Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

I don’t agree with E1’s inclusion.

If this development goes ahead, there is significant increased risk of flooding to existing homes at Milcote from the Marchfont Brook.

Traffic has increased dramatically in the 27yrs we’ve lived here impacting our quality of life - noise, congestion, pollution and biodiversity are all areas of concern. The suggested development will also significantly increase light pollution.

The two Stratford bridges and Bidford bridge are already congested. Another development to the south of the river will just add to this problem as employment, schools and transport links are to the North of the river.

As there is already a large amount of new houses in this area it makes sense to add to these as this will attract more infrastructure and amenities.

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

A new settlement on non-green belt land should be the first consideration for development.
New Settlements are preferable to spatial growth areas, as the appropriate infrastructure and amenities will be provided, rather than adding additional volume to already over stretched existing facilities in spatial growth areas.
Development without the removal of greenbelt should be the priority.

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

-The highway infrastructure is inadequate for the planned developments at Meon Vale and Long Marston airfield sites, with restrictions in place until improvements are made.
-The New Settlement Assessment highlights transport infrastructure at location E1 as a critical concern, making it less suitable for development without clear improvement plans.
-E1 development on greenfield sites contradicts the previous justification of using developed land.
-It will lead to urban sprawl and loss of countryside.
-This will harm the natural environment and biodiversity.
-A more even distribution of housing across South Warwickshire instead would be more suitable.

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

Absolutely suitable for development. Brownfield land and cannot be used for much else. It is imperative though that the Honeybourne to Stratford line be reinstated to provide transport links through to Oxford and Birmingham for employment, and that Secondary and Primary education, nursery care, doctors surgeries etc should be included, as the roads are entirely inadequate to take additional traffic to Stratford or Alcester.

Ymatebydd: Campaign to Protect Rural England - Warwickshire

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

E1 Long Marston: Long Marston already has two half-settlements - Meon Vale and Long Marston Airfield. Confused decisionmaking during the preparation of previous Local Plans has resulted in areas of new housing development in both locations without an overall plan. A single settlement with reopened Stratford-Honeybourne railway line (alignment rewserved in the SWLP) and a station at Long Marston (Depot) should be pursued. Without rail reopening Location E1 is not practicable as it would be unsustainable and dependent on car use.
Long Marston Airfield (area developed) is too far from the line to be served by rail; it needs rethinking.

Ymatebydd: Stratford-on-Avon Town Council

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

The site has major transport issues, and the accompanying evidence which suggests that an upgrade is not necessary is flawed. Potentially this is a sizeable new settlement, and could provide a well designed setting for homes and employment, if a major transport upgrade and other infrastructure were included and implemented in advance. Of all the proposed sites near Stratford this is most preferred.

Ymatebydd: Mrs Deborah Lesley Lovett

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

Site is unsuitable as access to main road routes is via Stratford where crossing the river is necessary over two bridges. Campden road is already at capacity with frequent accidents . Inadequate road infrastructure for any future development. Stratford proposed housing sites already cover the next 24 years.

Supposed potential rail line from Long Marston not only unrealistic but would possibly mean loss of Greenway a leisure route into Stratford. Rail links already exist north of the river making those sites more suitable.

Would make one very large sprawling town with lack of any greenspace between Meon Vale and Stratford

Site inappropriate for such a huge development. Poor transport links - no existing rail links, roads already over capacity. Significant queuing traffic on B4632 experienced frequently. No relief road (or budget for one). Poor links to M40/A46 so poor access to large employment areas. Bridge closures due to accidents and traffic levels, further increasing traffic problems and destroying heritage bridges. Increases pollution and carbon footprint.

Site is very concerningly directly adjoining and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Meon Vale LWS, River Avon LWS and the greenway, dismantled railway, Welford Hill Farm Meadows PLWS, Rumerhill Coppice PLWS and Coxmere Coppice PLWS.

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

The proposed housing development at Long Marston Airfield (E1) presents a sustainable and strategic opportunity for South Warwickshire. As a brownfield site, it reduces pressure on the Green Belt and minimises environmental impact. The location benefits from strong transport links, including proximity to the Stratford Greenway, cycle routes, and rail networks, promoting sustainable travel while mitigating congestion. Additionally, the development supports economic growth, fostering local employment through the Long Marston Innovation Centre. With a well-planned infrastructure strategy, this proposal enables housing expansion while protecting rural landscapes, making it a viable and beneficial option for the region

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

I am against any new housing development, or any form of development south of the river Avon, due to the inadequate transport infrastructure. Transport options for sites south of the river are wholly inadequate. Any development that will result in traffic routing through Stratford upon Avon, from the main traffic routes such as A46 and M40 will inevitably overload the main river crossing in central SOA.

Longmarston/E1

Proposed housing development.

We object strongly to the proposals for thousands of more houses on or around the the Long Marston Site.

We already have an expanding Meon Vale development and another on the old airfield site. The transport system lacks the infrastructure especially south of the river. Whereas proposals for North of Stratford ie: Bearley, would surely be better suited.
Although a better question might be ' why does Stratford need any more new housing developments " We have them on every main road into town and surrounding villages with no increases in the main infrastructures such as Schools, surgeries,
Dentists...the list is endless.

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

We am concerned about the construction of more homes in Long Marston. Having lived in Clifford Chambers for over 40 years, we have witnessed a significant increase in traffic on the B4362, making it difficult to exit our road and raising the risk of accidents. This surge brings more light pollution and exhaust contamination, as well as increased litter, harming the environment. While we understand the need for housing, we believe Long Marston and its surroundings have already seen more than their fair share of development.

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

I strongly object to the proposed site E1 for several reasons. The B6432 is already at capacity and cannot accommodate more housing or vehicle demand, especially with the linked Airfield proposal limited to 300 due to traffic issues. The site’s location would worsen traffic congestion in Stratford and surrounding villages. There is a significant risk of increased flooding in a prone area, leading to potential damage to local homes, including mine. Additionally, there would be loss of nature and open space, and the poor transport links would exacerbate vehicular traffic. Other preferred sites have much better transport options.

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

We support the continued allocation of Long Marston Airfield (LMA) within the South Warwickshire Local Plan (SWLP) Part 1, as it is under our control and already designated for 3,500 homes, with a track record of successful development. Further development is feasible despite temporary delays. We advocate for an expansion of LMA, potentially accommodating 9,850 dwellings, enhancing its sustainability and infrastructure capacity. Unlike other proposed sites, LMA is not within the Green Belt, aligning with SWLP priorities. Overall, we believe there is a compelling case for LMA to continue to be a included as a new settlement in the emerging SWLP and there is a strong case for an expanded allocation.

Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

· Inadequate transport infrastructure; noise and light disturbing our environment;
· Transport options suggested for this site are weak, over optimistic
· Congestion will grow to impact the quality of life in these areas even more seriously, including delays, unpredictability, noise and pollution, contravening the CC Neighbourhood Plan.
· The potential rail line to Long Marston/Honeybourne is a red herring. Where is the funding for one and a new station?
· The South Western Relief Road – that planning application has not been determined since 2018. The Long Marston airfield development was not meant to go beyond 400 houses until that Relief Road was IN PLACE. The Relief Road would not help the village in any event – traffic would still come past and through the Parish AND we would have a new ‘lit’ road just north of the business park linking Shipston Rd to Campden Rd.
· Both authorities have more that 5 year housing land supply as per 2023.
I believe the other sites are far more suitable for this size development, for example the wilmcote/Bearly site. Some reasons below;
o Potentially a GOOD location for a new settlement because it is very well connected for potential non-car travel.
o The location is north of the River Avon and its two bottleneck bridges, one of them an Ancient Monument. The M42, M40 and A46 (the strategic road network) are readily accessible from that location to north and south – all 3 are to the north of Stratford/the river, meaning they can all be accessed without crossing town or the river.
o The Park and Ride and Stratford Parkway Rail Station are close by from this site (without the need to cross the town or river)
o All 3 of Stratford’s Secondary Schools are north of the river (Stratford Girls Grammar School, KES and Stratford School) making them more readily accessible from Bearley and Wilmcote without crossing the river. Further, all 3 of Alcester’s secondary schools (Alcester Grammar School, Alcester Academy and St. Benedict’s) and Henley School are readily accessible from the proposed settlement location to west and north respectively, again without having to enter or cross Stratford/the river.
o The Green Belt (within which this site is located) is NOT designated for any landscape, beauty or ecological interest -
