Wilmcote will be unable to cope with the increase in traffic. Church Road in Wilmcote is of insufficient width for two commercial vehicles to pass (National Highways criteria) as they, despite being on a bus route, currently mount the kerb and or and drive over gardens and the verge when passing. There is no footpath, and the carriageway cannot be widened, therefore creating danger to life and damage to property in the village in close proximity to the primary school.
No parking space at Wilmcote station - Land to east of station prone to flooding.

Extremely concerned about the devastation to our local wildlife, ancient deer paths and wildlife corridors.
Loss of ancient trees, woodland, meadows & hedges
Thousand of extra vehicles on A3400 & A46 impacting Wilmcote as drivers use the village as a cut through

Unthinkable pressure on our infrastructure, schools, GPs, sewage systems, water supply & hospitals.

This plan would ruin the beauty and tranquility of our village. The roads are already too busy.
The strain on an already inadequate infrastructure would be devastating.
This beautiful green belt must be protected. The loss of protected woodlands, trees and countryside has to be stopped.
The flood increase from the run off from that amount of housing would be disastrous and cause horrific flooding to the surrounding villages.
Surely it is common sense to break it into smaller parcels and plots and distribute them throughout the county, concentrating the largest amount in those areas that already have adequate infrastructure.

With these up coming plans I am concerned how this will affect my village and surrounding areas in multi ways.
The destruction of the wildlife corridors around Wilmcote and other surrounding villages, linked with this the loss of the trees, woodland, meadows and hedges which play a very vital part in supporting and providing habitat to our local wildlife.
The building of this immense amount of houses will bring many more vehicles into our area clogging our roads in turn creating more gridlocking in Stratford, Henley, A3400 and A46.

Infrastructure issues - Road flooding frequently on The Ridgeway.
Lack of parking at Bearley & Wilmcote rail stations.
Destruction of wildlife and environment in rural area.
Increased traffic @ A46 and A3400 junction at Bishopton will create serious congestion, delay & pollution on major arterial route.
Massive increase in vehicular traffic to Birmingham Road worsening congestion into Stratford-on-Avon.
Narrow or no footpath on existing roads in Wilmcote unable to be widened to cope with increased volume of heavy traffic.

The rural area of Bearley and wilmcote would be ruined by these plans, the country side would be blighted by further housing and this is in an area with already heavy traffic. The main roads to Stratford are already overloaded 7 days a week and the area could not manage with further traffic and the disruption building work would cause, and amenities locally are already stretched. The country side is to enjoy and it is unnecessary to disrupt iit. I grew up in this area and it should remain untouched. .

Thousands more vehicles will lead to gridlock on routes already at capacity. I would be unable to commute to my job. Surrounding villages will be impacted, affecting livelihoods and safety of road users. Bearley Station is not a viable commuter station!
Children’s lives would be at risk crossing the A3400 for school. Bearley Cross has frequent traffic collisions and no pavement.
The Green Belt must be protected to stop urban sprawl! An increase in air and noise pollution is disastrous. Our infrastructure would buckle, flooding would be even worse.
Tourism would adversely affected- Shakespeare’s countryside should be celebrated not concreted!

I completely disagree with this proposal.
The cross roads junction at Bearley Cross is already an accident hotspot. With increased traffic this will be worse with potential deaths. My 3 children walk down Salters lane onto the main A3400 and it is already a problem. More vehicles on the roads resulting in more traffic in villages and surrounding towns.
The rivers cannot cope with the flooding at the moment, with a new development this will be vastly increased.
Wildlife corridors will be broken down. Destroying the bio diversity of this rural area situated in the heart of green belt.

A development of this size will increase traffic through Wilmcote which is used as a detour route to avoid Stratford.
Accidents on the M42 & M40 only increase the existing traffic problems. The A3400 is inadequate with existing traffic as is the nearby accident ridden A46
Destruction of Pathlow countryside that used to absorb large amounts of rainfall will cause extra water runoff and increased flooding for Bearley and Bishopton
The sewage systems cannot cope now with the present pressure on them. And the loss of wildlife habitat cannot be sustained. Or replaced. These plans are insane

Concerns include increased traffic, which would exacerbate road safety issues and overwhelm local infrastructure. The strategic transport assessment highlights impractical and costly road upgrades, limited rail network capacity, and inadequate cycling routes. Additionally, the flood risk is a significant concern as the development site lies within a floodplain, enhancing the likelihood of flood events affecting both new homes and existing infrastructure. The proposed development threatens the green belt, which is crucial for preventing urban sprawl, and risks damaging the historic setting of Mary Arden’s House. Collectively, these issues indicate that the development is economically unsound, environmentally harmful, and culturally detrimental.

I do not agree with putting a town of the proposed size next to the villages of Wilmcote and Bearley. As a graduate trainee in Civil Engineering at AECOM, I do not think the new development would be sustainable due to the limitations of infrastructure sufficient to cope with the projected population, whether in respect to transport and road systems, or flooding risks and the problem of run-off. Roads in Wilmcote are already used as a cut-through and a settlement of this size would create unsustainable volumes of extra traffic and pollution, having a very negative impact on the village.

BW site: Based on our own assessment of the HELAA evaluations, the ‘more suitable’ designation for BW is inaccurate and fails to take account of many vital issues. This is particularly so when the sites are meant to have been evaluated in terms of suitability and appropriateness.

HELAA assessments fundamentally overstate the attractions of the BW proposal for development. It appears that this is based on a paper-based approach that has not considered the realities on the ground. The BW full response addresses these realities - and makes it clear that BW is a completely unsuitable place for development.

Bearley Parish Council believes it would be completely wrong to proceed with the BW proposals as the overall and individual sites are totally unsuitable for development. The BW site is split by the fast and dangerous A3400. It floods regularly, risking flooding half of Bearley houses. It would damage a precious SSSI and protected wildlife, merge and destroy the villages of Bearley and Wilmcote. These would become Stratford’s northern suburb. Much evidence used to support BW is wrong e.g. missing rail line. Instead of destroying Green Belt land, the seven non-Green Belt sites should be developed, as in the NPPF.

The proposed BW settlement is unsustainable and ill-conceived. The SWLP options by SDC and WDC desk top excercises and fails to recognise the realities of the situation in the villages affected. The transport infrastructure both road and rail will require significant upgrading costing millions. in addition the upgrading will not provide sustainable modes of transport as the rail network and stations cannot be easily upgraded to cope with a settlement as proposed. The RAG should be red.
The rural landscape surrounding the globally important historic market town of Stratford on Avon the home of Shakespeare’s heritage will be irrevocably destroyed.

It’s wrong to proceed with the BW proposals. The site just isn’t suitable, it floods regularly and this will get worse. It’s split by the A3400 - which has a death every 4 plus years, and will only get more traffic. It has a precious SSSI with rare bats and butterflies. And it is green belt land - developing BW would like Bearley with Stratford. You should develop non green belt sites, not green belt sites! And there is no rail line to Earlswood! This is just bad thinking and should be stopped.

Bottlenecks already exist on the A3400 north and south at Henley and Stratford, the current volume of traffic causes frequent tailbacks. With more, congestion and pollution would increase massively further damaging the environment. Public transport isn’t an option; trains to the stations at Bearley and Wilmcote are infrequent; there isn’t space for parking to accommodate a large increase in their use. The A3400 is increasingly prone to excess surface water and flooding; this problem would be further exacerbated. Also, stress on drainage systems and run-off would adversely affect surrounding villages and roads already at flood risk when there’s heavy rain
