As a previous resident of the area, and frequent visitor, I strongly object to this plan. This would be hugely detrimental to long established villages such as Wilmcote, with their extensive history. The roads into Stratford are already so busy. Spoiling the appeal of these villages would also impact tourism in the area, people visit to see the quintessential English countryside and unique, individual villages. The environmental impact should also be considered, first and foremost, with the destruction of such beautiful and important green belt land and habitat.

Major congestion A3400 both directions, increase in bottleneck areas Bearley and Henley. Major Impact A46 vehicles cutting through lanes/centre of historical Wilmcote/Mary Ardens house. Damage to roads , railway and canal bridge already fragile, impact structural integrity of grade2 houses. Narrow pavements in village centre, Car and pedestrian accidents. Reduced tourism as village will be less attractive and congested. Loss of green belt/farmland, lack of adequate water wast management capacity, loss of wild life corridor. Wilmcote will become part of Stratford as more houses will likely be proposed alongside A3400/Bishopton island. Traffic washing flood water houses into Featherbed Lane houses

OBJECTIONS TO 6800 HOUSES IN BEARLEY

The inappropriate use of grade 1 agricultural land and building in the green belt.

The vast number of homes proposed will have an adverse effect on other surrounding villages where flooding is already

a major problem.

The building of these homes and the inevitable concreting over the land will add further.

There is no infrastructure in the area to support such a mindless proposal.

Stratford upon Avon has had a very large number of new builds in it’s area with little

improvement in available infrastructure, and this will only add to the major problem.

Where will jobs be created to support this population increase? And the inevitable

commuting will be the result.

I wish to record my objection to this proposal.

I agree with the New Settlements proposal as this would then mean there is the opportunity to offer better facilities for the new build rather than putting pressure on the existing infrastructure which is already stretched - doctors, dentists, schools, local shops. This location has good access to the rail network without increasing congestion in Stratford Town centre at commuting times. If the proposal went ahead to the East or South of Stratford any rail commuters going from Stratford station would have to drive through the town centre increasing congestion at key times.

The proposed housing development on Bearley Farm and Gorse Farm 673 on the map is on the boundary with our land and overlooks it as it is on higher ground and therefore very visible. It is also visible from the Community woodland and would therefore detract from the peace and tranquility of this area.
I would also mean that cars from the new development would need to drive through the village adding to the danger to pedestrians where there is no footpath.

This land is green belt and completely inappropriate for development. Langley Road is already a major cut through but is unfit for larger vehicles and regularly is impassable due to flooding. There is often flooding on the a3400. The increase in vehicle traffic and loss of habitat will be devastating to the local wildlife. The train from Bearley is on single track and has a very infrequent service - people will continue to use their cars. There are better options available

I disagree with the proposed New Settlement Location BW as the BW location is greenbelt and green-belt should only be used in exceptional circumstances. There are other locations in the SWLP that are not green belt and it is these other sites that should be used. The proposed size of the development is totally disproportionate. The increased volume of traffic would be unmanageable and have potential road safety issues. The biodiversity of the area would be destroyed and what is a rural landscape would become an urban development.

I object to the proposed to the BW development as it will bring travel chaos to the A3400 north an south and along existing 'rat-runs' of Langley Road, Snitterfield Road and Gospel Oak lane. It will ruin the lives of local villagers and Henley-in-Arden residents. Today these roads are already very busy at peak times. It is naive to think that residents of this new development will travel other than by car, perhaps 6000x2 of them. Furthermore, this is productive Green Belt land that is not close to a SW Major Investment Site nor a Strategic Growth location.

The urban sprawl will come close to merging the towns of Stratford and Henley with irreparable damage done to the Green Belt and the historic communities within it.
This will be a dormitory development. Residents will be constrained to travel for work and leisure. The existing road, rail and bus provision is inadequate to bear the additional burden.
There will be deleterious impacts on neighbouring areas. Now there is noticeable commuter / rat run traffic through Aston Cantlow. This will only worsen.
Other non – Green Belt sites are available. Please do not spoil established countryside and communities.

No, I do not agree with the proposed New Settlement Location BW being included in the plan. The road infrastructure is not sufficient to handle thousands of additional cars, leading to increased congestion and safety concerns. There are also not enough local jobs to support the new residents, meaning many would have to commute elsewhere. Schools in the area are already at capacity, leaving children without places. Additionally, there aren’t enough doctors to meet existing demand, let alone serve a growing population. Without major improvements, this development would put too much strain on the community.

The proposed site for development of 6500 is, in my opinion, absolutely absurd, the village of Wilmcote is 500 homes and the plan for a town the size of Alcester to be placed here is ill thought out and will be a disaster for the existing communities. The traffic network does not cope well currently as SDC will already be well aware- the queues in Summer along the Birmingham Road into Stratford town are already unacceptable.
The addition of approx 10-12K more cars will make this an area of complete gridlock and destroy the local environment.

Poor planning and location based on a small railway halt.
Floodwaters from higher fields regularly cross the A3400 to the proposed site, further waterlogging.
Insufficient road and transport infrastructure to support this size development see Meon Vale!!
Example: an Event was held in Bearley on 02.03.2025 that attracted hundreds of vehicles which gridlocked the village for hours, residents were ‘imprisoned’ and a medical access emergency, may have resulted in a fatality!
Unnecessary development on Green Belt Land

We share a boundary of approximately 200 yards with the proposed development on Bearley Farm and Gorse Farm673 on the map. The new houses would be on higher ground overlooking our property which is planted with many mature trees. It is also visible from the recently acquired Community Wood which is a tranquil spot for walking and the proposed buildings would change this and would be out of keeping with recreating the Forest of Arden. The houses would be more suitable to be built off the A3400 and there would be less traffic along the narrow village road.

This is prime green belt land with many important species and plants. Effecting biodiversity. I regularly see otters when I run along the canal in the marked area.

The roads are already difficult to cross, with it being a significant route between towns. Often I can get stuck at the junction for over 5 minutes at non peak times.

Loss of Green Belt and increase in Urban Sprawl. This will destroy wildlife habitats and the natural beauty of Wilmcote and Bearley.

There is a lack of employment opportunities in the local area. This will lead to more commuting and making the settlement environmentally unsustainable. Non green belt sites like Leamington, Hatton or Long Marston will be more suitable and will have better road links and will cause less harm to the environment.

Wilmcote is identified as high risk for flooding. The settlement will increase this problem.

Areas of natural beaty surrounding the villages will be destroyed impacting mental well-being.

Increased road congestion on A3400 & A46. Peak hours traffic is not good now. Local employment is limited so large increase in commuters. Current infrequent rail services from Wilmcote and Bearley stations may not cope compared to more frequent faster trains from Leamington Spa and Hatton. Bearley station is single track so not allowing trains in both directions at peak times. Storm water run off causing flooding of railway at Wilmcote station as has happened before also Wilmcote village centre. Permanent loss of hedgerows, open countryside and natural wildlife habitats. General loss of village communities.
