There is already a great deal of new house building underway to the north and west of Stratford, without any infrastructure or enhanced transport links into the town centre. North of the A46 is greenbelt and should be preserved. Critically, the hills on both east and west of town (i.e. the Welcombe Hills and Bordon Hill) should not have any development on their slopes or crests but be protected as Local Nature Reserves. On this basis the areas shown in the plan for Lower Clopton (east) and West Shottery (west) are unacceptable.

With reference to the Clopton Quarter area of SG18. This area of open agricultural land, outside the existing area of the town provides rural views from the paths around the Clopton Fields area of the Welcombe Hills Nature Reserve. I have seen Buzzards, Owls, Bats, Hedgehogs, Woodpeckers, Roe Deer and Foxes living in this area. Building in this area will encroach on the setting of Grade 11 listed Clopton House. Development in this area can only add to the existing congestion on Birmingham Road.

The infrastructure in this area is poor and there are already large areas of development that have brought no improvement to the infrastructure (schools, shops, parks, foot or cycle paths) for local residents.

This side of Stratford is heavily congested and without improvements to the roads (a46 roundabout) prior the building works alone will impact commuters and tourists travelling to Stratford but also alcester/ Evesham and to the M40. There is also incredibly high demand on Stratford high and shottery with much of that traffic coming along the Bidford road, alcester road and a46.

This area is well served by shops and community centre at the rose bird centre, which could be extended to offer ‘ 20 minute town’. There is currently less development and sparser housing on this side of town and I believe potential to add another school, doctors surgery etc. to serve meon vale and surrounding villages as well as Stratford.

There are also good connections to Oxford and Banbury and the fosse for commuters.

Development will cause increased risk of flooding from building over farmland in what is already a flood risk area that floods multiple times a year.
Out of town location requires every household built to travel in multiple cars per household on the Evesham Rd to access work, schools, supermarkets etc. The road is not safe for that level of traffic and significant traffic issues will arise all the way along into town as well as increase traffic through Shottery.
Loss of privacy and light pollution for houses on Luddington Rd and Evesham Rd.

With regards to Clopton Quarter parcel of SG18. We believe the green belt land is very important for the benefit of all in the local community and especially with the nearby Welcombe Hills, which is highly used by the local community and visible to all of Stratford. The surrounding hills provide a vital habitat for much wildlife including protected bats, hedgehogs and barn owls as well as deer. I myself have observed flooding in the fields of this parcel so feel the site is not suited to development which may further threaten my own property with flooding.

The sites around Shipston-on-Stour need a detailed review due to their impact on the town. Existing infrastructure cannot support further development, with healthcare, education and sewage systems already strained. The northern site lies on floodplains, requiring costly protections. Developers must be held accountable for commitments, with financial penalties for non-compliance, as past builders have failed to deliver. Future projects must include a strong budget that factors in inflation. Significant investment is needed to address past issues and support growth. Government-level enforcement of contracts is essential to ensure developers meet their obligations to the town without the costs passed on-to resident.

Given the lack of infrastructure to cope with existing developments in Stratford, and the issues currently faced in terms of traffic, it seems impossible to imagine any further development around this area without significant investment to resolve the issues already faced due to previously uncontrolled development premitted due to the lack of local plan allowed to happen under the previous (Conservative) administration. There is little by way of employment available locally.

-Much of the land around the recycling centre was used for huge waste landfill a number of years ago before the site changed to be a recycling centre. Therefore the surrounding land will be unsafe for housing and could cause substantial subsidence issues among other health and environmental issues.
-Near canal - could damage canal and wildlife plus flooding issues. Construction process could damage historic canal

The existing Stratford-upon-Avon Core Strategy made provision for significant infrastructure improvements including a new "South Western Relief Road" and crossing over the Avon - this has not yet happened and I believe will not happen, yet the houses are being built? I believe that without significant infrastructure investment including reinstating the Stratford to Honeybourne railway line, that this proposed growth area would completely cripple the local area due to the already poor road and rail network. The proximity to the new proposed settlement at Bearley/Wilmcote would also make the situation significantly worse.

The release of this greenbelt land is unacceptable and contrary to the fundamental principles of sustainable development and greenbelt policy.

I vividly recall the flooding at Easter 1998 while driving down Luddington Road. Water was pouring from the fields on Bordon Hill, which was still agricultural land at the time. It was evident that the land couldn't absorb the large amount of rain. Given the increasing frequency of such events due to global warming, I doubt the stream and river system can handle the situation without significant flooding. I've noticed that the road at the entrance to the Racecourse is flooding more frequently, especially since the new roundabout and the ongoing Shottery housing development.

I am providing feedback on the South Warwickshire local plan, specifically SG18, regarding a field between Evesham Road and Luddington Road. I strongly object to any development due to its negative impact on homes along Luddington Road, potential water run-off issues, increased flooding in Shottery brook, significant landscape and visual impact, and the loss of agricultural land defined as best and most versatile. The reasons for my objection remain unchanged from a previous planning application that was rejected.

As a lifelong resident of South Warwickshire, I have witnessed significant changes and understand the need for more housing. However, I question the proposed volume and type of development, particularly in relation to Green Belt land, without sufficient exploration of brownfield sites and empty properties. The area faces numerous challenges, including overcrowded roads, limited healthcare, and a lack of employment opportunities. I believe that developments like BW would irreparably harm the rural character of Wilmcote, Bearley, and Pathlow. If SG18 were also allowed development would spread to remaining villages until the whole area up to Alcester becomes a conurbation. Large developments often do not meet the initially promised required infrastructure and low-cost housing.

I am writing to object to the proposed development in the SG18 area of Stratford-Upon-Avon. There are increased flooding risks following the recent roundabout installation. The Stratford-on-Avon Core Strategy prohibits developments that heighten flooding risks, and I fear that building on this land will exacerbate the situation. Additionally, the development would harm local wildlife and significantly degrade the views from Luddington Road and Bordon Hill. I urge that these concerns are taken into account and that the opinions of local residents are respected.

I have lived on Luddington Road since 2002 and strongly object to the proposed development behind my house for several reasons. The plans contradict the core strategy 2011-2031. My primary concern is that the development threatens flood management in an already vulnerable area. Previous suggestions for a buffer between properties would harm our privacy and natural light. The new development would worsen traffic congestion along the B439, especially during school mornings. Additionally, the area is home to various wildlife. After 66 years in the town, I am disheartened by ill-conceived projects that negatively affect the functioning of what was a thriving market town.

The introduction of any housing development in this location would result in an undesirable incursion into open countryside and on to the footslopes of the distinctive Bordon Hill, which would be both harmful to landscape character and the visual amenities of the area. In addition the development an access off Evesham Road through the established mature roadside hedge. A new additional main access road and visibility splays, lighting and signage further west, up the slope, would be visually harmful to this Evesham Road frontage area and rural approach to the town. Any proposal would fail to integrate with the existing form and setting of the town and development on Bordon Hill and would detract from the setting of the town on this important approach road.

A number of dwellings on Luddington Road back on to the site and have relatively short rear gardens. Consequently their private areas would be openly overlooked from any dwellings on the elevated ground. This would be excessively overbearing for occupiers resulting in an unacceptable loss of outlook and privacy that would diminish their living conditions to an unacceptable extent.

The Core Strategy requires all areas to be assessed against the principles of sustainable development, including the need to seek to avoid the loss of large areas of higher quality agricultural land.

The houses along both sides of Luddington Road, between Stannells Close and the racecourse have long been classed as located in a flood plain for insurance purposes, even though they are not according to the flood map. These houses have been seriously impacted by the Shottery development and the creation of the new roundabout on the Evesham Road as the frequency and ferocity of flooding has hugely increased. Shottery Brook cannot cope with the water that now surges through it and people's gardens are being washed away by the frequent flooding.

Any further development will further increase the flooding in this area, which will also affect the racecourse - a business that the Council should be helping to thrive because it is a source of recreation for local people and brings visitors to the town.

Bordon Hill is visually very attractive as you enter and leave Stratford upon Avon. This will all be completely lost if it is developed. Both Stratford upon Avon's Design Statement and Luddington Village's Design plan state that the fields either side of Bordon Hill should be preserved/protected.

Developing this land will mean a loss of valuable, much needed agricultural land. This land is actually high quality agricultural land and should be protected at all costs.

Developing this land will set a precedent which will mean that there will potentially be further development on Bordon Hill, which would mean that Luddington, which is in a conservation area, would potentially be merged into the town of Stratford upon Avon.

A development at this site would be overbearing on the existing houses which it would, presumably, back onto. Some of these are bungalows and all have shortish gardens, There would be a complete loss of privacy and a huge increase in noise and light pollution for these properties. The new development would be elevated which would exacerbate the loss of privacy and light pollution for existing homes.

This site is extremely close to the racecourse meadow which is a site of SSSI. This meadow would also be affected by an increase in flooding if this site was developed and by an increase in light pollution. SSSI sites are supposed to be protected at all costs.

I can only really comment on this site because I have little knowledge of many of the others, although I would suggest that any development of Wilmcote/Bearley would be a huge mistake because it is beautiful open countryside and very accessible from the town for walking etc, so should be valued as such. It is easily accessible via the canal for walking and cycling and you are soon into open countryside. It would be a shame to lose that.

I would also like to suggest that the Council looks seriously at utilising existing empty houses/buildings before building new houses in open countryside.
