[summarised] Strong opposition to the proposed new housing developments in Shipston.
1. The proposed site includes a flood plain.
2. The proposed area is a natural wildlife habitat
3. The traffic would be adversely impacted. The bridge over the river would become a bottle neck with pedestrians safety issues.
4. Car parking pressures; Local shops would also lose trade as the greater traffic and pressure on car parking would force people to shop out of town.
5. Medical facilities in the town are clearly already over stretched.
6. The character of this lovely market town would be lost

i am in favour of the large site but the other smaller sites no. Concern is flooding and again District Council selecting a site on a flood plain. I would have rather have seen it located behind the School and linking the two smaller sites together.

there is not sufficient local schooling to provide places for all the new children
The recycling centre (ref 552)is a vital part of our local comminity and prevents fly tipping and littering.
The public transport links are very poor and local motorways are at least 15 miles away.
The local traffic will increase enormously and therefore affect the safety of local residents .The single track roads linking the local villagers will not be able to cope.
Flooding is a serious issue around Shipston and would be increased with all the concrete and the sewerage is already at capacity.

Shipston is already short of green spaces after lots of recent developments and infrastructure is also struggling to cope.
The Hanson Way is one of only a few local footpaths with views of the area.
Flooding is already an issue and will be worse if land on hillsides turned into housing.
Shipston is known as the Cotswold town just outside the Cotswolds but the whole character will change with so many more houses.
The recycling centre is included in the area suggested - this is vital for environmental reasons.
Drainage in Shipston isn't coping as it is.

Not enough essential services such as doctors, school places etc to serve the current population. Both Barcheston and Honnington are historical sites that haven't been developed on since the middle ages. There are two single track bridges that already struggle to handle the volume of traffic. We also have a virtually non-existent public transport network that makes car use an essential as we are not close to any large towns or areas of significant employment. Shipston is already susceptible to flooding and the single track bridges are therefore regularly closed in the winter, making traffic issues worse.

2 of the proposed sites are within both the Cotswolds AONB buffer zone and the Feldon National Character area. The roads surrounding Shipston are mostly single track (including 2 single track bridges that both are regularly closed due to flooding) and go through small villages and are therefore unsuitable for being used to get to the town. A good part of Fell Mill is in a flood zone with a flood plain in the middle which will increase surface water run off and make our flooding problem worse. There are also virtually no local job opportunities.

For my whole life and the lives of my parents Shipston has been on the east bank of the river and to change that would undoubtedly be detrimental to the identity of the town and take away from its individuality. As well as this, it is one of the greatest rural communities I’ve ever had the pleasure to be in and to further expand the town would be a step away from a way of life that is endangered in the modern day. This development would be the death of another enclave of the old English countryside.

Infrastructure overloaded and struggling already. Zero public transport, resulting in car dependency, should rule out expansion of the village instantly. Single track roads and weak bridges cannot cope with the amount of vehicular traffic already. There are no upsides. If a developer wants to buy land and create a new town or city with its own infrastructure let it happen but there is no justification for tacking houses on to villages that struggle to cope as it is. Tax is theft, Good Citizen.

Shipston has had considerable development in the last few years and doesn’t need further housing. The school and doctor's surgery can’t cope with more people but most importantly this establishes a precedent of expanding the town on the eastern side of the river when there is far more land that is suitable and has better communications on the west of the town with access to the bypass.
It is also likely with climate change that this low lying land will be vulnerable to flooding in the future so the higher ground would be far more suitable.

Shipston on Stour is overwhelmed by new housing, and lacks the necessary infrastructure to support current residents. Sewage issues persist due to existing developments, and the medical centre is overloaded, with insufficient dental care available. Schools are oversubscribed, and there is inadequate parking for shoppers. The town has no permanent fire service or resident police force. The bridge towards Brailes Road cannot handle increased traffic, risking chaos at the gyratory system. Proposed developments above Furze Hill Road and off Darlingscott Road would exacerbate access, drainage, sewage, and traffic issues.

The proposal is ill-conceived and should it be approved, will have a serious negative effect on Shipston and its community. There is complete disregard for the culture and infrastructure for Shipston. Many people will be disaffected should this disastrous proposal be approved. Such an enormous number of new properties is not strategic growth, it is vandalism on an extreme scale.

Most undeveloped land lies on or close to the flood plain. The infrastructure is heavily overloaded with frequent sewage leaks, flooding, no fire station, little police presence, no local hospital, poor linkage to major sites of employment. Remote location with inadequate access to roads or NHS services, local shopping is limited with long distances to travel for closest supermarkets etc. The infrastructure is severely overloaded and needs massive investment to meet current needs.

As a regular cyclist and walker...I pass the area near Barcheston..the area earmarked for considerable development.
That ground is frequently flooded...with small ponds growing in it at this very moment...not an ideal development area.
The old bridge would clearly have t take more traffic and the pedestrians and their dogs who use it daily would not be safe.
Our access roads would be highly burdened with such a big increase in traffic.
Shipston is a Market town with a village feel..such a large development would not add to its charm.
Getting a Doctors appointment is no easy task...I fail to see how people would get the attention they need.
Then of course there's the issue of the hospital possibly having no beds.....the plan for so many houses with residents who may need actual nursing seems badly thought through.

The town is subject to serious flooding as are some of the areas in the plan.
There are minimal employment opportunities - recent arrivals have to drive a considerable distance from the town to find work.
There are only 2 very old, single track bridges to carry traffic over the river to the largest site, through an AONB.

I am concerned about the proposed development SG17 at Shipston on Stour, particularly along the B4035 and Fell Mill Lane. With current roadworks on the A3400 causing gridlock, drivers are using Fell Mill Lane as a shortcut, which is a single track road. This leads to dangerous conditions as vehicles struggle to pass. The development will increase traffic through Honington and over the fragile Grade 2* listed bridge, exacerbating the already dangerous junction onto the A3400. Fell Mill Lane and the road through Honington cannot handle any additional traffic.

Shipston has already expanded substantially over the past decade. It is currently flourishing due to a strong offering of independent shops and cafes. However, its character is that of a small market town. It has no train station and very limited parking in the town centre. Its hospital is also being downsized, if not outright removed. To impose an expansion of the size proposed would drastically alter the character and townscape of the town. It would also negatively impact the nearby Cotswolds National Landscape - the existing expansion has already ruined views to and from Brailes Hill.

Schools and childminders are already over subscribed with no sixth form provision. Doctor and dental services inadequate for a larger population.
Bus services infrequent and timings do not work for office hours therefore car use essential for most out of town jobs and services. Proposed sites are susceptible to flooding and sewerage systems are not sufficient to cope. Local job openings are limited. Town centre has its own historic character and could not be expanded also has very limited parking.
