Stratford traffic is already overrun. Adding more houses to surrounding villages will only make this worse for all local residents. It will also contribute to the floods and the infrastructure of the area just isn’t right for new builds to be built here. It would also impact on the character of the villages and before long they won’t be villages. I live in Alcester which is near the villages and the traffic is already awful travelling through places, the roads aren’t fit for more people to be located to the area. I do not believe this is suitable.

This development represents 6800 houses which is a 2000% increase!. The surrounding communities will be devastated with increased traffic, pollution, flooding and pressure on public amenities and services. The proposed development would damage green spaces and wildlife habitats will be destroyed. Thousands more vehicles would be flooding our lanes creating more traffic gridlock in the surrounding villages. There will be increased noise, .air pollution and flooding will be made worse to existing properties and roads as well the new development. Finally, our infrastructure, GP surgeries, utilities and water supply will not support a 2000% increase in population.

The objection is regarding the volume of housing proposed - there would need to be substantial infrastructure investment. Planning should reflect village structure rather than estates.

This development is well within green belt and sites that are not in greenbelt should be selected before this.
The farm land and countryside will be turned into an urban sprawl called north Stratford.
The A3400 is already traffic saturated and very dangerous, this proposal would be spilt by this road and create an even more hazardous barrier for pedestrians to negotiate.
The railway station is only a halt with no facilities and only a single track.
This development will destroy the very rich biodiversity in this and the surrounding area.
There is already inadequate infrastructure in this area.

It is detrimental to the greenbelt, flora and fauna, and adds to the risk of flooding. Infrastructure (water, broadband, and electricity) is stretched. Bearley station is insufficient (single track; few services). People won't cycle to/from Stratford up and down hills. Roads in impacted and nearby villages cannot cope with the additional traffic, and the A3400 is already busy. The size of the development is disproportionate to local need and to the size of the impacted villages, and will change their character unrecognisably not just in terms of scale but also their look and feel. We chose village not town life,

I do NOT agree for the following reasons.
- The town would be divided by the A3400 Which has already had 5 deaths in the last few tears
- Being built on Green Belt (the only proposed site wholly built on Green belt)
- Urban sprawl will be created with Stratford.
- Damage to protected woodlands and wildlife
- poor assumptions in Hella Many wrong eg. around a one track dead end train line thats a halt stop Clearly a desk top exercise with no real understanding of the area.
- area susceptible on a regular basis to high flooding.

Punching a hole in the green belt for a new development is preferable to towns and villages sprawling into each other. I do not know the area from a sustainability and environmental perspective. I assume this would be good to add housing near to but not within Stratford. Adding large new developments or small areas of additional housing in villages near to Stratford would be good, where sprawl is avoided and it can be done on land that is not Green Belt.

The entire site is within the green belt. It will result in urban sprawl destroying the historic villages which will be consumed within Stratford-upon-Avon.
Wilmcote train station has restricted access to the platforms. Bearley is on a single tracked line with a bi-hourly service. Neither has dedicated parking spaces. Most residents would likely drive to other stations. It would be costly to improve this public transport provision.
There are no immediately local employment opportunities so people will have to travel by car for work. The strategic road (A3400) and local village roads are already heavily congested during peak times.

* Unnecessary development on Green Belt.
* It will swamp our over stretched GP surgeries and utilities, schools Nurseries etc.
*We need to protect our Farmland and not destroy it
* It will bring thousands more extra vehicles through our local Villages of Bearley, Snitterfield, Henley in Arden, Norton Lindsey, Claverdon, Langley Wootton Wawen, and not to mention Stratford upon Avon with is almost gridlocked already.
* All of the extra traffic will bring increased air and noise pollution too, as well as reducing safety due to crossing such busy roads, for school etc.

The proposal is too large for the supporting infrastructure. Rain water run-off will significantly worsen flooding which is already a big issue in the adjacent low lying areas of Wooten Wawen, Aston Cantlow and on the A3400.
The increased traffic on surrounding roads will become a significant danger to life in surrounding villages with traffic trying to avoid the inevitable congestion on the A3400 into Stratford and through Henley in Arden. The A46 is already an accident black spot between Stratford and Alcester and the development will increase the traffic on this road as commuters try to reach the M5.

The huge amount of extra traffic will make the A3400 even busier and with localised flooding become extremely dangerous in both directions into Stratford and through Henley. Wilmcote station has no parking so more rail travellers will lead to congested local roads and access to the park and ride in Stratford is accessed across the already busy A46 island.
Local schools and Drs are already overrun.
Local village roads will become shortcuts and dangerous. Speeding is already a problem.
Loss of green belt and habitat for wildlife.
I strongly object to this proposal.

The beautiful character of the historic village of Wilmcote, made famous by the home of Shakespeare’s Mother “Mary Arden”, would be totally destroyed by this outrageously large modern development, which has no place in this historic rural idyll. The road infrastructure currently does not cope with commuters between Birmingham and Stratford with hundreds of millions of pounds required to improve the current situation, let alone with an estimated 10,000 additional vehicles. Stratford and Wilmcote do not require additional housing based on Births and deaths. This planned housing would not be for local people as there is absolutely no requirement.

I wholeheartedly object to these proposals as I see them to be nothing but ruinous for our our local villages and town and will have a negative impact for everyone and Stratford as a whole, this will destroy farm land create an urban sprawl ,Farm land should remain as farm land a completely unnecessary development on green belt land the environment will suffer as well as the roads and polluting us all. All the local villages will suffer. There are far better locations for such a development not ruining green belt land forever!

Currently Wilmcote has been identified as high risk for flooding by Stratford District Council. The impact of said development will increase surface water run off and higher insurance costs, therefore high costs of upgrading infrastructure. Increased traffic and urban sprawl will harm the historic villages of Wilmcote and Bearley and potential damage to Mary Arden’s house which is a Grade 1 property and site of global interest, due to its connection to William Shakespeare. Negative effects on residents and visitors due to loss of green spaces affecting mental well being. Loss of tranquil landscapes and wildlife habitats will impact detrimentally.

Not against house building in some of the allocated areas. People need homes. The extend of the proposal is ridiculous. The A3400 is a flood plain as I experience travelling to Shirley daily. No maintenance since 1998 (year I moved into Wilmcote). No infrastructure for current number of residents. Traffic into Stratford horrendous, killing businesses and the Bard's town culture. No mention of affordability of proposed housing estate. What we need is one/two bedroom dwellings for our (grand)children to learn to live independently. The bank of mum and dad will run dry!

The Idea of building in the green belt when there are other areas available seems needlessly destructive of natural wildlife including protected species ie bats.
We do not have the infrastructure to deal with the additional vehicles, peoples, flood water that would drain into the field that would be built on. The congestion is already very high making the roads hazardous.
The increase in residents could either overwhelm local businesses or lead to a large corporation settling in the area and taking away from these local businesses.

The Bearley / Wilmcote area is not suitable for a large scale development because A) It would swamp the local infrastructure particularly access to the GP surgery in Henley. B)The utilities in this area are already unable to cope particularly in respect of water run off and local flooding and provision of clean water. Traffic from this site would largely go to Stratford along the A3400 which already gets jammed solid at peak times and weekends.

This is a completely inappropriate location.
You are asking to build a town, bigger than Alcester in between two other already sprawling towns.
It will ruin a beautiful, historic, rural county.
You can't build/create a community. It must grow!
The houses will be snapped up by investors.
There is one road from Stratford to Henley in Arden, already severely congested.
There is a dismal public transport system, which is already underused. We will end up with yet more multi car housing.
There is not adequate infrastructure for an influx of thousands of people.
The environmental damage will be catastrophic.

The huge scale of the proposal will dramatically change this predominantly rural location, destroying precious greenery, overloading the fragile existing local infrastructure and make Bearley a cut through between the A3400 and the A46. Snitterfield Road / Bearley Road is becoming increasingly dangerous by increased usage, speeding and HGV traffic using this "back-route". The amount of destruction and damage this proposal would do to a rural, green belt location, is shocking. We are vehemently against this proposal.

Wilmcote, home to one of the most precious historical houses in the country, draws thousands of tourists from around the world every year, adding to the economic vibrancy of Stratford. Renowned for its quaintness, it will lose its vital character, Shakespeare's mother's house swamped by modern houses.
Additionally, its roads are not equipped for heavy traffic. turning right onto Birmingham rd from Featherbed Lane already takes over 8 minutes in the rush hour and at weekends when shoppers and tourists head for Stratford. This week I have noted each morning at 7.45am in excess of 15 cars waiting to turn.

objections to BEARLEY /WILMCOTE plan.
1) Increased traffic on already congested A46 and creating bottle neck in Henley in Arden.
2)Traffic already uses road through Snitterfield and Bearley as a rat run from A46 to A3400. A large development will lead to an intolerable increase in traffic through Bearley village.
3)The villages of Bearley and Wilmcote would lose their individual identities and become an urban sprawl, dissected by the A3400
4)Valuable Warwickshire countryside & habitat would be sacrificed. Green belt should be preserved!
5)Our infrastructure would be overwhelmed.

No this would be a catastrophe for the area. This is an exceptionally tranquil area which surrounds Stratford Upon Avon. Its heritage is rich and should be preserved to maintain the integrity of the “country side”. The environmental impact will be great, we share this world with wildlife too which have the right to prosper in the fields and woodland that surround the area. Do not let this area lose its charm to this ridiculous proposal.

The development of this green belt land would destroy the wildlife corridors that have existed in this area for centuries. This would have serious implications for the biodiversity of our countryside. In this age of accelerating global warming our first priority should be protecting our wildlife. If we do not do this we are not protecting our future on this planet. There will not be anyone left to purchase homes. There would be a huge increase in light, air and noise pollution and flooding from surface water run off. Our villages are amazing communities that need preserving.

I Object to the Bearley/Wilmcote South Warwickshire Local because
It will affect the wildlife, countryside and farming land which is Green Belt land.
This will affect the nature that currently also lives within our village.
This will cause Light, sound and air pollution.
Traffic will be affected and exasperated through our villages and surrounding towns and villages to what is currently hazardous.
Flooding in our village is currently at high risk, building more housing will make this worse.
