both are beautiful, characterful small villages with historic buildings & communities. People choose to live in the countryside & pay a premium for doing so. Crime is low ..problems with flooding & increasingly the traffic There is an abundance of wildlife in the fields & around the canal area. Tourists love the charm/authenticity of the village. An overwhelmingly large development such as has been proposed will create massive traffic problems, be hugely detrimental to the character of the village & surrounds, marr the historic value, create light pollution as well as noise and chemical pollution. Stratford is already massively overdeveloped

Unnecessary development on greenbelt which will damage wildlife habitats. The countryside will become an urban sprawl. There will be thousands, if not tens of thousands of extra vehicles on already congested roads. The surrounding villages will become rat runs and endanger life due to lack of pavements in these villages. Particularly the Green in Snitterfield. Increased noise and pollution. The infrastructure of the town is already at breaking point with no GP appointments available. Flood risk will increase. The safety of the surrounding main roads is already an issue and a development of this size would make matters worse.

Bearley is a small rural village and cannot accommodate 2000% growth. Large infrastructure expansion will be required as we would need road expansion, more schools, GP surgeries, upgraded utilities and local shops. Bearley is served by the A3400 which is a dangerous and very busy road and Bearley rail station is on a single track branch line without any parking facilities. Furthermore Bearley is unsuitable for such growth as areas of it flood regularly. The proposed expansion is so large it would make the area connect to Stratford upon Avon town centre creating something more like a 'city'.

Totally inappropriate development for this special area. Inadequate transport , vaste number of environmental issues: driving rare wildlife into extinction, flooding being further exacerbated by significant hard standing, green belt, historic conservation area, light pollution, traffic pollution. The significant issue of grey water disposal, refuse disposal and power and water delivery. Inadequate provision of medical, education and policing as currently proved by the existing growth in dwellings in the district.

Proposed 6-7 thousand houses would result in approx 10 thousand extra cars! No work is available in, around Bearley, Wilmcote, homes for commuters to Birmingham, Coventry, Warwick, Banbury?

No garages available. Local lanes will become rat runs, create traffic chaos, pollution, noise. Present roads unsuitable, unable to accommodate extra use, dangerous for school children, elderly, unsafe cycling to town, no footpaths, train station hardly used.
Major expensive road structure to accommodate insane plan, to destroy green belt needed for food security, protects endangered wildlife. Surrounding fields act as natural drainage from floods, without this, lives, homes will be at risk.

Roads into Wilmcote are extremely narrow, winding and already busy and hazardous with cut through traffic from A46 to A3400. Cars regularly land up in the ditch on The Ridgeway. There are no pavements on these roads. Flooding regularly occurs. The railway bridge already undergoes frequent repairs so is totally unsuitable for further heavy builders’ lorries using it and resultant traffic from developments. This traffic would vibrate on The Mary Arden House foundations. Station itself has very limited access to passengers and particularly disabled people. The A3400 itself is narrow and suffers from flooding and would need considerable work.

The development is far too big for the area and will obliterate green belt.
The villages will be completely overwhelmed and their character obliterated. Mary Arden's House is an important part of local tourism - it's a rural farm - not a building in a new town.
Presumably location has been chosen for railway station access. There is already plenty of railway access and parking at Stratford Parkway that is underused.
The canal waterway will become less appealing for tourism - which is an expanding part of Stratford's tourism.
Neither Wilmcote, Bearley or Stratford has the infrastructure to support this.

Wilmcote is the home of Mary Arden’s House and should be preserved as a rural village and not swallowed up by 6,700 house, we should cherish our heritage. The A46 roundabout with A3400 is already so busy, so more vehicles using that road will be a nightmare. There is also the Billesley junction on A46, which is already a dangerous junction. The roads around Wilmcote and surrounding areas are too narrow to take all the extra traffic.

I am not in favour of the plan to build 6700 new houses on both sides of Featherbed Lane. The character of the village with Shakespeare’s mother’s house will be changed completely. The roads are inadequate and will be dangerous for children, families, residents and tourists to use. Flooding will be more likely and the local infrastructure cannot support this size of development. Even the Birmingham Road and A46, which has several dangerous junctions, will not be safe with all the additional traffic. The number should be reduced to about 500 houses and only on one side of Featherbed Lane.

- Bearley is a small, rural village of less than 400 houses, this settlement would completely change the whole landscape, feel and culture of the area.
- The greenbelt should remain as it is, with the world focussed on climate change and biodiversity this development would go against both, reducing wildlife and laying down more concrete and tarmac.
- The infrastructure and public services such as roads, drainage, doctors surgeries and hospitals simply can't support the increased community.
- Increased traffic will be a safety hazard on what are already busy rural roads.

The land should remain greenbelt - we would see a huge impact on protected trees, birds and animals completely contradictory to a world focussed on biodiversity and climate change.
There are less than 500 houses in the village - building up to 7000 would have a significant impact on public services/ infrastructure: there are not enough GP surgeries/ schools and would likely see an impact on drainages and increased flooding. The current train station/parking/roads cannot cope with the increased number of people/cars - particularly concerning is road safety with school children having to cross the Birmingham road twice per day.

This is a very rural area not in close proximity to existing large settlements. Scale of development is hugely inappropriate.

I object to the proposed new town between Wilmcote and Bearley due to its detrimental impact on the Green Belt, local heritage, and environment.

The development would destroy Green Belt land, threaten wildlife habitats, and disrupt historic sites such as Mary Arden’s House, which is important for local and UK tourism.

International visitors, who bring in lots of money, come to see countryside not housing estates.

Lack of local employment opportunities would lead to increased commuting, traffic and pollution. Required infrastructure upgrades would be costly.

This build harms the natural beauty and international cultural assets.

Build elsewhere.

The BW site is too close to Wilmcote, damaging the identity of this historic village and it's unique Shakespearean heritage. This will increase risk and noise with the increased traffic, beyond that of alternative sites. The required upgrades to roads and mitigation to flooding will be significantly cheaper at alternate sites. The damage to biodiversity will be less at alternative sites.

The A3400 is already a nightmare, both in Henley in Arden and approaching Stratford.
Any additional traffic will bring the whole thing to a standstill. And that’s not even taking in the recent flooding problems. How can you possibly even consider adding thousands more cars and additional construction traffic?
How will Gp surgeries, schools etc cope?
This is green belt space that you are considering swamping with housing, affecting farmland, wildlife habitats and woodlands.
Complete vandalism of our countryside, adding untold strains onto all the neighbouring towns and villages and, just as important, local people’s everyday life and health.

This is unsuitable as it is in a higher landscape area and not as sustainable as other locations. I know there is a train station but it doesn't really provide a strong service.

1. The A3400 is a busy road dangerous for crossing and in neighbouring villages traffic will increase. Causing pollution.
2. Unnecessary development on green belt damaging biodiversity, trees, woodland and wildlife
3. This road is prone to flooding currently with more built up areas either side and no green spaces to absorb this will inevitably increase.
4. The infrastructure is already struggling there is not enough water supply, electricity supply etc the huge pressure on local facilities such as Doctors, dentists etc will break an already stretched system. There is a massive strain on local hospitals with patients in corridors.

The A3400 travelling towards Stratford on Avon is a heavily used road and can barely cope with current usage. The A46/A3400 roundabout experiences long queues especially at peak times and weekends when tourists and shoppers are visiting the town. The multi-million pound cost of upgrading the road infrastructure here will not decrease the thousands of extra cars from the proposed Bearley/Wilmcote development. The new residents will undoubtedly choose to travel by car to Stratford as their local destination for services, amenities, shopping and leisure. The Park and Ride choice is not viable for local people.

As we are currently experiencing longer periods of wet weather due to climate change (which will worsen year on year), the proposal to build over vast areas of fields at Wilmcote which is already a high risk area for flooding, is alarming. The heavy local soil is constantly waterlogged now, with frequent flooding across local roads during heavy downpours. The run-off water from this development cannot be adequately catered for and will exacerbate the flood risk not only in Bearley/Wilmcote but other villages downstream.

Wilmcote has a beautiful, rural location; the home of Shakespeare's mother (Mary Arden) is here. This is an incredible asset for tourism in the Stratford area and UK which makes the proposal to create an urban sprawl here totally unacceptable. It will no longer be an attractive, quintessentially English village that tourists pay to see.
It sits close to the road edge and the constant vibration of vastly increased numbers of vehicles and buses will affect the fabric of this grade 1 listed building. Other proposed sites do not have such an historically significant site to protect for the nation.

The proximity of two railway stations (Wilmcote/Bearley) to this proposed development, being used as a positive factor is totally misleading. The practical difficulties and cost of upgrading Wilmcote station to provide modern facilities and car parks would be enormous. The flood water here is problematic too- nowhere to divert the water run-off to.
Safety fencing would need to be erected along the entire railway line as it is open to walkers presently.
Another negative is Wilmcote has limited services to Birmignham and Leamington Spa- new residents from the development will drive. Hatton and Leamington have better served, mainline stations.

I am against this because:
Inadequate road infrastructure causing super traffic jams in the surrounding towns and villages, from the thousands of extra vehicles per day;
The area is at high risk of flooding already and is a problem in many of the local villages. Aston Cantlow would be stranded many times a year;
Local train stations are not able to support the higher levels of use and would be very costly to upgrade. Currently no access for disabled users, no parking and listed bridges that cannot be modified;
Permanent loss of protected trees, woodland, hedges, meadows and greenbelt
