This will put too much pressure on local facilities, Shipston is not sufficient to support the number of new houses and people being proposed. the increase in vehicles will put pressure on roads, which are already in poor condition. Parking is already an issue and will only get worse. The schools aren’t big enough to support the influx of children in the area. The proposal to build on the flood plain and lose the refuse facilities makes no sense whatsoever and will cause issues for surrounding houses which will have an increased risk to flooding.

To build more house in Shipston is ridiculous, we are currently over crowded with houses built recently. Our facilities can'tcope., As the owner of a local floor covering company I should be excited at the proposal but seeing the amount of flooding that we have this will only increase when more houses are built. Extra traffic in the form of contractors vans and lorries will have a severe impact on our narrow roads which will cause further congestion in the town overall not to mention further illegal parking on the high street owing to the lack of parking at present.

I object to these proposals on the following grounds. Local amenities would be impacted, reducing already limited green spaces and affecting mental well-being. Proposed sites fall within protected areas and in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The local school system is overburdened, and the recycling center is crucial for waste management. Public transport is unreliable, and traffic congestion is already a major issue. Increased housing would worsen vehicle dependency. Flood risk is significant, with proposed sites in flood zones. Lastly, employment opportunities are scarce, forcing residents to commute elsewhere for work.

Health services are already inadequate and over subscribed
SHS is over subscribed, Chipping Campden is out of catchment and kineton is v.difficult to get into also
Green spaces are already lacking - and vital for mental health
Fell Mill site in Area of Restraint, other areas are in AONB buffer zones
Ref 552 is vital for reducing environmental impact
Village is susceptible to flooding
42% of Fell Mill is flood zones 3 & 2 as are many other of the sites
Small town centre with already congested parking
Many local roads are single track

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.

I strongly oppose the SG17 growth strategy proposed for Shipston due to its negative impact on the town. The proposed development would reduce the towns green spaces, impact wildlife, threaten protected areas and strain oversubscribed schools. The health services are already overburdened for the existing population. Public transport is inadequate, and increased housing would worsen traffic and vehicle dependency. Several proposed sites lie in flood zones posing risks to homes and businesses. Additionally, limited local job opportunities mean most residents must commute. The plan would harm the environment, infrastructure, and community well-being, making it unsuitable for the town.

We do not have the infrastructure. School's would be oversubscribed, traffic would be tripled. This is a very small market town which is part of a conservation zone and attracts tourists, it would lose its charm with the congestion, the pollution from cars would affect our health. The areas that are being considered are at risk of flooding, the river floods the town regularly causing havoc, with extra housing this would mean less drainage. The recycling centre is well used if it was gone then people would fly tip. Transport services are poor. Doctors full. Loss of habitat for wildlife.

Several proposed sites (e.g.148, 176, 303, 552) significantly flood on a regular basis. New developments make flooding worse. Sites 148, 747 are poorly connected to the town centre by inadequate roads and unsafe paths. Shipston is remote from the regional and national road network. No train space, poor bus service. Schools already oversubscribed. Poor emergency services (no police, no fire, no A&E). Loss of green space. A3400 already causes significant noise and environmental pollution to local community. Borders on Cotswold AONB. Warwick, Leamington, Kenilworth, Long Marston, Brearley better choices for existing infrastructure, services and flood risk. See attachment for details.

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.

- proposed development of Fell Mill Site, ref 148,747 will cause catastrophic increase to risks of flooding from surface water run off during rainful events which the Environmental Agency indicates is already getting worse, particularly with climate change. Both bridges closed 4 times in 4 months because of danger to life!
- Many of Shipston's local amenities and public services including schools, doctors already inadequate/oversubscribed for existing population.
- Site ref 148, 747 in buffer of AONB and Feldon

- Shipston has insufficient road networks, to support current population and traffic volume.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Shipston has no park, no major road nearby, no railway line, no hospital, proposed building site lies within a flood plain, served by a narrow stone bridge. All the town is on the other side of the Stour river. Town square overflowing with vehicles. The town is not able to cope with too much more housing developments. No jobs in the area.
Shipston is visible from the hills of the Cotswolds, spoils the scenery already, the houses build the last 50 years lack the traditional construction. Wellesbourne could be developed further in the nearby area, it has jobs.

Lack of local amenities and public services now; inadequate schooling (including 6th form); no bank due to proposed closure of branch; no train station and the bus service is infrequent (increased car necessitated); currently poor traffic circulation and parking options . Increased flooding risk due to surface run-off (reliance on the flood plain) and sewage over-capacity. Squander 'areas of restraint' and parts of the 'Feldon National Character Area' and destruction of outlying medieval villaages. Town market square (in Conservation area ) would be ruined. Limited job opportunities currently in Shipston and workers would have to travel by car for work.

Shipston on Stour is a quaint market town. The character of our town and the rural farmland and habitats we have will be lost if it is subject to further development. Shipston does not have the infrastructure or resource to support an increase in housing developments and a subsequent increase in population. Shipston is a flood risk area, which will only become worse with an increase in houses. Shipston is fortunate to have its own recycling centre which reduces the environmental impact of travelling further afield to recycle waste. Shipston wants to remain the town it is.

Shipston already has problems with over housing. The Schools and Medical Centre are struggling with an increased population, shops as well.
Job opportunities in the town are limited and so many people have to travel outside. We have 3 children each one having to commute. This not helped by the lack of travel services, no Train station and infrequent bus service.
Green space in Shipston has also decreased substantially in recent years. This contributing to the increase in flooding.
The Town does not need yet more Housing.

We do not have the infrastructure to support this. Also the entire reason to live in somewhere like Shipston is the small, close community. Adding hundreds more people will destroy the local life of the town.
We have lots of issues with floods and blocked roads, this will be a nightmare for the existing residence.

Shipston is the gateway to both north and south of the area and is routinely gridlocked. Adding 1600 more houses and probably an equal number of cars will be disastrous.
There is already a lack of amenities with oversubscribed doctors and dentists, high school and parking.
Small historic local villages have single track roads which are not designed for heavy traffic. There is also a flood risk to many of the chosen sites. The plans are completely unacceptable and will be vigorously challenged at every stage by those in the local area.

I disagree with the proposed use of SG17 as the land east of Shipston is unsuitable for housing due to flood risk, poor transport links to the town centre over a single width bridge, likely hood of resident isolation being separate from the main town and its amenities, loss of green spaces (Cotswolds AONB) and loss of the recycling centre, a valuable local resource. Also Shipston doesn’t have the infrastructure in its current state to support so many new homes and residents. The plans are contrary to the sustainable development of local and national policy.

Shipston on Stour really cannot cope with the development of any further housing, local amenities are already inadequate for the town and surrounding villages population. The town already struggles with the volume of traffic that passes through. I genuinely cannot believe SG17 growth has been suggested with the flood risks and factors. Shipston has a small town centre which is already bursting at the seams, people often unable to find parking and there is no further space to expand the town centre.

Some of the identified areas are subject to frequent and substantial flooding. Current climate models indicate that we will have more frequent heavy rainfall events further adding to the very likely problems.
Recent new housing developments have caused significant drainage/sewerage issues and any further developments will only exacerbate this.
The local amenities such as schools and doctors' surgeries are not sufficient to meet the planned extra houses.
There are insufficient job opportunities locally so more homes will create a dormitory town (with already inadequate public transport), with more car journeys and the resulting negative environmental impact.
