Doesn’t adhere strategic objectives: ‘sustainable level growth in area’ or ‘growth is proportionate’ to Shipton’s scale or ‘located in sustainable area’ i.e a floodplain! Doesn’t adhere to ‘location with good transport communications / people able access jobs, adequate services’. Development would double Shipston’s size, ruining it as small, historic town. Development isn’t resilient to climate change - Shipston bridge closes regularly from Stour flooding. Doesn’t adhere to ‘protecting the environmental asset:’ River Stour PLWS. Besides all that, historic post-medieval bridge only allows one vehicle at a time - development would hugely increase traffic across that bridge to an un-workable level.

The schools, in particular the high school, are going to struggle with higher numbers as it is over subscribed right now. The
public transport into and out of Shipston is poor and one way systems makes getting around our town difficult without more traffic causing issues, not to mention the environmental impact of this. Flooding is and has been for a long time an issue and more buildings in this area would be ridiculous and I can't imagine how the sewer system will cope.
Shipston has managed to hold onto its lovely character and this is at risk.

Concerned about the risk of flooding. The town has already had issues with flooding last year and in previous years. The run off from any new developments will surely make the flooding more frequent and more severe.
There has already been issues with streets in this area being affected by the sewages which has been affected by the amount of rainfall.
Concerned about the facilities and services in the Town. The medical centre is already over stretched. The NHS dentist has a 1-2 years waiting list. Can the nurseries and schools deal with extra children.

The natural eastern boundary of the Town is the River Stour. The designation as a strategic growth centre involving substantial development on the eastern side of the river will have an adverse effect upon the setting of the town and it's relationship to the countryside.

The sites, in particular Fell Mill Lane (148 & 747), are highly unsuitable for development of this scale. Shipston and the surrounding villages flood very badly and these plans will make this even worse. The sewage plant is at capacity. Transport links are limited and major conurbations far away, meaning a large increase in traffic, causing pollution and congestion and making the whole area more dangerous for pedestrians. Fell Mill Lane is very close to CNB zone and is much used as a green space for residents walking. In short, these issues seriously undermine the stated objective of 'sustainable development'.

1. Nearly half of SG17 site is in a flood zone
2. Access from Shipston is only via two single lane bridges - and these sites deprive the villages east of Shipston of access to the town centre, as a result local business will lose vital trade from the villages
3. Public transport is rubbish in Shipston: no station, bad buses and the roads are already bedlam especially the one-way system

The risk of flooding from the proposals is severe. Several of the proposed sites are within flood risk zones 3 & 2. We have problems with increased runoff from residential developments already, and the attenuation ponds are not a sufficient remedy.
There are inadequate public transport facilities already and, with no employment in Shipston and the way working hours vary now, this will only increase car journeys for commuting to work.
The available facilities are already stretched, particularly nurseries, schools and especially doctors and dentists. These cannot cope with more demand being placed on them without serious investment.

Shipston's infrastructure is not designed for any more housing. Raw sewage frequently comes up through the drains of the town from the new housing developments. The high school is oversubscribed, the doctor's surgery is completely inadequate for the existing size of the town, there is an area of restraint on Fell Mill/Angela's Meadow sites. There are no transport links in the town, the town square is too busy, and the roads within the town centre are narrow, and would not cope with additional traffic.

I support new housing but the development at Shipston on Fell Mill Lane (Refs 148, 747) in our view is unsustainable for the following reasons:

1) Local job opportunities are reducing
2) Attractive Market Square, popular with tourists
3) Conservation zone would suffer from significant congestion
4) Long distances to large towns for employment
5) Flooding wise - 42% of site in flood zones 3 & 2
6) Development on Fell Mill site will increase surface water run-off
7) The current sewerage systems already over-capacity.
8) Shipston has no train station, and infrequent bus services
9) Part of site within an “Area of Restraint”
10) Significant issues with roads in Willington, Honington not designed for high traffic
11) Bridge into Shipston is currently single track

No existing local employment, the relatively small size of secondary school (with no sixth form provision) and lack of public transport and poor roads, as well as the detrimental effect on the countryside makes this an inappropriate area for development. In addition, there are ongoing sewage issues in Shipston - given the inability of the relevant Council to ensure Severn Trent solve this over a number of years, it seems impossible that any further development would be possible.

SG17 is a grouping of sites which would double the size of Shipston. The infrastructure is insufficient as it is eg insufficient 3 phase electricity gir any public eV chargers, sewage and water leaks from overloaded system even polluting the river Stour.
The East of the river is within 3Km of the CNL so is not development. Furthermore it floods regularly. The roads and bridges necessary are unaffordable & would be within a sensitive area.
The landscape will also be harmed by a ring of development as we are in zero bowl.

SG17 as a whole but in particular sites 148 and 747 are unsuitable for development. These developments will be entirely unsustainable with poor connectivity resulting in residents using cars to commute.
Shipston's location close to several county boundaries results in a cross boundary pull on infrastructure and facilities. This is often over looked. Consideration of expansion of Moreton-In-Marsh needs consideration.
Flooding within the town can lead to Shipston and Honington's Bridges being closed, Resulting in residents east of the river being marooned. These sites do not meet the proposed policy are fundamentally unsound and jeopardise the delivery of the SWLP.
