I have grown up in Shipston all my life and watched this beautiful town get ripped to shreds over the years. We do not need anymore houses. We need more things like better shops, school, medical care etc. The proposal to get rid of the tip is crazy. Again another thing that would be lost in this market town. Yes we are a market town which makes this town what it is. Not a concrete jungle full of just houses!

Having all these additional houses will completely destroy our lovely town, it has already been ruined with all the other houses built previously. We have lots of new people move to the area who unfortunately haven't fitted in and have caused lots of trouble which has resulted in more crime. We no longer have the infrastructure as we have lost and will be losing our hospital, banks, recycling centre, petrol station and other amenities, we are going back in time not forward!!! The schools, doctors, dentist do not have the capacity for these extra people. CONTINUED.......

[summarised] Areas near the River Stour face a Flood Zone 3 risk, while Angelas Meadow is near Flood Risk Zone 2. Developing a new Recycling Centre would remove an essential facility, forcing residents to travel further and increase their environmental impact. Any development on the Banbury side of Shipston would exacerbate traffic issues on an already congested bridge. Recent flooding incidents highlight the need for caution. Increased traffic from developments may affect children near the High School. Local services, including education and healthcare, are already struggling, with limited transport options for commuting.

I do not support the proposed housing development due to serious concerns. The area lacks essential public amenities like schools and healthcare facilities, making it unsuitable for more residents. Public transport is inadequate, and the road network is already congested, which will worsen traffic and safety issues. Additionally, the increased risk of flooding, raising environmental and infrastructure concerns. Without proper investment in these critical areas, this plan is unsustainable and will negatively impact both current and future residents. I urge planners to address these issues before proceeding with any development.

I have serious concerns that the necessary infrastructure to support new housing is not in place:

No station, poor bus service therefore large increase in car use and increased emissions.

Lack of public transport means most have to use a car to travel for work or pleasure outside of Shipston. Also many of the roads can't cope with the current amount of cars let alone an influx of hundreds more if not thousands.
Diminishig local public services and schools over-subscribed.
Current sewage system can't cope.
Some of the proposed sites are fields that regularly flood and run-off from other sites would cause flodding in parts of the town not currently affected.

I strongly object to the proposal for 1600 new houses in Shipston. The site is unsuitable due to increased traffic over the bridge, which will endanger pedestrians and cars. Quiet roads towards Honington will become busy cut-throughs. The development is also near flood-prone areas, worsening existing drainage issues. Wildlife and valuable trees will be harmed, and the loss of the tip and recycling centre will affect the town. Our medical infrastructure cannot handle more demand, and the limited supermarket and parking will negatively impact the town’s character and economy.

Ymatebydd: Shipston Area Flood Action Group

I want to register our opposition to the proposed new housing in the SWLP as members of Shipston Area Flood Action Group (SAFAG). For over 11 years, we have been addressing flooding issues, which have been exacerbated by increasingly intense storms. Since September, the River Stour has flooded multiple times, and residents will face worsening conditions due to climate change. Additionally, there are significant sewage problems linked to surface water runoff affecting both old systems and new housing estates. Given the historical flooding issues, building new housing estates is unwise, even with sustainable drainage systems.

I have concerns about the current plans to build in and around Shipston-on-Stour. This is mainly for two reasons; insufficient infrastructure and the location of the proposed sites.
Infrastructure concerns include over burdened sewerage system, lack of school and medical facilities, size of the roads, lack of job opportunities in the area and lack of regular public transport links.
Location concerns include building on flood zones, increased flood risk, water run off, access to green spaces, proximity to area of natural beauty, and composition of the soil for drainage.
Major development would change the character of the town

There's no train station and minimal bus routes that take 30 mins to get to the local bigger towns of Stratford-upon-Avon and Banbury. The doctor surgery is already oversubscribed and struggles with giving the current population appointments. The same can be said for the High School which is also oversubscribed and lacking a sixthform, the closest options being Chipping Campden or Stratford-upon-Avon.
Shipston-on-Stour is at high risk of flooding and regularly does after heavy rain fall. Many of the sites are in or close to flooding zones 2 & 3 (refs: 148, 747, 062) as well as flood plains.

The current sewerage system can't cope and raw sewerage has poured onto the streets and homes
Shipston has few green spaces and little or no provision for dog walking

Shipston has insufficient green space for residents and part of Fell Mill site is inside Area of restraint and Angela's meadow part of Feldon National Character area. Proposed development includes recycling centre needed for environmental purposes.
Honington and Barcheston are reached via single track roads and bridges and these are increasingly prone to major flooding, as has happened several times already this year.

Fell Mill site ref 148 & 747 - if this area of land becomes 'hardstanding' (roofs, roadways) it will have negative impact on already problematic flooding situation. Existing lanes servicing area are single track, likewise river bridges at Shipston and Honington.
Shipston has no train and poor bus service to Banbury - route 50 and 51 serves Stratford chipping nortonand moreton. Commutes to Coventry, Leamington, Gaydon necessitate increased road traffic

The development site borders the River Stour which has shown itself prone to flooding on many occasions. The lands bordering the river should be left clear of all development to provide space for the river - and that swathe of land developed as a floodplain meadow with various wetland habitats under BNG to foster wildlife and preserve a flora and fauna rich corridor along the river.

Shipston's infrastructure, in the broadest sense, is already stretched.
The GP practice serves patients in Shipston and surrounding villages. An I flux of more patients will be to the detriment of primary health locally.
Even considering development of land that's recognized as at risk of flooding is, at the very least, short-sighted. More problems will be created than are solved.
My objection to the sites under consideration is not "nimbyism" but is based on common sense. Further development in Shipston is unsustainable.

Shipston has already expanded by 1/3 since 2018/19. Town centre, traffic, roads, schools are already beyond capacity. Major Sewage issues already due to previous expansion. Poor transport links here so driving is essential putting more cars on roads. Remote rural market town lacks facilities, amenities to cope. Character of town already changed by major development negatively. Roads left unsurfaced, parks not finished on 5-6 year old estates so this will continue. Sites not appropriate for build. Major ground works needed for developers due to clay hills with poor drainage, prone to flooding. Recycling centre would be lost. Etc etc

Shipston On Stour cannot take anymore building of new houses Many reasons are concerns over flooding which we experience, very busy A3400 that runs through the town which cannot cope at times through the one way system, medical centre will struggle to cope Bus service very poor to other towns and green spaces we desperately need will be lost for ever. To lose the recycling centre would see waste being dumped on roadsides. Shipston would lose its identity if it grows anymore.
