Shipston already suffers from flooding during heavy rainfall. The land uphill towards the A429 is predominantly clay and
is severely waterlogged during heavy rainfall. This run off very quickly overwhelms the river stour during heavy rainfall.

Shipston is already struggling to cope with the current number of residents. The high school and medical facilities are over subscribed.There is insufficient public transport to larger towns, causing more car use. The one way system struggles to cope with through traffic. The sewerage system is already at capacity.

There is little employment in the town, meaning more vehicles commuting out for work, schooling.

Fell Mill Site Refs 148 & 747 are within an area of restraint, on a flood plain & accessed by single lane bridges in Shipston & Honnington, which will cause traffic chaos. Building there will increase risk of flooding to town & local villages. Town’s sewage system at capacity. Shipston has no train station, few green spaces for leisure, poor bus service, small town centre, no job opportunities, lack of facilities, poor parking, oversubscribed doctors & dentist. Schools at capacity & no 6th form. Loss of recycling centre which is heavily used & key in reducing environmental impact.

There is not enough green space per capita for Shipston residents as it stands.
Building on the area behind Hawthorn Way would be inaccessible. Also increased flood run-off into existing properties on Hawthorn Way, Furze Hill Road and Hanson Avenue.
Barcheston and Honnington historic villages would be destroyed by these developments with the amount of traffic and noise.
Access to Fell Mill is by a listed narrow bridge, as is Honnington.
There is little local employment, which means increased traffic, commuter travel and additional carbon footprint per household.
Sewage system is currently overloaded.

Areas 552, 148, 747
Nearly half of Fell Mill Site in flood zones 3+2:site split by flood plain. Buildings will increase surface water run-off and risk of flooding Extremely worrying. I know! 2007
Why in times of environmental awareness would a well-used, well-run, vital recycling centre be closed, increasing fly tipping?
Beautiful green spaces used for walking/cycling.
Shipston's bridge, gyratory and small surrounding roads will not cope. Public transport poor.
Fewer amenities, more people, increase car use! (we've lost banks, fire station, police station, a wonderful hospital with beds and now recycling centre). Struggling medical centre and over-subscribed high school.

Shipston is lacking in green space. People are not being considered in terms of their mental health and the very reasons why they moved to this rural area. Shipston is severely short on infrastructure to support more housing. We do not have a Police Station, a functioning fire station, nor can we support our aging population in terms of an acceptable healthcare facility. The recently built hospital will not have beds. Sewage operates beyond capacity and runs down from recent build. few jobs and no potential for employment for new residents. Conservation is ignored. No public transport infrastructure. Congestion likely.

I believe the proposed development is excessive for Shipston. You are doubling the size of the town, there are no large employers so residents will have to travel for their employment. At present approximately 1500 cars leave every day so it would suggest upwards of 3000 would leave and return daily. The town at present has difficulty dealing with it's present traffic. The supermarkets are poor, previous applications for new supermarkets have been turned down. The proposed change to the re-cycling centre will cause fly tipping. I believe development should occur where there is already industry to absorb the workforce

William Davis Limited support the identification of SG17 as a SGL. Development of at least part of SG17 should be carried forward to the Publication version of the SWLP, reflecting Shipston-on-Stour’s role in supporting the Spatial Growth Strategy. SG17 performs well in the Sustainability Appraisal. Land west of Shipston-on-Stour including Land at Furze Hull Road is the least constrained and thus the most suitable area of the town for growth. Land at Furze Hill Road be included as an allocation in the SWLP for circa 120 dwellings in isolation, or as part of a comprehensive extension to Shipston-on-Stour.

MAIN point why Shipston is unsuitable :
- little local employment, no nearby employment centres, and communications to distant employment centres are poor.

Many other reasons include:
- River floods. Frequently. Only Bridge is ancient and already inadequate;
- Insufficient infrastructure. Sewers already failed horrifically with recent housing development. Schools/Dentist/Doctors all full. So-called hospital will have no beds. Police and Fire stations closed. The last bank branch in Shipston is closing.
- No trains. Inadequate buses. Not enough parking.
- All through traffic has to use the gyratory – which is already too small for larger lorries and buses

This is a beautiful historic town already over capacity, with the new developments already implemented, for the amenities we currently have. We do not need any more strain on the already weak pipe works, causing sewage to leak into homes and gardens of the established town properties, due to an incapacity underground for the original, as well as the new housing already put upon us. The schools are turning away local children, as the class space is limited to the "old town numbers" due to a lack of development. The local healthcare system, also can't cope with the current situation/numbers.

The road infrastructure to this location is simply not adequate as you have to cross one of two listed single track bridges. As a listed property owner in the local area I’m concerned for the heritage impact overall to the historic market town and its surroundings. The roads to the proposed site are currently popular cycling and walking routes. This would no longer be safe with a high volume of traffic having a negative community impact.

Shipston (SG17) should not be designated as a strategic growth area: the town suffers from limited infrastructure, lacking a railway station and adequate bus services. Employment opportunities are scarce, and Fell Mill Lane (Ref 148 & 747) lies on a Grade 2 & 3 floodplain. Furthermore, essential services such as education, healthcare, and green spaces are already under strain. Additional development would worsen traffic congestion on narrow roads, heighten flood risks, and diminish the town’s rural character. Expanding development in this area would compromise the local environment, heritage, and quality of life, making Shipston unsuitable for sustainable growth

Shipston-on-stour is being stripped of all resources- you are taking away our fire station, our bank, and our hospital. Our schools and infrastructure are at capacity and there is no pledge to improve public services or transport in the small town, AND YET more houses than those that have already been built are being proposed. This is beyond fathomable. A small, historic market town with an incredible community is NOT the place to bring more housing to, ESPECIALLY given the growing disregard for the people of shipston and their needs. Not to mention all the proposed sites are flood planes.

Shipston has had a significant increase in development of housing recently, and is already overstretched with its services and does not have infrastructure for more development, i.e. doctors, schools, shops etc.. Also we are situated the furthest away from main road links such as M40 and have no rail links and a very limited bus service. Other areas indicated are closer to main transport links. 3000 homes would bring at least 4000 more cars into Shipston which would have to travel to the transport links ie train stations, motorways etc to get to work which is not environmentally friendly.

SG17 is completely ill-suited for strategic growth; Shipston-on-stour is a rural, historic town which doesn't have the infrastructure or accessibility to take the proposed 3000+ houses. The proposed fell mill lane sites, 148 and 747, represent sacred countryside and green space for walkers, bisected by flood zones and accessed by two single lane bridges and single track roads which simply would not cope with the extra traffic. The high school is oversubscribed with no sixth form. Very little employment is to be found in the town, no train station and limited buses & healthcare.

SG 17 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 would require very large capital investments in infrastructure to expand much beyond its current size. 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.

I strongly object to the proposed development at Fell Mill incorporating the recycling centre. It would encroach on a substantial area of the already small amount of green countryside residents can enjoy. Nearly 50% of this land is in Flood Plain zones 2 & 3. More frequently the bridge at Mill Street into Shipston is flooded and impassable and the B4035 into Brailes also becomes impassable due to flooding.
The loss of the recycling centre would increase environmental impact as residents may not be inclined to visit alternative centres further afield.
Shipston does not have the infrastructure for more houses.

SG17 Priority 1 designation flawed due to lack of physical and economic capacity for growth. As a dormitory town with no additional infrastructure capacity (education, health, roads), doubling size (3000 homes) will increase travel for work, health, educational and recreational needs impacting access, interregional travel and neighbouring villages.
Proposed growth would impact residential amenity and exacerbate existing annual flooding through doubling of size, e.g. REFID173&331 planning permission refused (2018) on sustainability grounds, flooding now regular and development will cause downstream impacts.
Proposals contrary to Shipston Neighbourhood plan and therefore local democracy. Proposals fail to meet criteria in consultation regarding DPD25SDP.
