Looking at the interactive map and following the flood and green space focus I applied elsewhere, I think flood risk means that SG17 is not acceptable under the terms of this plan. If I had to choose one site, it could be the Darlingscote Road area, but NOT with already inadequate services. The land near Hanson Ave is technically not flood prone, but runoff is ALREADY overwhelming the sewage system: sewage in the street, in gardens, in someone's washing machine. More housing further up the hill could render some of the existing houses unliveable. SG17 does not fit this plan.

The current infrastructure of the town will be unable to cope with more houses. Sewage systems, road surfaces, and the schools are already struggling. There is insufficient parking available, forcing existing residents to use their cars to shop outside of Shipston and it is almost impossible to get a GP appointment due to increased demand from the recent boosting of the population. The proposed new properties will also be on, or close to, an area at risk of flooding. This plan will reduce Shipston from a market town to an urban sprawl that cannot support itself!

This is an ill thought out development that doesn’t reflect the infrastructure, natural beauty, frequency of flooding in Shipston and surrounding villages and demand for more houses here, away from services, schools and jobs.

Shipston has no train station and the buses are hopeless. Barcheston and Honington bridges are single track and very very old. The floods do cut them off. Shipston centre is already chaotic with traffic.
As employment is so reduced in Shipston, People will need cars to get to their work.
The recycling centre is so busy every visit has to be scheduled.
Despite a lot of work done by the flood defences scheme, the flooding is starting to win again. Another 2007 type flood now would be chaotic with the extra traffic. The Risk is increasing.
Schools can't cope.

I do not agree with the proposed strategic growth proposal for Shipston on Stour and surrounding area. Shipston has had more new housing development than was originally planned. As a result the schools, GP's surgery and road system cannot take anywhere near the extent of the housing proposed and the ensuring extra traffic. The bridges both at Shipston and Honington are single file and Grade 2 listed. In addition the local hospital has been demolished and not replaced with a hospital. The town is small and has no obvious employment opportunities for the extra influx of population.

Shipston already struggles with inadequate facilities for its population, including medical, schools, parking, and supermarkets. The area is highly flood-prone, with proposed building sites in flood plains, potentially worsening flooding. Many sites are located in designated Wellbeing zones, which are more in demand. The London Road site, previously used by the Sports Club, should be restored to them, as the club cannot currently serve the Youth Football and Cricket Clubs. There are no local education and employment opportunities for those over 16 within 10 miles, leading to increased daily travel, with a significant environmental impact due to limited bus services.

Adding upwards of 1600 vehicles to an already congested area is unacceptable, the amount of houses will overwhelm an already inadequate infrastructure, small surgery, no dentist, no employment, no 6th form, infrequent public transport, poor supermarket.

Local services, schools, medical centre already under strain. Shipston is a small town already overdeveloped. Access and parking already difficult. Local buses infrequent, no station. Surrounding roads narrow and town centre parking difficult. Some of the proposals on flood plain. Close to or in Area of Restraint, and AONB. Access bridges at Barcheston and Honington are single track. Shipston green spaces are already inadequate for the number of people. The recycling centre is well used and contributes greatly to reducing landfill.

I strongly object to the proposed development at Fell Mill Site (Ref: 148,747) due to its detrimental impact on Shipston. The Market Square is within a conservation area, and large-scale development will alter the town’s historic character while increasing congestion. Additionally, 42% of the site falls within Flood Zones 2 & 3, posing significant risks. Shipston lacks a train station, and bus services have declined, making car use essential and overburdening local roads. Healthcare and essential services are already stretched, with long wait times, and no local sixth form provision forces students to travel.

This is a summary of my comments, detailed in an attachment.
They cover three principle areas - local amenities and services in Shipston, and how the proposals would impact already inadequate provision; poor public transport meaning increased volume of traffic along very small country roads that would have to serve new developments; flood risk - some of proposed new development are in areas known to flood.

Shipston-on-Stour is quite unsuitable for further development.
Recent devlopements have already overloaded local services, medical centre, school, sewage system, etc.
More development is not sustainable, there is little local work and poor public transport so the majority have to use a car to travel to work.
Much of the proposed devlopemet area regularly floods and climate change will only make this more common and more intense. Those areas not direcly flooding will have increased run-off making lower lying areas flooding worse.
Almost bordering the cotswolds, further development would detract visuually from many viewpoints.

Infrastructure needs to be the priority in Shipston. We are about to lose our only bank, we don't have a decent size supermarket considering the size that Shipston now is. We need a more modern and upgraded doctor's surgery. We also need a petrol station . All the surrounding towns appear to be improving their infrastructure, so why not Shipston?

The town can't accommodate the extra building. The infrastructure is depleted by the removal of the hospital, the schools are not coping (no sixth-form!), the GP's are not coping with the population at present. The biggest problem is the drainage - the drainage is currently overloaded and there has been overflowing sewerage in some of the lower lying houses. The traffic is already struggling at times because of the one-way system, the small bridges. The Stour is often flooding! They are proposing to build on flood plains which is ludicrous. It is not a sustainable proposition.

Please don’t do this, countryside and nature is crucial and everyone I’ve spoke to objects to this horrific proposal. I walk there most days and shipston lacks enough green spaces for the number of residents anyway, don’t tip the balance further. We have no train station and infrequent bus services. We are highly susceptible to floods and current sewage systems are already overflowing. We have a tiny town centre with very limited space for parking and absolutely no space for expansion.

A totally inadequate infrastructure to support the provision of up to 3000 dwellings and with very little employment in Shipston, major issues can be expected including not only flooding but lack of key public services. The start of destruction to an area within 3km of the AONB is only going to lead to the ruination of a historic town.

There is no infrastructure to accommodate the number of houses that are proposed in this plan. The schools are already up to capacity and the medical centre would be insufficient.

We object to the overdevelopment of the area of up to 3000 dwellings which seems to be too many. This will further overstretch local amenities and public services for example schools that are unable to cope with no sixth form, medical centre severely impacted, lack of public transport as there are no jobs within the area and flooding particularly within Fell Mill Lane (148 and 747) will be a major concern. Sewerage in particular is overstretched.

There are no jobs in Shipston and the roads and small bridges cannot sustain the level of traffic that will result in this horrendous idea that you have put together.

I do not feel this has been thought through for a variety of reasons: TRANSPORT: there would be two old, single track bridges nearby as the only access to main roads to Stratford, Warwick, etc. and parking is very limited in the town. There are limited bus services and no train station. When there is heavy rain the bridges are closed due to FLOODING, which would be another problem for the area proposed. EDUCATION: The school is oversubscribed and has no 6th form. EMPLOYMENT: There are very few job opportunities, so that would put more pressure on the transport problem.
