The road infrastructure is inadequate to take thousands of extra cars all using the nearby villages as ratruns. The traffic in and around Stratford is already a major issue. Stratford is a huge tourist attraction and another huge sprawling unattractive housing development around historic Wilmcote will remove some of the very reasons people come to visit. Flooding is already an issue after heavy rain with flooded ditches in Aston Cantlow, roads in Wilmcote and the Birmingham road flooded. There will be permanent loss of wildlife habitat and greenbelt land. No disabled access or parking at nearby stations. Completely unsuitable.

The infrastructure is not in place for the number of homes proposed. We have the historical site of Mary Ardens home which suffer from so much traffic. The area is greenbelt land which means we have nature and wildlife that needs protecting. The area is also on a flood plan so new homes would affect this.

This Site BW is merely included due to the keenness of unscrupilous landowners to cash in. This should not unduly influence planners/councillors decision making. Any objective view would disregard this option. This is a ribbon development not in any sense a New Settlement. It inappropriately erodes green belt, contrary to national & local government policy.

Land at BW floods regularly and sewerage treatment is a major concern - increased river pollution will result.

The A3400 is a minor A road already over capacity and cannot be widened (as the A46 has been). Other options are clearly superior to BW.

I strongly oppose a new settlement at Wilmcote/Bearley. Its scale is unsustainable and disproportionate and would severely and detrimentally impact the villages’ historic and natural environments. Mary Arden's Farm is a unique heritage asset of great strategic importance for the SBT and Stratford’s tourism centred on Shakespeare's life; the historic canal supports local and regional recreation and tourism. The proximity to Stratford risks urban sprawl; lack of economic opportunity will result in a 'dormitory' town of commuters. Building on this green-belt-protected land would irreversibly change its open and rural character; we need to preserve its historic significance for future generations.

Have you ever been to Bearley or Wilmcote? These are tiny villages with characters and communities all of their own. To propose up to 6,700 new homes in the surrounding area is an invasion on these bijou villages. A more sympathetic approach to our towns and villages would be infinitely more sensible; a dispersed housing strategy would work towards meeting additional needs without destroying our rural communities and greenbelt land. Enormous housing estates will detract from the area, will overload our existing infrastructure, and create more pressure on the crumbling NHS. Build fewer homes on the edges of towns instead.

The proposed development at Bearley and Wilmcote is an unnecessary development of Green Belt Land and would cause significant damage to wildlife habitats and biodiversity generally. As a resident of Snitterfield I am extremely concerned about a potential significant increase in traffic using the A3400 and passing through the village to access the new development with the existing roads in the village already being unsuitable for the current level of traffic. My other major concern relates to our local infrastructure especially our schools and GP Surgeries which would be totally unable to support such a large increase in the population

The proposed home building in Wilmcote and Bearley will radically change these village communities in a greenbelt area while corrupting quaint and quintessentially English countryside - compounded by its historical link to Shakespeare through the Mary Arden - in exchange for de facto suburbs of Stratford by combining the aforementioned villages and Pathlow into an urban sprawl. This would degrade future UNESCO potential for any Shakespeare properties, and in turn impact future potential for growth in the visitor economy for the SWLP. This alone should be enough to reject this proposal outright not to mention major infrastructure concerns.

I do not feel the land in question is suitable for development. Variety of reasons but mainly the roads. How are the roads going to cope? They can't cope already. The traffic infrastructure is an issue. Henley and Stratford are at capacity and just travelling a few minutes from Wilmcote into these towns already is so busy and often we are queued.
Also it's a green belt piece of land and once it's gone it's gone.
Also the station would need massive improvements such as disabled access and parking. You would also need to purchase The Station Building?

We are concerned that the overriding link to Junction 15 of the M40 will be via Langley Road from the crossroads north of Bearley village to Wolverton and Norton Lindsay.
This narrow lane is unsuitable for additional amounts of fast moving traffic. The lane undulates and contains a number of road hazards including a tendency to flood .
The road network in the immediate area consists of narrow lanes which are poorly maintained and are already damaged as a result of current traffic levels.

Object to the proposals for Bearley/Wilmcote for the following reasons:)-

6800 houses will comprise a new town divided by the dangerous A3400 risking children's safety as they cross the road twice a day to go to and return from school

green spaces and wildlife habitats wil be destroyed replacing historic countryside with urban development

Road overloading adding to already existing heavy use and traffic jams, all impacting on the surrounding semi rural towns

increased air and noise pollution

inadequate existing infrastructure GP surgeries, utilities that is inadequate for the existing population let alone a 20000 increase in population

expecting additional flooding though pressure on drainage etc

loss of farmland and countryside

loss of protected trees, woodland, meadows and hedges and the consequent loss of wildlife

These proposals will result in Wilmcote Village and the surrounding area experiencing increased traffic, noise, air and emissions pollution along with probable flooding and pressure on already stretched health and education services and policing.
The train stations at Wilmcote and Bearley have no parking facilities. Increased use would result in vehicles being parked on the highway causing a traffic hazard.
Wilmcote is a significant tourist attraction for those wanting to learn about and experience life in Shakespeare’s time. Being surrounded by a large development as that being proposed would hugely detract from the tranquility and ambience of Wilmcote Village.

No, I do not agree.
It would become a new town divided by the dangerous A3400 putting lives at risk. It is unnecessary development on Green Belt land. Other proposed sites are not on Green Belt. Use them. Bearley railway station is a 'halt stop' single line and not suitable for the additional usage, and there is no car park. If it goes ahead it will become urban sprawl as only 800 metres (grey belt area) between it and the town of Stratford. Bearley Bushes is an SSSI and as such should not be impacted by the proposed BW development.

I am in total disagreement with the proposed development of 6700 homes in Wilmcote and Bearley, there is insufficient infrastructure for the number of houses proposed for this green field site. The loss of wildlife habitat and the environmental impact will be huge. The sewage system is already suffering with the over development that has already happened. There is not enough employment locally to sustain this quantity of houses, the current health and education facilities are already insufficient for the extra housing already built in the Stratford district.

strongly oppose the proposed housing development in Wilmcote due to its harmful impact on the village and surrounding areas. It would destroy Green Belt land, farmland, and wildlife habitats, threatening local biodiversity, including the recently returned otters. Increased housing would strain drainage systems, heightening flood risks. Narrow rural roads cannot handle more traffic, leading to congestion and pollution. Local services, including schools and GP surgeries, are already overstretched. Wilmcote’s historical and cultural significance would also be undermined. This development would permanently damage the village’s rural character and should be rejected.

In conclusion, I strongly urge the council to reconsider this development, or at the very least, to scale it down significantly. The long-term negative impacts on our infrastructure, environment, and community spirit must be given more consideration in the planning process. I hope that the council will take the time to consult with local residents more thoroughly before making any final decisions.

I believe this proposed development should not be built on green belt land. Farm land and green spaces will be destroyed, along with wildlife habitats. The new homes will exacerbate flooding risks already present in this area. The A3400 and adjoining trunk roads cannot cope with any further development. The probable extra 10,000 vehicles will only increase air and noise pollution. The local infrastructure including doctors surgeries, dentists and schools will not support a 2,000% increase in the population. There will be a detrimental impact on all local villages due to the density and over development of this proposal.

The visual impact of this proposed development would change the character of the village of Bearley forever. It is out of proportion and will have massive detrimental effect on green spaces and wildlife. The local road network will struggle to cope with the extra 10,000 vehicles and air and noise pollution will become a significant concern. The demand for doctors surgeries, dentists, schools etc., will not be able to met and this will impact on all local villages.

The proposed idea for huge housing developments are simply not thought through and a knee jerk reaction to government quotas.
We have already seen huge amount of houses built in the last 3 years within this area. The environmental damage, the congestion, the pollution, the extra population within the area, will result in huge problems. Traffic congestion is already horrendous. Schools will be overrun, doctors surgeries and hospitals overrun, traffic chaos, a destroyed countryside. I do question whether some of the decision makers stand to make a lot of money from the land being sold off.

The proposed settlement would eradicate the existing villages. There are many places within Stratford that have already been built that are essentially characterless lego towns that have no character, soul or sense of community. Infrastructure would need to be put in first so a community could grow around it rather than trying to create something after. The site is too close to Stratford itself. It would just be one big urban sprawl. Getting in or out of Stratford is already difficult enough and people already choose to avoid doing so if they can.
