Building more houses will cause more flooding in Shipston. Drains cannot cope now, they are NOT cleared out. There is a problem with sewerage in peoples gardens. More houses will only make matters worse. This all needs sorting before building more houses. There is not enough infrastructure in place now, we do not even have a petrol station. We are being asked to use car less but people in Shipston have to use car as there is nothing in Shipston, more houses mean lots more folk so how do we cope with that. What about wildlife.

We live at the top end of shipston but even from a small development at the school, we are seeing increased flooding in the roads and gardens nearby due to the water run off from the fields being disrupted. This is surely only going to get much worse if the proposals for housing are accepted on the fields the other side of the school.
Shipston is a small town with little room to expand its main town centre, the infrastructure just is not there for a large expansion such as this.

Shipston-on-Stour has already seen lots of development over recent years. The local infrastructure just cannot take any more. The schools are full to bursting, you can't move in the town centre for traffic and parked cars, the doctors surgery is at capacity. The plans also involve building on a flood plain and / or expanding the town into open countryside. The site off Shoulderway Lane would dramatically 'urbanise' a rural location. Access currently is down a narrow country lane, next to the cemetery and historic cemetery chapel. Widening the road would impact the cemetery site.

Shipston needs big improvement in infrastructure now and cannot sustain any further house building. Sewers cannot cope, no large supermarket, no petrol station, no electric car charging, no emergency medical support, public transport is limited, limited school capacity, no 6th Form provision and students who are legally obliged to stay in education until 18 have to pay substantial transport costs to do so. Town is subject to flooding and one site proposed is on floodplain so will make situation worse. Bridges to enter town are narrow and subject to flooding.

I strongly oppose this proposal.
Shipston-on-Stour faces significant challenges. With properties already at risk of flooding, proposed housing developments exacerbate the issue. Recent sewage treatment upgrades have increased capacity, but further improvements are needed to accommodate growth. Limited public transport and inadequate infrastructure investments compound these problems, making the proposal for 1600 new homes problematic without addressing these critical concerns.

Shipston-on-Stour, with 85 properties flood-vulnerable, will face unmeasurable pressure from this proposed housing development. Recent floods worsened by new construction despite planning guarantees. While natural flood management exists, proper infrastructure investments remain lacking. Inadequate public transport compound these issues. The proposed 1,600-home expansion is unsustainable and unforgivable and will impact the core of what Shipston-on-Stour is, a market town set within a glorious countryside setting.
I oppose this proposal!

Major flood risk. Proposed area floods constantly so where is all the water going to go. I have flood water regularly 60yrds from my home. The proposed building work will impact this significantly. Living on the Main Street the increase in traffic will add to noise levels significantly, especially SITE TRAFFIC , Not to mention impact on the bridge.
You then have schools, doctors NO appointments and dentists NOT taking any NHS patients.
I know the need for more housing but SG17 would be a crazy decision.
Nothing should be done in Shipston that impacts the risk of flooding!

Shipston Dr's surgery , and local Dentist's are already struggling to cope with numbers of residents. So are the Primary and Senior schools. Why can planners not stipulate that developers build a new surgery and Primary school to be completed BEFORE new houses are commenced? All too often developers incudes benefits for locals, but once planning is granted, they submit request to make alterations and the local benefits are taken out of the plan, and planners never refuse the altered plans. Other towns have successfully implemented this strategy, why can't we?

I think further devopment in Shipston will seriously impact on the whole of the town.There isn’t enough infrastructure provision for the housing that we already have. The site towards Honington is particularly bad with regard to flooding and access problems.The Brailes bridge is already dangerous without the extra traffic that any development in that area would bring. We already have an overloaded sewage system that gives residents frequent sewage in their gardens.The schools and the doctors surgery and dentists are already over subscribed I feel strongly that further devopment would be to the detriment of our rural town

Shipston already suffers with flooding and sewage overflow after rain. Having lived in Shipston nearly 60 yrs I know it's got steadily worse each year. Even top of Hanson floods in the garden. More building will without doubt make Shipston a horrendous place to live in Winter for the majority of residents. No more "nice place to live" nomination. Also the obvious issues with lack of facilities - school, police, medical, fire, public transport. They are already insufficient for the current population.

The principal of strategic growth can only be optimised if all relevant infrastructure is in place along with adequate social provision including serious consideration of essential services such as schools, doctors, hospitals, shops, parking, flood risks, policing etc. None of these essentials exist now in Shipston on Stour or surrounding areas so unless these are improved radically and sustainably further development of any kind in this area should be avoided.

Shipston is not suitable for the amount of development proposed. It has already been over developed. The infrastructure is not suitable, not enough public services-schools, doctors etc. There has been more & more flooding over recent years & much of the ground earmarked badly floods. The sewerage & drainage systems can’t cope with the existing development as it is. The road system & lack of public transport struggles with the current infrastructure. Development like this would cause many more problems. There must be more suitable locations.

We have been inundated for too many years. We are lacking in infrastructure. As for building on flood plains it is just ridiculous. We are already hit by frequent family (a family member has had his home flooded). As residents enough is enough! Now losing our last remaining bank which will impact the post office.

Shipston just does not have the infrastructure to support/cope with more residents, like Drs, schools etc.. And there is also the massive issue of FLOODING!!!! As Shipston is in a valley, the water that runs down off the hills/fields into the river Stour, is already at a maximum. Living in an area which is in the floodplain zone and with global warming, we have already noticed an increase in rain fall, therefore the river overflowing more often too, we would certainly be very much against any kind of house building in, around or near Shipston and/or, especially, the river.

Shipston has been over grown as it is. There is not the infrastructure in place to allocate 1600 more residencies. Flooding is an issue in Shipston and new developments have already caused issues with waste and water in the town. It is diabolical to think that more houses will be built extending the small ‘market’ town further especially on to a flood plain.

Area floods regularly
Existing sewage problem
Insufficient medical facilities
Insufficient dental facilities
Primary School and High School already full. High School does not have a Sixth Form
The bridge out of Shipston towards Brailes and proposed large development is an historic Roman site. It could not cope with greater volume of traffic. This traffic coming into Shipston over the bridge would cause havoc in the gyratory system.
Insufficient parking for people shopping in the town .
Insufficient public spaces.
The two other proposed sites around the town would cause similar problems.
Unsustainable for the environment and the area.

Shipston does not have the infrastructure to accommodate the increase in housing developments, it has had large developments recently built, which the ancient sewage system cannot cope with. It appears that now some areas identified for development are on flood plains. The schools, health centre cannot meet the current demands for them without increasing the demand that new developments will bring. Shipston has poor public transport, limited work opportunities due to the relocation of major employers in the town, which forces people to drive long distances to work. Health, Education and Sewage infrastructure needs to improve before expanding Shipston further.

I am completely against SG17.
Shipston-on-Stour does not need any further housing developments. The infrastructure of the town cannot cope with such an influx of new housing, the town simply does not have enough resources. I am also abhorrently against the proposed location of the sites, which will totally destroy beautiful green areas around the town, including public right of way rural footpaths, as well as be damaging to wildlife and destroy our quaint rural community. This MUST NOT go ahead and I am totally opposed

Shipston area suffers from flooding and has limited local businesses. There is minimal bus services and no trains. The nearest motorway is 20 miles away. The school is at capacity now and the hospital is in some doubt. Infrastucture improvement is needed now before any more building takes place.
One of the proposed sites is on the flood plain and would increase the flooding in the town. It would be a bad decision to increase any housing in the area.

SG17 proposal isn't sustainable, suitable or in right location. Increased rainfall & recent housing causing huge flooding issues on land & Barcheston & Honington (grade 1 listed) bridges, both single lane with unsafe cycle /pedestrian crossing, which have to close during flooding. Sewage works are over full capacity with sewage ending up in gardens. Both villages are of ancient heritage, undeveloped since middle ages. Location in agricultural productive farmland away from facilities, unconnected to Shipston plus overlooked by and within 3KM of CNL/ANOB. Already heavily congested parking & traffic in town. Poor infrastructure, which would not support plus 50% population.

Key issues: repeated heavy flooding regularly through winter causing houses to flood even on new development & bridges to close. No rail links, poor bus service. Employment rates dropping in Shipston, people travel distances over the Warwickshire border to find work. Infrastructure inadequate for existing town, sewage treatment plants failing with sewage in gardens, no 6th form school, limited struggling medical facilities, single track roads and single track bridges. No growth space in town to accommodate added retail, there's no green spaces, parking at capacity. Oneway system in town gets gridlocked already. Loss of productive farmland. Within 3km from CNL

The main area allocated for 1600 houses is right next to a river and regularly floods. The bridge will not cope with traffic nor the neighbouring village roads. Willington (d Road) will become a dangerous route where accidents will happen. Shipston would need major expansion of services to cope. No proper supermarket, petrol station, school space, police station, bank etc. We can’t even get 12 beds into the new hospital building.
