I am personally objecting to the building of 6800 houses in Bearley, and also to any significant developments. Currently Bearley is a small community, not set to cater for these numbers proposed for new housing, aspects of significant traffic flow will be encountered, only 2 ways out and both can get congested at rush hours. The main Birmingham road is a far better solution, land to left hand side going out of Bearley is potentially more suitable, however, wherever the proposed site is, the increased traffic on the A3400 will be horrendous.

I object to this development because it is unnecessary development on Green Belt land.
Also this will swamp local infrastructure, it already takes weeks to get a doctor’s appointment in this area.
Flooding is also an issue on the A3400 and it will add thousands more cars onto an already busy and dangerous road.
I am also concerned about the loss of protected trees, woodland, meadows and hedges and the breakdown of wildlife corridors between Beasley and surrounding villages.
Whoever thinks this is a good idea, clearly doesn’t live in this area.

Unnecessary development on geeen belt land which will destroy biodiversity and precious space/views. Increased noise pollution, the A3400 will become gridlocked putting lives of people at risk. The damage to the surrounding countryside will be catastrophic. A peaceful rural village will be swamped by a sprawling urban development. It will close a village school where I work in Wilmcote.

I vehemently disagree with this location:
-it’s in Green Belt
-not a spatial growth high priority area
-not near locations for employment growth
-conservation areas at WIlmcote, Bearley and Snitterfield
-between two SSSI
-there are local wildlife areas nearby at Snitterfield Bushes & Warren Chase
-multiple areas of ancient woodland nearby
-prone to surface water flooding
-overlap SDC Core Strategy special landscape areas
-In a Mineral Safeguarding Area
It goes against Strategic Objective 9: Enriching the tourism potential
And against Strategic Objective 12: protecting and enhancing our environmental assets.

This site is well supported by the infrastructure of the A3400 running through the site to the A46 along with the existing railway stations at Wilmcote and Bearley with connections to Birmingham/Stratford-upon-Avon. The site is therefore very accessible to Stratford-upon-Avon particularly with the full provision of services including healthcare, retail, leisure and employment opportunities. . Whilst the site is rural and as such does have great value to the environment, it does not appear to include any specific rural habitats which should be protected nor does development here appear to result in the loss of strategically important agriculture businesses.

This proposal brings development right up to my front door. I have lost the sale of my house due to this proposal and now question the value of the property based on what may follow. The entire north eastern development will be built on a significant flood plain. There will be nowhere for the water to go. The roads cannot cope with the flooding as it is. Traffic will be severely affected: lights and roundabouts at Henley and Stratford cannot cope with traffic as is. There is not enough infrastructure in place to cope with such an influx of population.

I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed housing development near Wilmcote. Wilmcote is a historic and rural community with a unique character that would be irreversibly damaged by large-scale housing development. It would
1: Overburden Local Infrastructure
2. Harm the Natural Environment
3. Increase Traffic and Safety Risks
4. Erode Wilmcote’s Village Identity
For 6,700 homes, you’d likely need:
• 6-7 primary schools
• 1-2 secondary schools
• 2 medium GP surgeries (or 1 large medical centre)
Also dentists, nurseries and pharmacies. Will these be provided?
Thank you for your attention to this urgent issue.

Birmingham Road congestion, will only be exacerbated by the inevitable increase of cars with the sheer size of this proposed development.
I'm concerned regarding inadequate amenities for an increase in population: doctors, other healthcare facilities, dentists....
Would be devastated to see development in this area. What's the point of having green belt land if you can override it.
Would be a shame to see these small rural villages, turn into small towns.
We've seen large increase in housing development in Stratford in last few years; and are anxious to protect what's left of the heritage of this small market town.

The proposed c6,700 homes between Wilmcote and Bearley will impact adversely and be extremely costly to implement -
Road infrastructure would not
cope
Medical and education establishments required
Railway stations at both W and B villages have little or no parking facilities.
Devastating impact on green belt and wildlife - cannot be regained once lost.
Historical village of Wilmcote will be eroded - Shakespeare property Mary Arden's House in Wilmcote.
Greater flooding risk to new and surrounding properties.
Leamington and Hatton areas more suitable not least because of their superior transport links to motorways and main roads.

There are constant traffic jams in this area, too much traffic already. This development would mean the destruction of wildlife corridors and habitat. There should not be more development on greenfield sites when there are plenty of brownfield sites within Stratford. For example, beside the canal.

The identification of BW as a potential new settlement location, and its categorisation as 'More Suitable', is led by land promotion (i.e. availability) rather than evidence of suitability and sustainability. The assessment of BW with the New Settlements Assessment is flawed. The HELAA Assessment and Bespoke Analysis RAG Results are incorrect. Consequently, constraints including, but not limited to, ownership, sufficient space for growth, transport and heritage, have not been taken fully into account. BW should be discounted as a potential new settlement and should not be taken forward as an allocation in the Publication Plan.

I am not against development but the scale of this proposal is disproportionate. Bearley station will not support any scale of transport requirement and the impact on such a large development will be devastation for the areas’s biodiversity. I wouldn’t be against a smaller development (up to 500 properties) in the same area that maintained the diversity and the rural character of the area.

Unnecessary development on green belt land, destroy our biodiversity, huge increase of vehicles creating more traffic in rural villages. Increased air and noise pollution. Overwhelming our infrastructure- not enough local schools, doctors. Increase in flooding to existing properties and roads as well as new development.

If this development goes ahead it will destroy the biodiversity of the area. A new town that is divided by the busy A3400 will put lives at risk. There have been several deaths on this stretch of road over the 18 years that I have lived in the village. The area in question suffers greatly with water run off which makes very tricky driving conditions on the already busy A3400. In addition the surrounding roads can’t cope with the increase in traffic as they are already congested and the trains do not have the capacity to absorb the excess population.

The roads cannot cope with an increase in cars particularly the local B roads. There is a lack of public transport in the local area, very limited number of buses and trains which don’t go many places. No room for the train holt to be expanded. Protected trees, woodland and wildlife will be lost, wildlife corridors broken down which will destroy our biodiversity. Development will be on green belt which is unnecessary as brownfield sites could be used. More housing will lead to more flooding in the local area. There is no infrastructure to support the proposed development.

I was born and brought up in Wilmcote. It is a small village with narrow roads and no pavements in places. It is already becoming a rat run as a result of building in Bishopton and on the Ridgeway. The infrastructure is not in place to support more houses. It would ruin a village that houses one of the Shakespeare properties that people visit from around the world.

I am very concerned about increased traffic issues. It is already increasingly difficult to get to work in the morning. I am really worried about flood defences. And I am especially anxious about the Shakespeare heritage. Mary Arden was the mother of Shakespeare. Shakespeare would have therefore visited his grandparents in Wilmcote on many occasions. This is a precious heritage, attracting tourists from all over the world. A massive housing development only 0.3 miles from the Shakespeare house would be a tragedy.

Wilmcote is a tourist attraction as Mary Arden’s House is in the village. To build houses on the approach to the village would create traffic chaos; as a result of recent large scale development in the area traffic through the village has already increased dramatically. At peak times the queue to join the Birmingham Road can currently be ten to fifteen cars long. The infrastructure in the village is not there to support more houses and traffic, with narrow roads and no pavement in places. The building programme should be spread out more evenly across the county.

I am mostly concerned about the impact on wildlife and infrastructure. We are already seeing a loss in bird species and I feel this development willhave huge impact on the deer, otters hedgehogs etc that we currently have in our locality. The roads in and around our beautiful village will not cope with extra traffic and I am concerned about the railway bridge and whether that will cope. I realise that houses are needed but the proposal appears ill thought out in terms of infrastructure.

Urban sprawl will result from the BW development option. Two major A roads will suffer significant traffic volume increases. The Green Belt to the north of Stratford will disappear. Infrastructure will be inadequate until the BW proposals are fully developed. Bearley and Wilmcote will lose their identity to this new Town. The railway line running through Bearley is not a viable transport option. Air and noise pollution will increase.
