This small quiet village is to remain a small village. There are too many floods in the area and surroundings, traffic is already becoming heavy in the local area, with more speeding vehicles too! We need to keep it green, the fields, the woods where our children play and grow up please leave nature in peace. Think about our children and great grandchildren’s future of what is a beautiful village giving them the open outdoors and the freedom to run. Creating such monstrosity at a scale far wide is by far the most heart breaking thing that can not happen.

The planned expansion will overwhelm our already congested-roads, making travel in and around Stratford even slower. Local services, including doctors, supermarkets, and parking, are already stretched to capacity. Frequent flooding on roads will worsen, and wildlife like bats, deer, and birds will suffer as their habitats are destroyed. The area is already under pressure from heavy tourism and cannot sustain 6,800 more houses. This overdevelopment will turn the area into a gridlocked, stressful, unsafe place to live. The plan is unsustainable, harming both the local-community and environment. It also threatens our village’s heritage and character—once lost, it cannot be restored.

Totally against this development. Land regularly floods and covering in houses and roads would make it worse. Wilmcote station is in disrepair, no water and no disability access to Stratford side. There is no car park, and users parking in the village would cause chaos. Lack of health facilities e.g dentists, doctors surgeries and over capacity at Warwick hospital. Much of Wilmcote is in a conservation area with historical interest which could be ruined. Where would the employment come from. The A3400 would need massive improvements to cope with a possible extra 12,000 cars.

The development will massively increase traffic from Bearley to Snitterfield and cause issues on the Smiths Lane/Whitehorse Hill road at busy times. it is already a cut through from the A46 to the A3400 and will get much worse. Construction traffic will need to be redirected away from Snitterfield or it will affect the village negatively.

The developments at proposed site location BW and the similar developments around Stratford do not correctly represent the impact of further traffic on visitors dissuaded from entering Stratford, nor the impact on the passing vehicles along the A46. The current traffic situation is poor even at off-peak times, the incremental volume of traffic linked to the proposed size of development, twinned with the limitations of the bus/train network from North of Stratford is inevitably going to creating significantly worsened travel options. Those needing to travel these routes for work and childcare, will be severely impacted.

I do not agree with the proposed plan of new houses on land at Bearly and Wilmcote. Village roads cannot handle increased traffic, would mean building on green belt land, our risk of flooding would increase, local infrastructure cannot cope with extra pressure, we will have increase pollution, noise and light, we would lose protected trees woodland, meadows and hedges, and destruction of wildlife already struggling to survive.

This is a rural site that is not well suited to such a large-scale development, for the following reasons:
- Unnecessary development on Green Belt land
- Increased traffic through small rural and village roads
- Increased air and noise pollution
- Damaging biodiversity, destroying green spaces and wildlife habitats, and loss of protected trees
- A settlement divided by a major A road (A3400), creating a safety risk to pedestrians and children crossing to access amenities such as schools
- Strain on the infrastructure such as GP surgeries, utilities and water supply
- Increased risk of flooding

RE BW This land is not suitable according to Strategic Objective 3 - severe flood risk. Stratford upon Avon's own reports ( JBA Consulting) identifies this a a high risk area for flooding and sewage issues (Level 1 SFRA Final Report) The transport infrastructure to cope with additional traffic (ref SWLP Consultation document) will require £250m investment. Wilmcote Station is on a restricted site & cannot easily be developed for increased capacity. The current footbridge is Grade 2 listed. The village also houses Mary Arden's Cottage which is of unique cultural heritage & increased traffic will cause "fatigue damage"

Strongly reject the proposed plan to add 6,700 homes in Wilmcote.
It will affect the tranquility of the village, increase traffic and pollution, affect the wildlife and greenbelt land, not to mention the lives of all members of the Wilmcote community. Please do not let this proceed!

The proposed site for over 6000 houses and industrial units between Bearley and Wilmcote is ill-conceived and will create huge problems in the locality and for surrounding villages. The traffic infrastructure of A3400 and A46 is hugely problematic at peak times now and traffic often backs up for miles at this roundabout. Even if millions are spent on road upgrades and compulsary purchasing of land/houses here, the issue is that thousands more cars will want to access the popular but small Stratford on Avon from the new development and long queues, traffic jams and bottle necks will worsen.

Specifically in relation to the land around Bearly and not the land west of the Birmingham Road, I believe this does represent an appropriate location for a new settlement with it's location next to an existing train station and road link to Stratford and Henley.

No demand, no infrastructure to support such a development in nearest towns Stratford or Henley, impact on air quality with increased traffic, impact on environment, impact on wildlife (active bat and hedgehog area), road congestion, removal of trees/hedgerows will increase flooding. if I wanted to live in or in half mile of a town I would have bought a property in a town, I want to live in a village, do your proposals include relocating village residents to another identical village free of charge?

I don't agree with the proposed new settlement BW. This is a rural area which would be devastated by such a huge new settlement. Snitterfield (and no doubt other local villages)is a 'rat run' even now at busy times so this would increase the traffic to totally unacceptable amounts causing further noise and pollution. Most of this area is green belt land which would cause great harm to wildlife habitats, biodiversity and the loss of superb countryside, trees, hedges and meadows. The local infrastructure would not cope with such an increase in population either. It can hardly cope now!

There isn’t the infrastructure here.
The health and well-being of the children and families who live here and risk to the people who live here.
Light, sound and pollution.
The train stations would not be able to cope with the amount of people.
Congestion in and around the area, including going into Stratford-upon-Avon.
Light will be affected on Grange Road as the houses will be higher than the bungalows.

The entire proposed settlement is in Greenbelt. Greenbelt makes a significant contribution to the openness of West Midlands Greenbelt. The arable land has a "good" rating. It is not "greybelt of brownfield The development would tie villages together and create urban sprawl. Site location would impact SSSI BearleyBushes. Neighbourhood plans for Wilmcote&Bearley don't support the creation of a new settlement.

Development on green belt . The develeopment is near to Mary Arden’s farm - history linked to Shakespeare.

Flooding to existing properties and roads will be made worse. Thousands of people and vehicles would destroy wildlife and protected woodland. A huge risk to children’s safety crossing roads and destruction of the ability to roam and play safely outdoors. Currently, the surrounding areas to Stratford have been over developed and the town and surrounding villages are struggling with the ever increasing traffic now. A train station that goes no where and is a request stop is nota reason to even consider the development.
