I am totally opposed to the proposed development between Bearley and Wilmcote. There is insufficient infrastructure to support such an enormous development which would completely overwhelm the historic village of Wilmcote.
There are several new large developments in Stratford with many houses still unsold. Who is going to live in this new development and where are the employment opportunities going to be.
Although there is a train station in Wilmcote, it is a small and historic village station, with a very limited service much of which is single track and only travels to Birmingham and infrequent trains to London.

As a resident of the village I have struggled to get my child into a nursery so I could return to work, I was on 5 local nurseries waiting lists for over 4 months I cannot imagine how long the wait list would be with further houses in the village.
The traffic on Snitterfield road is extremely dangerous, I have personally known 3 of the fatalities that have happened over the years on these roads.

The planned expansion will worsen Stratford's congestion, with local roads already struggling under heavy traffic and frequent flooding. Huge lorries traveling to Bearley add to the chaos, making travel even more difficult. Essential services like doctors and supermarkets are overstretched, and 6,800 more houses will push them beyond capacity. Wildlife, including bats, badgers, hedgehogs, and birds, will suffer as their habitats are destroyed. Stratford is already overwhelmed by tourism and cannot sustain this level of overdevelopment. This plan threatens both the community and the environment, turning the area into a gridlocked, stressful, and unsustainable place to live.

The site being considered (BW) is all green belt, which would be a devastating loss locally. The land is bordered by many small brooks and streams which carries rainwater to the River Alne. These all annually overflow and will only be exacerbated by a new development in this location, some of which are cut off and inaccessible each winter already.
The very definition for Greenbelt is to protect urban sprawl and retain areas of countryside all of which is being ignored. The site extends very close to Stratford which will end up a ribbon development.

Loss of green belt land, quiet and beautiful village we currently have. Traffic concerns, it will no longer be a rural area. Locals struggle with the amount of traffic and we fear this will make it significantly worse. Also concerns around anti social behaviour, we already have a significant amount of this in Stratford and there are limited jobs so it appears to attract these kind of people. We moved here for the peace and quiet and beautiful surroundings which will be ruined should you fill the area with houses.

This is not an appropriate site due to the location. The local infrastructure is not suitable for 6500 houses. The road system into Stratford/Henley will not be sufficient for the increased number of cars. The public transport system will not service and the local schools, in particular secondary schools will not cope with the increased population.
The historical nature of the area will also be affected.
The environmental damage will outweigh the positive housing impacts at such a site. Overall there are other more suitable sites that will act as more infill than complete new development.

I say no to 6700 homes in Wilmcote a village of about 450 homes. The additions to all infrastructure would be significant, needing new larger roads needing the removal of some existing homes, roundabouts, traffic lights. Car parking areas with shops, all changing the culture of this rural village as it would become a town. It would need more schools at all levels, a Health centre, and more capacity at Warwick and Coventry Hospitals.
Both sides of Wilmcote station would need accecability provisions.
Management of rain fall and sewage would need complete review and upgrade.

Local hospitals at capacity. Traffic would be unsustainable. No schools. Unsuitable train stations with no parking and only one track. Dangerous roads (pulling out of Bearley train station, crossing the road). A34 divides the development - danger to life. Wildlife - owls, bats, deer, birds of prey. Flooding. Greenbelt land should be protected. Bearley is of scientific and historic interest. The development would swallow the existing village - tiny listed cottages surrounded by a sea of new builds would look unsightly.

The building will disrupt the wildlife corridors -deer, kites, hares, frogs, toads and bats have all been sighted in multiple fields around Bearley.
Already the roads in and around Bearley flood regularly, house building will mean no land for the rain to soak into which will increase this and make current homes vulnerable to water ingress and the A3400 impassable. Salters Lane and Langley road are already in heavy rain.
A3400 will not cope with increased traffic leading to bottlenecks in Henley and Stratford and rat runs in neighbouring villages.
The rail system is already inadequate for the current housing.

My concerns include destruction of green belt land and existing villages being absorbed into an urban sprawl - this would not be a defined new settlement with its own centre. Wilmcote's own historic centre and heritage would be compromised and urbanised. This area already suffers from congestion to get into Stratford, and is poorly connected for commuters wanting to use public transport. I think it is short sighted to destroy agricultural land.

I understand more housing is needed. However, the scale of the proposals at Wilmcote, Pathlow and Bearley is excessive and unsustainable.

The proposals would put increased strain on local communities through increased traffic, pollution, and flooding. Public transport is limited. Development would put pressure on GP surgeries, schools, colleges, employment, utilities, sewerage, and water supply. Village roads would be congested and existing gridlock would be worsened in Stratford-upon-Avon, Henley-in-Arden, the A3400 and the A46. Tourism would suffer due to the amount of time spent by visitors in traffic jams and locating parking.

Unnecessary Green Belt development will create urban sprawl and destroy wildlife corridors. Flood risk in villages and Stratford-upon-Avon is increasing due to climate change and will be worsened by increased surface water run-off. Brownfield sites such as Timothy's Bridge Road should be utilised before considering Green Belt. Oroposed urbanisation will have devastating impacts on Mary Arden's Farm and the surrounding area due to damage to foundations from traffic vibration, and increased flooding risk. The area would become less attractive to tourism as a housing estate and it will become harder for tourists and locals to access the area due to more cars on the road.

I appreciate the need for more housing and understand the need for everyone to ‘play their part’.
However, the proposed development to build 6,700 houses around Wilmcote, Pathlow and Bearley
is excessive. There is no justification for a development of this scale around this area and it does not
comply with the Government’s Sustainability Policy.

Town already gridlocked. Passing from one side of Stratford to the other already takes 30 minutes plus. Tourism will be wiped out. At least 12 more doctors surgeries needed now before additional 20,000 people the proposed housing scheme will bring in. Neither current or proposed infrastructure can/could deal with this influx. Stratford upon Avon and its charming surrounding villages and countryside would be lost overnight forever.

I object to this proposal as the impact this will have on the infrastructure of our villages and town will be astronomical. The flooding , pot holed roads, lack of drs, dentists, hospital spaces , the damage to wildlife, most houses have 2 cars these days - how can at least 6,800 going down the already congested Birmingham Rd to get to Tesco ect for the weekly shop be viable ? The town cannot take it ! Local villages like Snitterfield will become death traps from thousands of cars using it as a rat run for M40. BIG NO.

I STRONGLY OPPPOSE the proposal to develop Bearley and Wilmcote into a new settlement.
I want to preserve Bearley's village character.
The area is unsuitable due to frequent flooding, impacting roads and the A3400 during heavy rain.
More houses would worsen flooding, affecting fields, the railway line, and existing homes.
The village infrastructure can't handle increased traffic, posing dangers to pedestrians and cyclists.
Development would destroy wildlife habitats and valuable greenbelt land.
The BW plans were ranked 8 out of 12 for suitability linked to sustainability which makes placing development in this area a really bad choice for the environment.

There are a number of other reasons why I object to this proposed development:
1. The impact and strain on the countryside and communities affected with inevitable increased traffic (as public transport in these areas is limited), air, noise and emissions pollution, flooding, pressure on public amenities, health and education services and policing.
2. Thousands more vehicles clogging village roads and even more traffic gridlocking Stratford-upon-Avon, Henley-in-Arden, the A3400 and the A46.
3. Unnecessary development on Green Belt land will create urban sprawl and destroy wildlife corridors through the loss of protected trees, woodland, meadows and hedges.
4. Inevitable, disastrous risk of flooding from surface water run-off to nearby villages and Stratford-upon-Avon.
5. Increased air, noise and light pollution and the effect this has on mental health and wildlife.
6. Pressure on our infrastructure – our GP surgeries (where it is already incredibly difficult to get an appointment), hospitals, schools, colleges, employment, utilities, sewage system and water supply.
7. There are a number of Brown Field sites in and around Stratford-upon-Avon (e.g. Timothy’s Bridge Road) which should be utilised for redevelopment before Green Belt land is even considered.
8. One of the purposes of Green Belt land is to preserve the character of historic towns and villages. Specifically commenting on Wilmcote and Mary Arden’s Farm (a historic landmark of global significance), the proposed urbanisation will bring devasting consequences to this heritage site and the surrounding area through:
a. Traffic vibrations from increased vehicles which will weaken the building’s foundations, leading to cracks and structural instability over time, threatening the farm’s preservation.
b. With more development, the village faces high flooding risks, which could further damage the property’s foundations. Increased flooding is already evident in the area from greater rainfall.
c. The rise in traffic is already causing problems, as evidenced by the railway bridge nearing restorative work due to land subsidence. This is a threat to Mary Arden’s farm too.
d. As the area turns into a housing estate and traffic jams, the once picturesque villages will no longer attract visitors damaging the local tourism economy.
e. With more cars on the road, the City Sightseeing Stratford-upon-Avon Bus’s route will also be disrupted, making it harder for tourists and locals to access the area.
