as bypasses and from that side of the river there are 2 very old single lane bridges into the town. The beautiful land once lost will never come back. Land of Tilemans Lane will present significant flooding into the Rugby Ground. GP Surgery and new 'hospital' not fit for purpose! High School over-subscribed.

FLOOD RISK
Ten years of Natural Flood Management by SAFAG will be undone, as surface run-off from houses to the east will go straight into the river.

ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE
A main Badgers' Sett runs for about 200 metres under an old hedge between two of the eastern fields. Under current legislation, a 30 metre buffer area must be left around the setts for mitigation, and light, noise and loss of foraging must be taken into account.
Under current legislation, bird life of the sewage works should be protected, during and after construction.

Development of the proposed areas bordering Shoulderway Lane, west of Furze Hill Road and Hanson Avenue will result in increased flooding risk. Recent weather events have overwhelmed the existing drainage infrastructure resulting in flooding occurring. Land belonging to my neighbour in Furze Hill Road is regularly turned into a babbling brook by even moderate rainfall and the resulting stream has, on occasion, crossed onto my garden, overwhelming the existing soakaway and pooling before running away, at surface level, down Hawthorn Way. Further development uphill will only exacerbate these events potentially leading to damage to property.

Firstly, the proposed sites are highly susceptible to flooding. Specifically, 42% of the Fell Mill site is split by a flood plain and is in flood zone 2 and 3 (Ref 148, 747). Additionally, Angela's Meadow is fringed by flood zone 2. Our sewage systems are already over capacity, and this development could exacerbate the issue.
Secondly, there are limited job opportunities locally, which means that more cars will be essential for commuting to other major towns. This is compounded by the insufficient public transport options, including the lack of a train station and infrequent buses.
The current road infrastructure is also a significant concern. Single track roads will become thoroughfares to bypass the town, and the single-track bridges at Barcheston and Honington, as well as the one-way system in Shipston, are already struggling with the volume of traffic. Houses on SG17 would be more than a 20-minute walk from vital facilities, impacting the already limited parking situation in the town with no space for expansion.
Shipston is also part of a Conservation Zone, and major development will change the character of our small town. The villages of Honington and Barcheston have remained undeveloped since the Middle Ages and feature in the Domesday Book. Parts of Fell Mill and Angela's Meadow sites (Ref 148,747, 552 & 062) are within 3km of Cotswolds National Landscape (AONB) and are part of Feldon Natural Character.
Our high school is oversubscribed, and there are insufficient healthcare and essential services for the current population. Furthermore, there is a lack of green spaces, parks, and recreational areas within the town, with limited areas for young people to spend time and enjoy the outdoors.
I urge you to consider alternative solutions within the county that may be better suited for a development of this scale.

I do not consider Shipston SG 17 and Fell Mill Lane 147 and 747 to be suitable for inclusion in the plan for future development as they are not sustainable for the following reasons:
The sites are prone to flooding and are located in an Area of Restraint.
Education and Health facilities in Shipston are already inadequate and not able to cope with the existing population.
Shipston town centre is already congested, has limited parking and the one-way road system struggles to cope with existing level of traffic.

Potential sites are in/near protected areas or on flood plains.
Infrastructure already creaking – inadequate parking, doctors struggling, schools oversubscribed.
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 and is struggling to cope
Not enough local employment opportunities currently even.
Further development would damage small town ethos.

For such a project we’d need greater health facilities, more schools, properly working sewers, better transport links/access roads, improved fire and policing services.

Suggested development around Fell Mill Lane would be monumentally visually detrimental to the setting of Shipston and the surrounding countryside. Whereas development around the top of Tillman's Lane area does not go far enough and a road linking the Darlingscott Road and A3400 would accommodate more housing and crucially provide a badly needed link to the industrial estate. Any new development should plan for a town park and avoid creating further small individual play areas. New housing is inevitable, but it needs to be delivered with tangible town benefits and not just policy box ticking. Attached is my own proposal.

I am concerned about the proposed house building plans in Shipston. Access to main roads is already problematic, and the town centre is becoming hazardous for cyclists and pedestrians. The small town character would be compromised. Parking would become even more difficult. The lack of nearby rail links and infrequent bus services would lead to more car usage. Our infrastructure, including drainage and schools, cannot cope, and the medical centre is already overcapacity. Additionally, building on greenbelt land and near the flood-prone river Stour raises further concerns. I would appreciate your response to these issues.

Shipston faces severe challenges with the proposed development. Traffic congestion is dire, roads and parking already overstretched—driving under 2 miles can take 10 minutes.
Public transport is poor, requiring a car to reach Moreton-in-Marsh’s train station. Town’s high flood risk would worsen with large-scale building.
Healthcare is strained, with GP appointments taking over three weeks and future hospital beds insufficient.
No police station, reduced police presence raises crime concerns as population grows.
Closing the recycling centre for housing threatens environmental efforts, while farmland needed for food security faces loss. Education, especially 6th Form, is overstretched, with costly, limited bus services.

My main objection is that the main area for the proposed new houses WILL & DOES FLOOD. This could be devastating for Shipston and the communities down river. Our infrastructure is poor, bear in mind the problems caused by the new housing on the Campden Road. Shipston is a pleasant market town, overdevelopment and urbanization would be very detrimental. In addition we have lost our police station, our fire station, our hospital, v soon our last bank, and yet we are expected to welcome an enormous amount of new houses. It makes no sense.

Referring to housing proposals in Shipston - I’m concerned that traffic in town centre will not cope - there is a small one way gyratory system that relies on two giveaway points congestion very quickly blocks the whole town - this will get worse
