Our roads are already struggling with current volume of traffic. The road maintenance is tragic with volume of vehicles in the area currently.

With the increase in climate change, we are see more flooding year on year in the areas (Fell mill site) Ref 148,747, 062 that you propose. It's a natural flood plane.

Shipston is can't even accommodate its current residence in terms of Doctors, dentist, schools, sewerage and traffic.
We don't even have a Fire station, police station or a petrol station/EV charging.

Our town is rural close to AONB which makes it a pleasant place to live.

- The Local neighbourhood plans should take precedence over a Warwickshire-wide plan.
- The town is already oversubscribed to growth, increasing by over 20% in recent years.
- Further development up Hanson hill would further ruin the landscape and cause flooding and not be allowed.
- There is a lack of infrastructure already that needs to be improved, not worsened – doctors, maternity services, hospital beds, schools, dentists, public transport, roads.
- Tourism and local jobs would be detrimentally affected by further development ruining an iconic rural area.
- Wildlife would be detrimentally affected; it is within the conservation zone.

2. No infrastructure in place to support the development.

1)It strikes me as highly irresponsible to identify land (42% of the Fell Mill Site Refs 148,747 is in flood Zones 2&3) currently serving as a flood plain as a suitable building site.
2)Part of the Fell Mill Site (ref 148 &747) currently sits within an 'Area of Restraint' preventing development. The reasons for applying these restraints in the first place presumably are still pertinent; now more so than ever.
3)Shipston has no train station and infrequent bus services to major towns, therefore employment to sustain these 1600 households will be hard to come by.

Shipston-on-Stour doesn't have the local amenities nor public services to support more housing development. The High School is oversubsribed with no sixth form and the next nearest school- Chipping Campden School is also oversubscribed with residents in Shipston having almost no chance of getting in. There aren't enough jobs locally to support thousands more people and transport links are almost non existent which would force many more cars on the road with a terrible impact on the environment and air quality. If building is above the flood plain areas it will further increase light pollution.

I'm outraged by the short-sightedness of this proposal. I am particularly appalled that SG17 is considered as a strategic growth site for several reasons (outlined in the document attached at step 7), in particular the lunacy and extreme danger of building in flood zones 2 and 3. The Stour floods severely, blocks roads and the stone bridge several times a year (photos/videos attached) and into my back garden with 42% of the Fell Mill site in flood zones 2 and 3. Shipston does not have the local amenities, publish services or infrastructure to support this plan.

I strongly oppose this strategic growth location in Shipston on Stour. The town is small, it does not have the facilities for a housing development of this kind. The high school is full, there is no 6th form. GPS surgeries are full. Other schools are full. The town centre is full and parking is full already.

The roads into Shipston flood. The houses are proposed some on flood plains, this is totally inappropriate. You should not build on flood plains.

Shipston has narrow roads, that will not cope with the levels of traffic. There are not amenities to cope with huge numbers of people such as a rail station, decent bus routes etc. all these houses will mean 2 cars per household on average on the road, the roads cannot cope.

There is no plan for any of this. It is totally unthought through.

I do not agree to these dreadful Plans.

I feel strongly against this proposal. I have lived in the town all my life - 50 years- and have seen it evolve however the proposed site is completely wrong for a number of reasons. One is the historic and amenity value and the approach from Barcheston will ruin the approach to shipston - a town which is recognised as a tourist destination given its proximity to the Cotswolds and this will ruin a historic site and ancient bridge. The flooding is a risk, tip will close, sewage system won't cope and neither will the schools or doctors surgery .

Too large a development relative tot he current size of the town.

Over subscribed local education, lack of sixth form and poor transport links would disadvantage young people. Poor public transport will drive considerable increase in car usage on existing unsuitable rural road systems. The proposed housing in on a well known flood site and may exacerbate the issue through run-off. Loss of the recycling centre would drive many additional long distance car journeys into local towns increasing congestion and pollution.

Having lived in Shipston for 20 years, we have already had to endure the constant high pitched beeping noise of the tele-handlers going back and forth for a period of 3 to 4 years, (Campden Road) all day every day - 5 to 6 days a week - with only a three month break during COVID. This had a serious impact on my mental health to the degree that I was becoming ill and was planning on moving house. I cannot endure this again with proposals behind my house.

I disagree with the draft policy as the proposed housing numbers will negatively impact the Warwickshire landscape. The nearest railway bridge is at Moreton and residents may attempt to use single track roads to access the station. SG17 is isolated by the river Stour and its historic bridge, which cannot accommodate safe passage for vehicles and pedestrians simultaneously. With minimal industrial jobs in Shipston, residents will rely on cars, increasing pollution and traffic, contradicting climate goals. The historic bridges at Shipston and Honington flood quite often. If residents came through Honington to get to the A3400 they would have to go over the historic grade 2 bridge and then negotiate the junction, which has very poor visibility and there have been accidents there in the past.

I am concerned about the proposed new builds in Shipston, as the town lacks the necessary infrastructure to support them. We already face issues with inadequate schools, healthcare services, and road congestion. There is insufficient parking and no suitable supermarket for the additional families. Furthermore, the proposed sites are on flood plains which are a carbon sink and their removal could worsen flooding. I believe the decision-makers have not properly considered the implications of these developments, including the loss of our refuge centre and the potential for increased fly tipping. I urge a reconsideration of these proposals.

I write objecting most strongly to the excessive number of houses proposed for Shipston on Stour. Our schools and doctor's practice are oversubscribed already. Our tiny town centre is not able to cope with the traffic for shopping even with our current population. Houses proposed are on flood plains and to close our recycling centre to build houses would be utter madness! The resultant fly tipping in the area would be a nightmarish scenario. Parking and traffic already are not being coped with adequately in our old town centre which is not able to be expanded.

I wish to object to the proposed developments on Sites 148 and 747 for several reasons. Firstly, the HELAA assessment shows they rank poorly compared to other locations. Secondly, the existing country lanes are too narrow and unsuitable for increased traffic, particularly at peak commuting times. Access from the Honington bridge has restricted visibility, and both bridges would require costly structural changes. Additionally, the sites have a history of significant flooding, which could lead to high defence costs. Finally, the area is protected under the Cotswold National Landscape and is valued by the community for recreational use.

I have lived in Shipston on Stour for 55 years, and I oppose the Strategic Growth Plans. The town's housing has already increased beyond its facilities' capacity, worsening issues such as flooding in high-risk areas and overwhelming local schools and the Medical Centre. Parking is difficult, especially when car parks are closed due to flooding. The proposed development would threaten a wildlife corridor and create safety concerns for children. While I acknowledge the need for more housing in the long term, the town needs time to adapt to its recent growth before further development is pursued.

Please consider the severe consequences of building more houses in Shipston on Stour. This historic conservation area has already expanded significantly without improvements to local services and infrastructure, which have actually worsened. The town faces limited public transport, unsuitable roads, and a lack of essential services, including healthcare and childcare, all while struggling to accommodate a growing population. The expansion threatens local wildlife, green spaces, and community cohesion. The ongoing development is ruining our town, and residents feel ignored and frustrated by the lack of consideration for our needs.

I am concerned about the proposed planning at the Fell Mill site (Refs: 148 & 747). Access to Shipston is limited to single track bridges. Will there be funding for new or upgraded road infrastructure? Public transport options are inadequate, making car travel likely for new residents. Flooding is a significant issue, and I worry about the impact on proposed properties. Additionally, the sewage system is struggling, and I question if there will be funding for upgrades.

I strongly object to the proposed housing development plans in Shipston on Stour as outlined in the South Warwickshire Local Plan Preferred Options. This area is designated as green belt, and building here is inappropriate and could set a dangerous precedent for other regions.

In 1999 we used to have a sixth form, but that has now gone and children travel to schools in Chipping Campden and Stratford. Despite increased housing, there is no support for expanding local schools. I know of a rejected planning application near the proposed site for 17 houses. Building on flood plains poses risks to wildlife and traffic congestion. The drainage issues from additional sewage could lead to flooding.

I oppose the proposal for 1600 homes in Shipston on Stour. While I recognise the need for housing, I believe it is more effective to follow a long-term development strategy, gradually adding sites over time. Addressing the housing issue has been neglected since the 1960s, and now a large influx is being forced upon a small town. Instead, I suggest introducing about 20 new homes every three years, allowing for proper planning of infrastructure and transport to support the growth of the community.

I have several concerns regarding the town's infrastructure. The medical centre, built in the 70s, is overwhelmed with demand and will struggle further with more housing. There is also a growing demand for primary and secondary schools and a lack of a larger supermarket, which should be considered in new housing plans. Traffic is already heavy, and new crossings are needed for safety, alongside improvements in transport links and parking. Flooding is an issue, especially near car parks and cottages, and the proposed housing development could exacerbate this problem. Additionally, this scale of development in the Green Belt seems inappropriate.
