I do not want wilmcote to become to busy with to many houses. Wilmcote is a village in the countryside and we moved here for the peace and quiet within a small community. To many houses will bring to many people and this little village will soon be pushed next to a new build housing estate.

I represent myself as a resident of Stratford upon Avon. The idea of 6000 more homes is absurd when the town as it is cannot cope. Infrastructure is an issue. Traffic in and out of town is worsening on a daily basis.
More importantly, where are the children of these homes going to attend schools? Developments repeatedly drop plans of building primary schools, but the real issue is the high school and its space and capacity and the lack of another option to send our teenagers for a good education.

This location would destroy the character of Wilmcote - it's a quiet village and would be swallowed up by a development of this size so close by. It doesn't have any facilities to offer or infrastructure to accommodate so many new people.

I totally appreciate that houses need to be built and they have to go somewhere - but speaking selfishly - I would feel like I had to move away as I don't want to live in a town. Some of the other plots would adversely affect fewer people.

Thousands more vehicles on A3400 and A46 will mean more cars using Wilmcote as a cut through route, which is very dangerous and not sustainable. Detrimental due to increased noise and light pollution at all times of the day. The destruction of wildlife and protected trees, woodland, meadows and hedges will be absolutely devastating for the local community. The land in question is already known to be a high flood risk, which should make this a no-go for such a huge housing development.

This is very detrimental due to increased noise and light pollution at all times of the day. The destruction of a key Warwickshire wildlife corridor, plus protected trees, woodland, meadows and hedges will be absolutely devastating for the local community. The land in question is statistically one of the worst risk areas in South Warwickshire, which should make this a no-go for such a huge development. Thousands more vehicles on A3400 and A46 will mean increased car usage through Wilmcote, which is very dangerous and not sustainable.

Locations seems totally unsuitable and proposal unnecessarily large.
Roads into and around Stratford are already congested with local and tourist traffic. The town centre is not built for such a large increase in cars. Bigger roads into Stratford will not alleviate the issue.
Local jobs not available for such a large increase in residence, a vast number would commute to jobs in larger towns. Environmentally unfriendly for such a large community to commute long distances.
Swamping Wilmcote with a mass of identical houses will ruin the community feel and tranquility and also devastate local habitat and wildlife.

I do not think that this proposed settlement should go ahead because it will be detrimental to the local environment. We are in a climate crisis, there is no need to build on green belt. It will destroy the wildlife’s habitats and have a negative impact on the residents as their green spaces have been lost. This will also put an extreme strain on the local infrastructure of schools, hospitals, water supplies, sewage systems, hospitals and doctor surgeries. Stratford-upon-Avon is not designed to support this many people. This development does not comply with the government’s sustainability policy.

The impact of such a large development of over 6500 houses on green belt land, will have a devastating effect on this Warwickshire countryside and neighbouring tourist attraction, Mary Ardens Farm. Traffic volume in and out of the north side of Stratford will be huge, leading to total gridlock. More traffic lights will be needed between Bearley and Wilmcote, to allow the possible 1200 potential cars from this development to travel? The increased traffic will also have a detrimental impact on neighbouring villages being used as a cut through, to avoid traffic problems.

Our community has already suffered severe flooding 3 times, forcing us from our home More concrete & tarmac will worsen this crisis. Our infrastructure roads, schools, doctors cannot cope as it is, particularly routes into Stratford, which are already overwhelmed.

I strongly disagree with the proposed new development as the total infrastructure in the area absolutely can’t cope. The significant amount of traffic, current roads cannot withstand. Schools, doctors, hospitals are already unable to cope and will become so much worse, people may die as waiting times will increase from the already too long timescales. The drainage and sewers already cannot cope. The wildlife, flora and fauna in the area will be decimated and we will never get this back. This proposed development will totally destroy the area in every way and will be a detriment to the community.

I do not believe this is the right location due to the building on green belt land and the damage to wildlife habitats. Green spaces which will be destroyed forever with the loss of protected trees, woodland, meadows and hedges. The loss of wildlife will be catastrophic.
I don't believe the infrastructure will cope. The roads through Bearley, Snitterfield and surrounded areas will be even more dangerous with cars speeding through the villages to avoid the congestion on A3400 which will evidently happen as traffic backs up going into Stratford.

I strongly oppose the proposed development of 6,700 houses in Wilmcote, Pathlow and Bearley. Having lived in Wilmcote all my life, I am alarmed that this quiet, historic village will be overwhelmed. The home of Shakespeare’s mother, Mary Arden, will be encroached by this vast belt of houses, making traffic through the village increase. Also, increasing air, noise and light pollution.
Wilmcote, Bearley and Pathlow pride themselves with sitting in a green belt. This development threatens trees, hedges and the wildlife that inhabit this land.

An enormous development, out of keeping with surroundings. No provision for substantial increase in associated infrastructure: facilities in Stratford already under huge pressure. The houses will not be a community without schools, GPs, dentists, vets, shops, churches, community centres, sports fields., postmen, dustmen. The roads are already clogged, the railway is expensive and inefficient. Air quality across Warwickshire is already very poor. The drains and sewers can barely cope with the other news houses around the town. The proposal is just houses - not a new town, not a new village, just sprawl.

I completely disagree with the proposed settlement location to be in Wilmcote and Bearley as they are both traditional villages which are surrounded by a green belt which creates a lovely location for grandchildren to visit their grandparents. As a local myself, I believe that this green belt should remain as it is since the addition of mass housing with destroy the local biodiversity and disrupt the natural environment which will result in flooding of the villages and could lead to harm of heritage buildings such as Mary Arden’s Farm.

The proposed plan would create continuous traffic congestion and an increase in accidents some of which have already been fatal.

The proposed plan for a " New Town " doesn't make sense as we already have a very close expanding town in Stratford-On-Avon. Wilmcote and Bearley need to stay as villages in order to be preserved.



More concrete means less vegetation to absorb excess water. More flooding.

Excessive traffic already causes damage to residential houses close to the roads. My house shakes when heavy vehicles pass and I expect this would only increase.

I am opposed to this proposed settlement for many reasons.
I am concerned about the capability of existing transport infrastructure and links which will disrupt the quiet enjoyment of our village. Cycle routes, footpaths, rail and road links are in need of huge upgrades which are not sustainable.
The proposed development will destroy the wildlife habitats and natural beauty of Wilmcote, as well as threatening the cultural and historical preservation of Mary Arden’s Farm. It will not be in keeping with the cultural heritage. In doing so, this will have a detrimental effect on the wellbeing of residents and visitors.

I don’t agree with plans to build 6700 homes. The roads in Stratford upon Avon are already at full capacity with traffic and parking. With such a huge increase in population, Traffic in the area will come to a standstill. Increased pollution and noise from traffic. On average an extra 16750 people will need jobs, schools, hospitals, emergency services, policing, utilities, sewage, system, water supplies. How will all of this be supported?

Snitterfield Parish Council highlights in its NDP IN3, (Highway Safety), that as the village lies between the A46 and A3400, a number of the roads in the village are used as short-cuts. In particular, traffic travelling between these major A roads use the village to avoid the longer travel distances in the district. As a result we experience higher volumes of traffic than normal travelling at higher speed past our pub, school and nurseries creating hazards to pedestrians, parked cars and other road users. A development on this huge scale would significantly exacerbate this to an unacceptable and unsafe level.

I object most strongly to the proposal. It would destroy the peace and tranquility of Bearley. The roads in the area cannot cope with any extra traffic, particularly the A3400 at Bishopton Island at A46. Wildlife from Bearley Bushes would be negatively affected by any development. Prime agricultural land and Green Belt land should not be built on. As the local death rate exceeds the birth rate, houses are not needed. Brownfield sites should be used for building in the first instance. Bearley Railway Station is situated on a line which only goes to Warwick.

The key issues which make the proposed settlement unsuitable are transport links, preservation of the green belt, flooding and biodiversity. These issues are considered in detail on the uploaded document.

To build by the side of an historic village such as Wilmcote is an absolute disgrace. This amount of houses should be built near a major town so less movement of people and traffic occurs. There is not the infastucture available in the proposed area.
