I strongly object to the proposed development on the Fell Mill site in Shipston-on-Stour due to significant flood risk. A large portion falls within Flood Zones 2 and 3, and even areas outside these zones will increase surface water runoff, worsening flooding. Shipston has a history of severe flooding, and with the Flood Re scheme ending in 2039, future homeowners may be left uninsurable. The development threatens Church Street’s historic buildings, overburdens local infrastructure, and contradicts national planning policy. Safer sites are available, and I urge the council to remove this site from the Local Plan.

Shipston's entire infrastructure is already beyond breaking point. Everything we were promised prior to the last rounds of development- new health centre, hospital with beds, primary & secondary school provision, riverside leisure improvements, etc, etc. all were make believe. Even the local doctors supported them- yet are still in their old premises.

The suggestions put forward would fill every last green space of our pretty town. It's unthinkable.
Every approach to town would be blighted by tarmac, concrete & brick. The one way gyratory, already damaged by international road haulage, is a chaotic polluting blot on our conservation attempts.

My Mum and step-dad live in Shipston and already experience poor services and infrastructure, including health services and limited bus services. Their house, built on a conservation area shakes every time another huge lorry drives past them on the London Road. Shipston also suffers terribly from flooding. The infrastructure needs improving before any more houses and people are added to the area.

I do not agree with the expansion for two reasons. Firstly the infrastructure in shipston is based on the town of 10 to 15 years and is not fit for purpose for current size. Secondly flood issues continue to increase qnd any new dwellings would make the mater considerably worse.

I feel that the proposal for the expansion as part of site reference 148, 552 and 747 are completely inappropriate and unsustainable.
These sites fall within flood zones 3 and 2. The gradient and size of the sites will produce significant surface run off.
Shipston has limited green space, the open farm land east of the river serves as green space for the town with the network of lanes and footpaths (Shakespeareway).
The sites falls within the 3KM Buffer zone around the Cotswold CNL and within the Character Area 96.
Shipston doesnt have the infrastructure, transport links or employment hubs.

Local infrastructure is inadequate for additional developments in SG17. The doctors surgery, dentists, schools etc are under severe pressure given the population of Shipston currently. Public transport is poor at best. The impact on the environment this would cause is irreparable. There is a serious lack of employment in the town forcing any new residents to commute out of town thus increasing pollution.Shipston has already expanded with many new housing developments over the last 10 years.Before any further development in SG17, the above infrastructure needs addressing as well as the roads leading to the town and our listed historic bridge

I strongly object to the inclusion of SG17 related mainly to Fell Mill Lane (148/747).
Recent large scale development in Shipston has overburdened schools, doctors, sewerage and transport to below nationally accepted standards.
Warwickshire Local Plan Part 1 makes no provision for improvement.
Specifically Fell Mill Lane (148/747)
-contains flood zone 2/3
-is within the 3 km buffer zone for Cotswold National Landscape/AONB
-contains established green space including the Shakespeare Way
-is totally within National Character Area96
-is beyond perceived walking distance of Shipston centre/local employment, causing increased car use negatives and wear to Listed bridges.
A flawed proposal.

The proposed developments would increase the flooding risk in Shipston. The current sewerage systems are already overwhelmed and more housing would further exacerbate this problem. Some proposed land include the Shipston Recycling Centre which is crucial for local residents. The secondary school is oversubscribed with no sixth form. There is limited public transport making journeys difficult or not viable for commuters and students travelling to school. The road infrastructure is struggling with the volume of traffic. As there is a lack of good public transport infrastructure, commuters would need to travel by car, increasing the strain on unsuitable country roads.

Sites 148 and 747 are wholly unsuitable to be allocated for development through the emerging SWLP. Detailed landscape and heritage studies have consistently found that the eastern side of the River Stour should be kept free from development in order to preserve this important rural setting of Shipston-on-Stour, including the Conservation Area and numerous other designated heritage assets that are contained within it. The sites are also subject to numerous other constraints, including flood risk and poor connectivity, which would make any proposed allocation in this location fundamentally unsound and jeopardise the delivery of the plan.

Shipston is lacking in a train station and the bus service to get you to work. The roads around the fell mill site ref 148 & 747 have single track roads. A34 cars would either have to go over grade 2 listed Shipston bridge, or go through Willington single track road which wouldn’t cope! As for flooding the river wouldn’t cope with more houses as already 4 times this winter the bridge has been shut. The waste site in Shipston needs to stay as I will be on the phone to you to move rubbish in my farm gateway.

I strongly object to the proposal for the following reasons:

- Inability for the town's schools, medical & other facilities and infrastructure, which are already struggling due to previous over development on a much smaller scale, to cope;
- Significant traffic, including 1,000s of cars and construction traffic needing to pass over a single track historic bridge;

- Significant adverse impact on the environment, destruction of natural habitats and the loss of green spaces.

I object to the proposed development at Fell Mill in Shipston-on-Stour (re SG17) due to flood risk and inadequate infrastructure. A large part of the site falls within Flood Zones 2 and 3, and even the surrounding land would worsen surface water runoff into the River Stour. Church Street already floods, overwhelming drains and sewers, which have't been maintained adequately. Road safety is also a concern, with single-track bridges at Honington and a pavement-less bridge near The Old Mill. Safer sites exist, and I urge the council to remove this site from the Local Plan.

Development on non-green belt land should be prioritised over development on green belt. Total housing needs can be met without developing on green belt so morally not right to remove green belt without exceptional cause.
These areas are better supported with existing infrastructure and transport network without requiring major investment on more remote, less connected areas.
The opportunity in terms of yield is higher in these areas so there is a duty to fulfil the housing needs in the most responsible way considering this and the green belt obligations.

Parcel 148: Shipston is a settlement confined to one side of the river, an important characteristic that would be ruined by development. Development here will always be considered separate from the town. The setting of many listed and other buildings in the historic core will be adversely affected. The river floods. Shipston bridge is too narrow for the increased vehicular and pedestrian traffic. An additional bridge crossing will adversely affect the setting of the historic core/landscape value. Other parcels: Shipston is a settlement in a bowl. Allowing development to break the skyline would adversely affect the town's setting.

I strongly oppose the inclusion of strategic growth location SG17 in the plan. The existing country roads are ill-equipped to handle the increased traffic, leading to congestion and safety concerns. Additionally, the development would result in the loss of valuable farmland and open space and views, which are crucial for local agriculture and biodiversity. Preserving these areas is essential for maintaining the rural character and environmental health of our community. Therefore, SG17 should not be considered for strategic growth. Shipston's infrastructure cannot cope with increased housing numbers. The land in question is also susceptible to flooding.

My comments are in regard to SG17
The proposals are a threat to the already stretched local amenities and public services. The near doubling of the population cannot be accommodated without a significant investment in the GP surgery in particular.
The loss of the recycling centre would be entirely counter-productive - as it is probable that as more waste would be generated, then fly tipping would result. The proposed housing would be a long walk from the town centre. The current bridge is inadequate - the increase in pedestrian and vehicular traffic would be detrimental. There is insufficient parking, .

This development will likely require treatment at Shipston - Fell Mill (STW) Treatment Works, this Wastewater Treatment Works has medium capacity constraints and high environmental constraints. Due to the size of the development, it is recommended that network upgrades will be required, alongside hydraulic modelling and engagement with STW. To accommodate growth at this site, extensive wastewater treatment works upgrades would be required. Overall this development site is considered a high risk location.

Until there is an improvement and development in the infrastucture of Shipston on Stour to meet the demands of the new housing estates already built, any further plans to building in or around Shipston should be put on hold. The high school classes are often overcrowded, the number of full time teachers is insufficient and absenteeism of the whole teaching staff is excessive. Medical service are at breaking point. Existing new developments suffer from flooding and sewage issues. We are not close to any major transport links and have a major bottleneck in the bridge to Brailles.

Whilst the aim is for people to live close to where they work and for Active Travel to be a priority, it must be acknowledged that people often choose to reside and work in different places. Commuting is the norm and the SWLP must accommodate this. Settlement expansion and locations of new settlements must be supported by transport infrastructure. Transport links around Shipston are insufficient to accommodate further development and impact on Cotswold settlements further south.

SG17 Shipston-on-Stour: Shipston is an an attractive town close to the Cotswold AONB. It has suffered new development to its west and at its southern entrance. SG17 would result in extensive development east of the Stour, destroying the setting of Shipston and the close-by hamlet of Barcheston, which has been carefully protected until now. The Stour itself is in a flood risk zone. SG17 would also extend the town up the slope to its southwest. The character of Shipston. set between hills to west and east, would be lost.

SG17 proposed expansion of Shipston is untenable. The proposed location to the east of the town on the Stour floodplain floods every winter. They are water meadows for a reason and Shipston has suffered terrible floods over the years and any further development will only make things worse.
Why has Shipston been considered for further housing as it is unclear where these people will work and there are not many employers requiring more staff in the town. Inevitably people will have to commute (some distance) by car which is inconsistent with the plans environmental and net zero aspirations.
